This is an holy verse also ageyn goostly enmyes. Delicta iuuentutis mee et ignorancias meas me memineris domine.

The trespacis of my tendir youthe,
Nor the gyltes of my grene age,
On-to thy right lat nat be kouthe
Tyl tyme that thy Ire asswage,
Myn ignoraunces nor Outrage
As I dysserve nat recorde,
Tyl pes be leyd as ffor Ostage
That right and mercy may accorde.
