Et secundum multitudinem miseracionum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
And, aftir thi mercyes þat ben fele,
Lord, for-do my wykkednesse;
Help [me] for to hyde and hele
The blames of my bre[c]helnes.
Ȝif any strengh[e] wil me stele
Out of the close of thi clennes,
Wys me, Lorde, in wo and wele,
And kepe me for thi kyndenes.
