Ne proicias me a faci[e] tua, & spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

Cast me noght fro thi visage;
Take noght awey thi holy goost;
For in the sight of that ymage
Is fulsomnesse and myrth[e] moost.
I haue ben wylde & doon outrage,
Vnwisely wroght, as thow wele woost;
Therfore sende me some corage
To fight agaynes the fendes oost.
