Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; [holocaustis non delectaberis].

For, yif thow woldist haue had offryng,
I had it ȝeuen with hert[e] fre;
Bot thow schal haue noon lykyng
In sacrifyce of that degree;
For thow were offrid vp hongyng
For mannes sake on rode tree,
And of thin hert gan bloode oute sprynge,
Wherfore my hert I offre the.
