Magna sententia pronuncienda.
The gret sentence I write here,
That twies or thries in the yere
Thou shalt pronounce, without lette,
Whan thi parisse is togidir mette
Thou shall pronounce this idous thing,
With crosse & candell and bell knylling
Speke oute redely fir noȝt þou wond,
That all mowe the understonde.

With crosse & candell and bell knylling
Speke oute redely fir noȝt þou wond,
That all mowe the understonde.

Than þou thi candell shalt cast to grounde
And spet therto þe same stound
And lete also þe belles knylle
To make her hortes the mor grylle
Oþer poyntes ben many and fell
Þat beth not well fore to hele
Þat þou myȝt knowe thi self best
In the chartor of fforest
In þe gret chartor also
Thou myȝt se many mo.
