Quod si sit femina.
And ȝef heo be a wommon,Byd hyre telle, ȝef heo con,
Of what degre þe mon was
That synned wyþ hyre in þe cas,
Syb or sengul or any spowse,
Or what degre of relygyowse,
Or wheþer hyt were a-gayn hyre wylle,
Or wheþer heo a-sented fully þer-tylle,
Or wheþer hyt were for couetyse
Of gold or seluer or oght of hyse,
Þenne þe synne dowbul were,
And neded penawnce myche more.
Why & where, how & whenne,
And how ofte aske hyre þenne,
Of alle poyntes þow moste wyte,
As by-fore I haue wryte.
