Contra superbiam.
Agaynus pruyde wythowte les,Þe forme remedy ys mekenes,
Ofte to knele and erþe to kys,
And knowlache wel þat erþe he ys,
And dede mennus bonus ofte to se,
And þenke þat he schal syche be.
Þe peynes of helle haue ȝerne in thoȝt,
And domes day for-ȝete thow noght,
Crystus passyone haue in mynde,
Þat sleth pruyde, as wryten I fynde,
And who so þenketh þus in stedefast thoȝt,
Pruyde he schale sette at noȝt.
