The fourþe comaundment ys, “oure
Fadyr & modyr we shal honoure.”
Certys þe chylde trespasyþ ful yl
Þat wyl nat do þe fadrys wyl;
Þe chylde owyþ hys wyl al do,
But dedly synne be þar-vnto;
For god forbedeþ swych synne algate,
For loue, or for drede, erly or late.
Ellys yn al þyng þat we may,
Fadyr & modyr wurschype we ay.
Fadyr & modyr we shal honoure.”
