Whoso redes this romance,
Trowe in God with on substance,
Bot on is God and persons thre,
Non othir thing in God may be.
Four sisters that we before rede
Are four vertues in the godhede;
To four doghters thai haue lyknyng,
For thai procure all gode doyng;
Bot all thai are on God of myȝtes mast,
He is Fader and Sone and Haly Gast.
If thou trowe this wele and stedfastly,
Thou may haue mede ay-lastan[d]ly.
