Here spake the autour

Iff any best in shap passed cours of kynde,
A wonder in that wald many man fynde,
Bot if a parfit man were a parfit as,
Mikel more meruayl wald man say it was.
Bot more maruayl may who so can
How verraily is on bothe god and man,
For he wald saue mankynde, that fouly was lorn,
Child of an erthly woman wald he be born.
Syn God in erth for loue of man wald mak his halle,
Nede it was to make it best and fairest of alle.
