In metaphesyk ne astronomye.
ius doctor

Jhesus
Omnis sciencia a domino deo est
Al wytt and wysdam of god it is lent
Of all ȝour lernynge with-inne ȝour brest
thank hyghly þat lord þat hath ȝow sent
thorwe bost and pryde ȝour soulys may be shent
Of wytt and wysdome ȝe haue not so mech

ius doctor
Nay all erthely clerkys þat telle can nought

It is not possyble A-bought to be brought

Jhesus
How it was wrought and how longe it xal endure

How it is wrought I knowe þe plasmacion.

Com to þe wytt of so hyȝ cognysion
Of þo grete wurkys þat so wundyrfull were.
Jhesus
All thynge is brought to informacion
be thre personys oo god in trynite
and on of þo thre hath take in-carnacion
bothe flesch and blood of a mayd ffre
And be þat myght of þo personys thre

ius doctor
I grawnt weyl all thynge þat god dyde make
and with-owtyn hym no thynge may be
But o thynge þou seydyst and þat I for-sake

Ryght on-possyble þat is to me

If þou canst preve it a-non lett se
Ffor in oure hertys it may nevyr synke.

That maydonys childe xal do grett cure
