HUMILITY

I shall do you to understand That I have said mine evensong But fit I pray you tell me now How this case happened to you Then will we them exhort Unto virtue to resort, & so forsake sin Sir it is a pitiful case That you would forsake grace And to vice apply Sir I shall him exhort Unto us to resort And you to forsake That shall you see even anon I will unto him gone And see what he will say I shall tell you shortly Kneel down and ask God mercy For that you have offended Youth Wilt thou do so Pride Follow them and let us go Mary I trow nay Thus have we brought our matter to and end Before the persons here present Would every man be content Jest onother day we be shent Well sir I put me in good is will Whither he will me save or spill And sir I pray you do so And trust in God what so ever you do Christ y to was crucified & crowend with thorn And of a virgin for ̄ than was born Some knowledge send to me Of my brother Charity Sir I shall undo the bands From your feet and your hands Sir I pray you tell me anon Whither they be gone And when they come again You be welcome to this place here we think you labour all in vain wherefore your brains we will steer And kele you a little again ¶Here be books for your devotion And keep you from all temptation Let no vice devour When you see misdoing men Good counsel give them And teach them to amend For your sin look you morn And evil creatures look you turn For your name who makes inquisition Sayt it is good contrition That for sin does morn Jesu that sitteth in heaven so hie Save all this fair company Men and women that here be Amen, Amen for charity.
