At the instaunce of myn owne modier swete—
Line 36
To whom I may no maner thing denye,
And mercy also may I nought for-gete;
But vnto hir bone I wil myself applie:—
This grace I graunte them of my Regalye,
Line 40
That I schal hem receyve vnto my peas;
Of hellë peyne I graunte hem ful relees.
Line 42
(7)
So thei that han me, Ihesu, mercy cried
Line 43
Or that the breeth out of the body yeed, [folio 27]
And alle hire wrechid lustys have defied
In veray faith (as techith hem the crede)
So þat ye schal not a-geyn hem procede
Line 47
As to iuge hem to hellë [bittre] peyne,
But that in this, your rygoure ye restreyne.
Line 49
(8)
And thow þat hir wikked [? wikke.] workis counterpeise
Line 50
hire good[ë] dedës whan thei schul be weye,
So þat the beter part hem selfë reyse
As for defawte of weighte, yit thus I seye
And will, þat [to] this chartre ye obeye,
Line 54
Wich I have graunted for my modier sake:
To mercy also her have I [i-]take.
Line 56
(9)
Of tresour of my bitter passïoun,
Line 57
And of the merite of my modier der—
To whom non othir hath comparysoun—
With merite of myn seintës alle in fer,
That to my biddyng ful obeysaunt were,
Line 61
Of plente and of superhábundaunce
A forcet ful, wich puttith in the balaunce,
Line 63
(10)
The countirpeis a-geyn the fendis part,
Line 64
So that he faile of his entencïoun
To bringë hem, so with his subtile art,
To be iuged [vn-]to dampnacïoun
Withowt ony comfort of saluacioun,
Line 68
