Ne gert þe folk na louing make
To him þat sent it for þaire sake,
Line 460
Þarfore oure lord god all-mighty,
Said vnto moyses opinly,
Þat he suld noght þa childer bring
Vnto þe land of his heteing,
Line 464
Þat was þe land of promisiowne,
Þat he had made vnto þam boune.
Þan moyses wist and wele he kend
Þat his life drogh nere þe ende;
Line 468
To þe hill of thabor þan went he
And þare he sett þir wandes thre,
By-side a water vnder þat hill,
For he hopid it was goddes will
Line 472
Þat gude werk suld with þam be done;
Þan efter þis he died sune.
Quomodo dauid tulit uirgas in ierusalem.
Still þan stode þa wandes þare
A thowsand ȝere and wex nomare,
Line 476
Bot in astate ay gan þai stand
Till dauid was king of iews land;
And þat was a lang tyme bitwene,
And euer þai groued ilyke grene;
Line 480
Þan dauid was thurgh þe haly gaste
Warned þat he suld wende in haste,
In-to þe land of araby
Till þe hill of thabor hastily,
Line 484
Þe thre wandes þare forto fett,
Þat moyses þe profett had sett; [folio 79:2]
To ierusalem þat þai war broght
For thurgh þam suld be wonders wroght,
Line 488
And diuers dedis done bidene,
And efterward so was it sene;
Þus when dauid warned was
Till araby sone gan he pas,
Line 492
To þe hill of thabor fast he ȝode,
