Alle ys pryde and vanyte; [folio 25a:2]
Of al behoueþ þe shryuë be.
No prydë ne may be stole,
No yn shryftë be forhole; [O. gloss 'hed.']
Line 3692
For ȝyf hyt be forholë here
Yn oþer stede þou shalt abye hyt dere.
Now of pryde shul we leue and dwelle,
And furþer of oþer synnys telle;
Line 3696
Þogh y þer-of spake euere [O, euere þer of spake Harl.] and oo,
Ȝyt myȝt menne telle of [O. omits 'of.'] many mo;
For of pryde ys þe bygynnyng
Of al manere wykked þyng:
Line 3700
God shelde vs þer-yn to falle,
And haue mercy on vs alle! [O. adds 'Amen.']
[Of Anger, the 2nd Deadly Sin.]
The touþer synne men callë yre,
Þe deuylys doghtyr of hellë fyre.
Ȝyf þou art so wundyr wroþe
Line 3705
with one þat to þe ys [ys to þe.] dedly loþe,
Ȝyf þou nat sone repentë þe
To helle þou fallest þe fyrst gre.
Line 3708
Þe man wraþþyþ hym lyghtly,
For lytyl, as yn malyncoly,
Þat synnë ne ys [ne ys nat.] ryght gref
Þat sone ys wroþe, and lyghtly lef.
Line 3712
Noþeles, hyt were weyl to done,
wysman shulde nat wraþ hym sone.
ȝyf þer be oþer lorde or syre

Line 3716
And euermore 7yn strenkþe7 [7_7 ylych yn strenþe.]
Þat wraþþë drawe [draghþe.] yn lenþe,
Þat ychë wraþþe ys synnë strong
Þat lastyþ yn any man so long.
Line 3720
Ȝyf þou for wraþþe madyst chydyng,
Or repreuedyst a man of vyle þyng,
