Ȝyf þou yn yre a man hate, And þat wraþþë wylt nat late, Greuusly þou art yn synne, But þou forȝeue, and þer-of blynne. Line 3732 Þe holy man seyþ hardly, [hardyly.] Þat þou hast slayn hym gostly.
Ȝyf þy wraþþe þou wylt not [nat.] blynne, [O. gloss 'leue.'] But bryngest anoþer to þy synne, Line 3736 Þou shalt haue chargë of [for.] þo boþe, For þurgh ȝoure wraþþe are oþer wroþe; For þy defaute þan synneþ he, Þe morë perel þyn shal be. Line 3740
