Byd hym þat he abyde algate;
Hym dar nat syng ȝyt ouer late."
For hym shal so Goddys seruyse abyde
Tyl hyt be passed ouer þe tyde.
Line 4288
Ȝyt perauenture, at hys rysyng,
Of God spekeþ he no þyng,
But ȝyf hyt be of sum vanyte
Þat rennyþ [renþ.] yn hys þoght; [þogh.] þat spekeþ he.
And when he cumþ vnto þe messe,
Þere behoueþ hym hys here [heer.] dresse;
Ful fewe bedys are yn hys mouþe,
He vsyþ none; þey are vncouthe.
Line 4296
And ȝyf a frere cum for to preche,
Of a dyner were bettyr speche;
Þan seyþ he, "God shal alle saue; [folio 29a:2]
Do wel; wel shalt þou haue."
Line 4300
Certys þat ys nat ynow,
For he [Harl. omits 'he.'] doþ no þyng to prow.
But ȝyf he wulde lestene þe frere,
To do weyl þan myȝt he lere.
Line 4304
Ȝyf hyt be nat þan redy, hys dyner,
Take furþe þe chesse or þe tabler;
So shal he pley tyl hyt be none,
And Goddys seruyse be al done.
Line 4308
Alas, wykkédly he dyspendyþ
Alle þe lyfe þat God hym sendyth!
Aftyr þe none, þan shal he do
As he dede before none so.
Line 4312
Swyche a lyfe þan shal he lede,
Noght þat he shal haue to mede;
yn alle hys lyfe shal he [nat] fynde
Oght þat may hym of pyne vnbynde;
Line 4316
No more he halt to God cunnaunt,
But weyl more to Termagaunt;
He [He þat.] ys no morë [more a.] crystyn man
