He shal neuer þe blys a-byde,
For no þyng þat may betyde.
Line 9960
Yn þe oldë lawë, þus ys wryte,
Boþe Iewes and crysten weyl hyt wete,
"God seyd, and hyt was wroȝt;
he commaunded alle þyng of noȝt."
Line 9964
Þese wurdës are verry and clere;
Dauyd hem seyth yn þe sautere;
Syn he made alle þat noȝt er was,
lesse maystry were hyt þan [þan were hyt.] yn kas,
Line 9968
For to chaunge þe lekënes [lyknes.]
Yn-to an ouþer þyng þat es;
þe lykënes of bred and wyne,
Line 9971
Yn flesshe and blode to turne hyt ynne;
Yn flessh and blode þe brede be broȝt,
Syn he madë alle [al byfore of noght.] of noȝt.
Ȝyf þou se hyt nat with bodly [bodyly.] syȝt,
Line 9975
Þy soule with-ynne shal beleue hyt ryȝt;
And ȝyf þou felë no sauour,
But ryghtely wyne, and brede of flour, [But . . . flour O. But ryȝt bred and wyne of flour H.]
Þat ys þe wysdom of Goddys ordynaunce
For to saue vs alle fro þys chaunce;
Line 9980
For ȝyf hyt fyl, as flesshe to take, [folio 66b]
wlate we shulde, and hyt forsake;
And for he wulde nat men hyt forsoke,
But þat alle men hyt vndyrtoke,
Line 9984
Þarfore hys wysdom, hys ownë rede,
Sauerþ hyt yn wyne and brede;
Hyt semeþ bredë, as be [by.] syȝt,
And as brede, sauer haþ ryȝt;
Line 9988
Noþyr þe [þy.] syȝt, noþer þe [no þy.] felyng,
Haþ [Hast þou on no (but altered in the same hand).] þer-of any certeyn þyng;
what shal þan, þe most saue, [[6-syllable line]]
But stedfast beleue þat þou shalt haue?
Stedfast beleue of euery deyl,
Line 9993
Þat shal þan, saue þe weyl. [[6-syllable line]]
