Þat þey neuer swych þyng graunte,
Two to wedde of fals cunnaunte;
Line 11200
For many come neuer yn wedlak
But for þe fyrst cunnaunt þat men spak.
Also, for men by-hete hem largely,
Are chyldryn wedded ofte for-þy;
Line 11204
For þyr are many wedded for gode,
And for no stedfast loue of blode,
And, þat ys no [no O, þe H.] ryȝt weddyng;
Hyt quemeþ nat to heuene kyng.
Line 11208
Many one weddeþ euery deyl
For þe loue of syre kateyl;
whan hyt ys go, and ys alle bare,
þan ys þe weddyng sorowe & kare;
Line 11212
loue ande catel þan ys awey,
And 'welaweye' þey cry and sey.
And ȝe men þat brekyn cunnaunte,
Ȝe selfe falsen þat ȝe fyrst graunte;
Line 11216
Þan ys weddelak þurgh ȝow shent,
Þat was þe fyrst sacrament;
Ȝe shende hyt wyþ ȝoure fals behetyng,
And þey noȝt weddë but þe þyng;
Line 11220
So, betwyxe fals and coueytous,
ys welaweyë broȝt to hous.
Of þys myȝt men mochë speke,
But leuer ys me my mouþe to steke
Line 11224
Þan y spak oȝt oute of skore,
For sone y myȝt be blamed þarfore.
God ȝyue hem grace, þo þat shul wedde,
Yn ryȝt wedlak be broȝt to bedde;
Line 11228
And delyuer hem of here wyues
Þat oute of skyle chyden and stryues!
[Of the Seventh Sacrament,—Aneylyng or Extreme Unction.]
Now of þe seuenþe sacrament:
Line 11231
Þese clerkys kalle hyt 'oynament,'
On Englys hyt ys 'anelyng'
whan man shal make hys endyng;
