¶ De Elemosinario. [See The Almonry of Henry VIII. A.D. 1526, H. Ord. p. 154, and p. 144; A.D. 1539, H. Ord. p. 239.]
¶ The aumenere by þis hathe sayde grace,And þo almes dysshe hase sett in place;
Þer-in þe keruer a lofe schalle sette,To serue god fyrst with-outen lette;Line 732 Þese oþer lofes he parys a-boute,Lays hit myd dysshe with-outen doute.Þe smalle lofe he cuttis euen in twynne,Þo ouer dole in two lays to hym.Line 736 The aumenere a rod schalle haue in honde,As office for almes, y vndurstonde.Alle þe broken met he kepys y wate,To dele to pore men at þe ȝate,Line 740 And drynke þat leues serued in halle;Of ryche and pore bothe grete and smalle.He is sworne to ouer-se þe seruis wele,And dele hit to þe pore euery dele;Line 744 Seluer he deles rydand by way;And his almys dysshe, as I ȝou say,To þe porest man þat he can fynde,Oþer ellys I wot he is vnkynde.Line 748
