[U thai.] that sekis to luf hym, with the whilke thai may fle fra the conuersacioun of ill men, and rest in contemplacioun of god: as of doufe. that flees fra angirs, and lesis not luf, and ay is in sorow. swa godis lufere will be departid fra tha whaim he may not amend. bot ay he lufis thaim and hays sorow for thaire syn. or we may say that a goed man couaitis to dye, and be departid fra ill men, and rest with crist.
