2. Etenim in corde iniquitatem operamini in terra: in|iusticias manus vestre concinnant. ¶ fforwhi in hert wickid|nissis ȝe wirke in erth: vnrightwisnessis ȝoure hend gadirs. ¶ Thai may noght right deme that has wickidnes in hand and hert, that thai wirke in erth. for thai luf erthly thyngis, and swa thaire ill dedis acordis til thaire thoght: for the hand folous the hert.
3. Alienati sunt peccatores a vulua: errauerunt ab vtero, locuti sunt falsa. ¶ Aliend ere synful fra maghe [S marice.] : thai ere [S errede.] fra the wambe, thai spak fals. ¶ Synful men ere aliend fra maghe [S marice.] ,
