Moyses went vp-on þat fell, [folio 36b:2]
And fourti dais can þer-on duell,
þe quilk he fasted, als we rede,
To get lagh his folk wit to lede.
Line 6464
þan come vr lauerd til him onan,
And taght him tables tuain o stan,
Wit his comamentes ten,
And bad vn-do þam til his men.
Line 6468
And for we agh þam hald wit dett,
In þis boke i haue þam sette.
"Trou þou in na godd bot in an,
Line 6471
Ne aythes mani [[read man]] ne suere þou nan,
Hald þou wel þin halidai,
Fader and moder þou wirschip ai,
Do þou naman wrangwis o lijf,
Ne reue nanoþer man his wijf;
Lok þat þou ne reue ne stele,
Line 6477
Ne ber þou witnes nan bot lele,
þi neghbur wijf ȝerne noght at haue,
Ne aght of his, ne mai, ne knaue."
