Here bigines of þe trinite and of þe making of all þe worlde
Alle men aue þat lauerd drede,
þat mirthes settis man to mede,
þat euer was and ay sal be,
Line 273
Widuten ende in trinite.
He þat lauerd, bath godd and man,
Anekines thing of him bigan,
Line 276
þou he bigan all oþer thing,
Himself had neuer biginyng;
Of him can all, in him Is al,
All haldis he vp fra dunefall;
Line 280
He haldis heuen and erde stedfast;
Widuten him may na thing last.
þis lauerd þat es sua mekil of might
Puruaid all in his aun sight,
Line 284
And þat he ordained wid his witt
He multeplijs and gouernis itt,
þar for es he cald þe trinite,
For he es an-fold god in thre;
Line 288
And if þu wenis it may noght be,
Bihald þe sune, þan may þu se,
In þe sune þat schines clere
Es a thing and thre thinges sere,
Line 292
A bodi round, hote, and light,
þir thre we find all at a sight;
þir thinges thre wid nankin arte
Ne may noght be fra oþer part,
Line 296
For if þu take þe light away
þe erd it has na sune parfay;
And if þe hete away be tan [folio 3b:1]
Sune forsoth ne has þu nan,
Line 300
On ilk a maner ilk man wate,
It es þe kind of sune be hate.
