eveniunt.
We rede in 'Vitis Patrum' how þer was som tyme a gude
man̛ þat suffred wrong of a noder, and he compleynyd

ansswerd̛ hym̛ agayn̛ & said̛ "He did̛
not þis, bod þi synnys did itt. And þerfor̛
blame not þis man̛ in nothyng at he duse vnto þe, nor
at is happend vnto þe, bod say at þi synnys hatℏ
adlid̛ þaim."
...Peccatum fetet coram deo et angelis. Supra de
Angelo, iij.
...Peccatum onerat hominem et animam. Infra de simia.
