Incipit/ fabula aparitoris [on leaf 107]
LOrdeynges þere is in ȝorke-schire as .I. gesse
A merschy contre called holdernesse
In whiche þere went a limitour a-boute.
To preche and eke to bigge it is no doute [folio 107b]
And so be-fell þat on a daie þis frere
Line 1713
Hadde preched att þe cherche in þis manere
And specialy aboue euery þinge
He excited þe peple in his precheinge
Line 1716
To trentals and for goddes saake
þere-wiþe men mihte holy houses maake
þere as deuyne seruice is honoured
Nouȝt þere as is wasted and deuoured
Line 1720
Ne þere it nedeþ nouht for to be ȝeue
As to possessioners þat maie elles leue
þankede he god in wele and abundance
Trentals seide he deliuerþ fro penance
Line 1724
Here frendes soule as wele olde and ȝonge
If þat þei bien hastely songe
Nouht for to holde a preste Iolif and gaie
He singeþ not bot o messe on a daie
Line 1728
Deliuerd oute anone þe soules
Ful harde it is wiþ fleschehokes or with oules
Nowe spede ȝowe hastely for cristes sake

To kepe ȝowe fro þe peines of þe fendes blake
Line 1731
And whan þe frere hadde seide al his entente
Wiþ qui cum patre forþe he wente
Whan folke in churche had ȝeue him what hem lest
He went his waie no longer wolde he rest
Line 1736
