Iohun and to his preier, that thei ȝeue to me the seid fee of xxti. pound." But so it is, that euer|either of the ij. former seid spechis is alloweable. Wherfore euereither of the [these, MS. (first corrector).] ij. spechis of preiers ben also allowable. The first premisse is open ynouȝ, as is prouid bifore bi the vje. reule and his proof. And that the ije. premisse is trewe, it may be prouid thus: To this speche, "Iohun ȝeueth to me this seid fee "of xxti. pound," and to this speche, "His preier ȝeueth to me the same xxti. pound," the dewe vn|dirstondingis ben these: "Iohun is meene that the seied fee be ȝouun to me, and his preier is also meene that the same seid fee is ȝouun to me," as schewith the vije. reule.
