Do ryȝtwys dede, out and ynne, Loke þy werkys be euene wrouȝt; Do almes and penaunce, and leue þy synne: Wiþ þese þre loue is bouȝt." Line 96

¶ God spekeþ to man, and lerneþ lore, Þe comaundementis and þe Crede. "Ȝeue me þy loue, y aske no more, Wiþ al þy herte, in loue and drede. Line 100 And þou nylt ȝeue it me, warne me byfore; Sette pris to selle it; loue and bede, I wole ȝeue the myself þerfore. Where myȝtest þou haue a beter mede? Line 104
(14)
¶ And þou nelt ȝeue ne selle it me, Aȝens me þou wilt debate, Þan wil y gon away fro þe, And ȝelde to þe hate for hate. Line 108 My face wiþ loue shalt þou not se, But steke þe wiþoute heuene ȝate, Fro alle vertues and charyte, Wiþ helle houndes, in endeles date. Line 112
(15)
¶ Haue y þy loue, so may þou quyte I mad þe lik ymage to me; And ȝif þe þenke þat was to lyte, Þanne þenk, y dyed on rode tre. Line 116 Þouȝ þou trespas, y do not smyte, But byd ȝif þou wilt mendid be. And þou be lost, whom wiltow wyte? Is it long on me or þe? Line 120
(16)
¶ Discrecioun of ȝong and old Of alle þynge nouȝt ouȝte. Of alle þat may be bouȝt and sold, Loue for loue is euenest bouȝte. Line 124
