For synguler wynnyng to his astate,
Lede his men, oþere to sloo:
He shal be blessed neuere or late;
His werkis curseþ hym, where he go.
Line 96

¶ The clene of herte, blissed be,
Þat lyueþ after goddis lore.
God hym self he shal see,
Þere as blisse is euere more;
Line 100
And gouerneþ wel his owen degre,
And doþ þe dede þat he come fore;
Fulfylleþ þe werkis of charyte:
His vertue gadereth mede in store.
Line 104

¶ The herte þat is fyled in synne,
And sulpeþ his soule wiþ spottes of blame,
Goddis curs he doþ wynne,
Þat spyseþ hym-self and goddis name.
Line 108
His astate, he nele not dwelle þerynne;
To serue god hym þenkeþ shame.
Ȝif god and he departe o twynne,
In helle he may be meked tame.
Line 112

¶ That is pursued [[MS. presued]] for riȝtwisnes
Is blessid, where he go or ryde;
Þe kyngdom of heuene is his,
Þat querell to ende, in charite byde.
Line 116
God wole brynge hym to heuene blis,
And fro his enemys þere wole hym hyde; [Nota]
And þo þat pursue hym with mys,
To helle þey ben here awen gyde.
Line 120

¶ Thanne are they cursed in here lyf,
Þat auaunceþ þe fals, and stroyeþ þe trewe,
Mayntene fals querell and stryf,
Riȝtwis men wrongly pursue,
