¶ God, that art shapere of al, Of slyme of erthe þou me wroȝt. Line 372 Wiþ þy blod principal, Wonderly þou haste vs boȝt. Þouȝ my body now rote smal, My soule to my body shal be broȝt. Line 376 Out of my graue, reyse me þou schal To lyues man, and fayle noȝt,

¶ Blod and boon, flesche and felle. Here my prayer: in parfitnesse Line 380 At domesday comaunde my soule to dwelle In Abrahamys bosum, in thy blisse, Whenne þou shalt delyuere me fram syȝt of helle. Þou breke þe ȝates of helle, ywisse, Line 384 Þou souȝtest helle in peynes felle, Ȝaf lyȝt to hem in grete bryȝtnesse.

¶ Alas, y may be schamed sore, At domesday stonde in drede; Line 388 I, to come so gret a Iuge byfore, And shewe forþ no good dede, Bote fardel of synnes gadred in store; Þe fendes redy my rolle to rede, Line 392 Þe countretayle to shewe, þe score, Þe leste steppe þat euere y ȝede.
