Why takest thow nat my syn away, Line 61 A, thow god of all goodnesse? And why also, as I the say, Dost nat awey my wykednesse? Line 64 Thow madest me of a clot of clay, That breketh ofte thorough brotylnesse. ffull brotyll I am, hit ys no nay; That maketh me ofte to do amysse. Line 68 But good Ihesu, I pray thys ffor thy grete benygnyte: Thy mercy, lorde, late me nat mys, But Parce michi, domine. Line 72

Ecce, nunc in puluere dormio; et si mane me quesieris, non subsistam.
Loo, in pouder I shall slepe, Line 73 ffor owte of poudere furst I cam, And into poudere must I crepe, ffor of that same kynde I am. Line 76 That I ne am pouder I may not threpe, ffor erthe I am, as was Adam; And nowe my pytte ys doluen depe. Though men me seke, ryght nought I am. Line 80 O thow, fader Abraham, ffor Mary loue, that mayde so fre, In whos blode thy son swamme, So Parce michi, domine. Line 84

TEdet animam meam vite mee; dimittam aduer|sum me eloquium meum; loquar in amari|tudine amime mee; dicam deo, "noli me condempnare; indica michi cur me ita iudices."
Hyt forthynketh my soule y-wys, Line 85 The lyfe that I haue lad alway; ffor now my speche ayenst me ys, Sothly my lyfe I shall dysplay. Line 88
