Whether it were

You dyd me neuer

But gaue me wordis

Procedynge from

¶ So when I was
naked and bare
Hauynge no clothes

then dyd you ſpare
'nd gaue me clothes
for backe and ſyde
So that I myght

But if you lackt
ſufficient
Then dyd you my
greate lacke lament.
Infyne, when I
was weake and ſycke
And had no conforte
aboute me
To come to me
you dyd not ſtycke
Mat. xxv.And ſuccour my
neceſſitie
And when it chaunced
me to be
In priſone and
could not get oute
To raunſome me
you went aboute.
¶ Then ſhall the iuſte

In vayne lorde we

If thou gaue vsus not

We coulde hauehave nought

Then ſhall Chriſte ſaye,

and dyd you fede
Wyth graynes and fruitis

And gaue you all thyngis

Into the ioyes

Bycauſe theyr hertes

To geue ſuch thyngis

Mankynde from peryle

Thus ſhall they lyue

In paradice

But to the wycked
Chriſt ſhall ſaye.
Auoyde frome me
