William Langland

“ Biheld al the bulle,
And in two lynes it lay,
And noght a leef more,
And was writen right thus,
In witnesse of Truthe:
Et qui bona egerunt, ibunt in vitam eternam. [1]
Qui vero mala, in ignem eternum. ”

“ But if ye have gret nede;
For who so hath to buggen hym breed, 4650
The book bereth witnesse,
He hath y-nough that hath breed y-nough,
Though he have noght ellis.
Satis dives est, qui non indiget pane. ”

“ That pardon and penaunce
And preieres doon save
Soules that have synned
Seven sithes dedly;
Ac to truste to thise triennals,
Trewely me thynketh,
Is noght so siker for the soule,
Certes, as is Do-wel. ”
