2 Lord, preue thou me, and asaie me; brenne thou my reynes, and myn herte.

proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum

3 For whi thi merci is bifor myn iyen; and Y pleside in thi treuthe.

quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus
