fol. 2v

Though he bare diademe Imperiall
[y]it was hym self a verrey cursed man.
so cruelly he gan to regne than
he slough his modre. and his maistre bothe
and moche he did that I ne telle can
who so hath hit red he knoweþ wele þe sothe
¶ The chief of holy cherche he slough also
seint Poule and Petre both upon a day
and after hem ful many other mo
and of hym self hit is I dar wele say.
That Poule writeth þus it is no nay
and weith now is þe fourme of wickidnesse
And figure right of Antecristes lay
In whom shall be alle maner cursidnesse
¶ For þei þat trewly teche cristes lore
to make men forsake her vice
Antecrist wole pursewe hem þer fore
and all þis prechyng sette at no price
so was he yeven to lustes and desire
In what desire þat come to his þought
he wolde hit do wiþ oute more avice
For no þinge þere of spare wolde he nought
¶ And he þat wolde a[g]en his vices speke
counceilynge hym his vices to refreyne.
wi[th] oute more anone he wolde be wreke
he wolde hym put in torment and in peyne
and he þat wolde his lustes ought wiþ seyne
he was but dede yf þat he wolde apere
For suche a cause Boecius was slayne
of whom þis processe after techeþ here.
