But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Certis Y haue herde of þee, þat thou maist interprete derk thingis, and vnbynde boundun thingis; þerfor if thou maist rede þe scripture, and schewe to me þe interpretyng þerof, thou schalt be clothid in purpur, and thou schalt haue a goldun bie aboute thi necke, and thou schalt be þe thridde prince in my rewme.
