My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.
and seide, My lord þe kyng, þese men diden yuele alle thingis, what euer thingis þei diden ayens Jeremye, þe profete, sendynge hym in to þe lake, þat he die þere for hungur; for whi looues ben no more in þe citee.
