Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:
A trewe word is, and of þese thingis Y wole þat thou conferme oþere, þat þei þat bileuen to God, be bisy to be aboue oþere in good werkis. Þese thingis ben good, and profitable to men.
