| 1 | Therfor Y, an euene eldre man, and a witnesse of Cristis passiouns, which also am a comynere of that glorie, that schal be schewid in tyme to comynge; byseche ye the eldre men, |
| 2 | that ben among you, fede ye the flok of God, that is among you, and puruey ye, not as constreyned, but wilfulli, bi God; not for loue of foule wynnyng, |
| 3 | but wilfulli, nether as hauynge lordschip in the clergie, but that ye ben maad ensaumple of the floc, of wille. |
| 4 | And whanne the prince of scheepherdis schal appere, ye schulen resseyue the coroun of glorie, that may neuere fade. |
| 5 | Also, ye yonge men, be ye suget to eldre men, and alle schewe ye togidere mekenesse; for the Lord withstondith proude men, but he yyueth grace to meke men. |
| 6 | Therfor be ye mekid vndir the myyti hoond of God, that he reise you in the tyme of visitacioun, |
| 7 | and caste ye al youre bisynesse in to hym, for to hym is cure of you. |
| 8 | Be ye sobre, and wake ye, for youre aduersarie, the deuel, as a rorynge lioun goith aboute, sechinge whom he schal deuoure. |
| 9 | Whom ayenstonde ye, stronge in the feith, witynge that the same passioun is maad to thilke brithirhode of you, that is in the world. |
| 10 | And God of al grace, that clepide you in to his euerlastinge glorie, you suffrynge a litil, he schal performe, and schal conferme, and schal make sad. |
| 11 | To hym be glorie and lordschip, in to worldis of worldis. Amen. |
| 12 | Bi Siluan, feithful brother to you as Y deme, Y wroot schortli; bisechinge, and witnessinge that this is the very grace of God, in which ye stonden. |
| 13 | The chirche that is gaderid in Babiloyne, and Marcus, my sone, gretith you wel. |
| 14 | Grete ye wel togidere in hooli cos. Grace be to you alle that ben in Crist. Amen. |
