As to a theeffe you came here351
with sword and staves and armerye
to take me in fowle manere
and end your wicked will.
In temple with you when I was aye,

but nowe is common tyme and daye357
your talent to fulfill.
Primus Judeus
Come, caytiffe, to Cayphas359
or thou shalt have a hard grace.
Trott upon a prowder pase,
thou vilde popelard.

Though Belzebubb and Sathanas363

both thy hand that thou hase
shalbe bounden hard.
