The Christian folk, that through the streetë went, In camë, for to wonder on this thing: And hastily they for the provost sent. He came anon withoutë tarrying, And heried 3828 Christ, that is of heaven king, And eke his mother, honour of mankind; And after that the Jewës let 3829 he bind.

With torment, and with shameful death each one The provost did 3830 these Jewës for to sterve 3831 That of this murder wist, and that anon; He wouldë no such cursedness observe; 3832 Evil shall have that evil will deserve; Therefore with horses wild he did them draw, And after that he hung them by the law.
