7 For þon we on þinum yrre ealle forwurdon, wæron on þinum hathige hearde gedrefde.
Ælcne man þu þreast for his agenre scylde and gedest þæt he aswint on his mode and wyrð swa tedre swa swa gangewifran nett, for þam byð ælc man gedrefed and abysgod on idlum sorgum and on ymbhogum.
forðon hi on ende yrre forgripeð and hi syþþan ne beoð samod ætgædere. Syððan hi wisslice witon, þætte wealdeð God ofer middangeard manna cynnes and ealra eac eorðan gemæru.
Hi heora dagena tid dædun idle and heora geara gancg eac unnytte.
Hwa ðæs soð me cann sæcgean ænig, hu þines yrres egsa standeð and seo micle miht?
For þam ðe ure dagas ealle geteorudun, and we on þinum yrre synt swiðe gewæhte.
