"Þe fourþe synne ys more perylous, With man and womman relygyus; Ȝyf þey haue made professyoun Boþe vn-to relygyoun, Moche ys to chargë þat folye Ȝyf þey to-gedyr do leccherye. Relygyous man also ys to blame, Þat yn þe wurlde takeþ a foule fame, For he may kepe hym weyl þerfro, Alonë þar hym neuer go."
