9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
2Heelful sacrifice is to take heede to the comaundementis, and to departe fro al wickidnesse.
3And to offre the plesyng of sacrifice for vnriytfulnesses, and bisechyng for synnes, is to go awey fro vnriytfulnesse.
4He that offrith purest flour of wheete, schal yelde grace; and he that doith merci, offrith a sacrifice.
5It is wel plesaunt to the Lord, to go awei fro wickidnesse; and preier is to go awei fro vnriytfulnesse.
6Thou schalt not appere voide bifore the siyt of God;
7for whi alle these thingis ben doon for the heestis of God.
8The offryng of a iust man makith fat the auter, and is odour of swetnesse in the siyt of the hiyeste.
9The sacrifice of a iust man is acceptable, and the Lord schal not foryete the mynde of hym.
10With good wille yelde thou glorie to God, and make thou not lesse the firste fruytis of thin hondis.
11In ech yifte make glad thi cheer, and in ful out ioiyng halewe thi tithis.
12Yyue thou to the hiyeste aftir his yifte; and with good iye make thou the fyndyng of thin hondis.
13For whi the Lord is a yeldere, and he schal yelde seuene fold so myche to thee.
14Nyle thou offre schrewid yiftis; for he schal not resseyue tho.
15And nyle thou biholde an vniust sacrifice; for the Lord is iuge, and glorie of persoone is not at hym.
16The Lord schal not take a persoone ayens a pore man; and he schal here the preier of hym that is hirt.
17He schal not dispise the preyeris of a fadirles child, nether a widewe, if sche schedith out speche of weilyng.
18Whether the teeris of a widew goen not doun to the cheke, and the criyng of hir on hym that ledith forth tho teeris?
19For whi tho stien fro the cheke `til to heuene, and the Lord herere schal not delite in tho.
20He that worschipith God in delityng, schal be resseyued; and his preyer schal neiye `til to the clowdis.
21The preier of hym that mekith hym silf schal perse clowdis, and til it neiyeth, he schal not be coumfortid, and he schal not go awey, til the hiyeste biholde.
22And the Lord schal not be fer, but he schal iuge iust men, and schal make doom; and the strongeste schal not haue pacience in tho, that he troble the bak of hem.
23And he schal yelde veniaunce to folkis, til he take awei the fulnesse of proude men, and troble togidere the ceptris of wickid men;
24til he yelde to men aftir her dedis, and aftir the werkis of Adam, and aftir the presumpcioun of hym;
25til he deme the dome of his puple, and schal delite iust men in his merci.
26The merci of God is fair in the tyme of tribulacioun, as clowdis of reyn in the tyme of drynesse.
