'Certes, lady,' quod I tho, 'of nothing me wondreth, sithen 60 thilke blisse so precious is and kyndly good, and wel is and worthy in kynde whan it is medled with love and reson, as ye toforn have declared. Why, anon as hye oon is spronge, why springeth nat the tother? And anon as the oon cometh, why receyveth nat the other? For every thing that is out of his kyndly place, by ful 65 appetyt ever cometh thiderward kyndely to drawe; and his kyndly being ther-to him constrayneth. And the kyndly stede of this blisse is in suche wil medled to +onbyde, and nedes in that it shulde have his kyndly being. Wherfore me thinketh, anon as that wil to be shewed and kid him profreth, thilke blisse shulde him 70 hye, thilk wil to receyve; or els kynde[s] of goodnesse worchen nat in hem as they shulde. Lo, be the sonne never so fer, ever it hath his kynde werching in erthe. Greet weight on hye on-lofte caried stinteth never til it come to +his resting-place. Waters to the see-ward ever ben they drawing. Thing that is light 75 blythly wil nat sinke, but ever ascendeth and upward draweth. Thus kynde in every thing his kyndly cours and his beinge-place sheweth. Wherfore +by kynde, on this good wil, anon as it were spronge, this blisse shulde thereon discende; her kynde[s] wolde, they dwelleden togider; and so have ye sayd your-selfe.' 80 'Certes,' quod she, 'thyne herte sitteth wonder sore, this blisse for to have; thyne herte is sore agreved that it tarieth so longe; and if thou durstest, as me thinketh by thyne wordes, this blisse woldest thou blame. But yet I saye, thilke blisse is kyndly good, and his kyndely place [is] in that wil to +onbyde. Never-the-later, 85 their comming togider, after kyndes ordinaunce, nat sodaynly may betyde; it muste abyde tyme, as kynde yeveth him leve. For if a man, as this wil medled gonne him shewe, and thilke blisse in haste folowed, so lightly comminge shulde lightly cause going. Longe tyme of thursting causeth drink to be the more 90 delicious whan it is atasted.' 'How is it,' quod I than, 'that so many blisses see I al day at myne eye, in the firste moment of a sight, with suche wil accorde? Ye, and yet other-whyle with wil assenteth, singulerly by him-selfe; there reson fayleth, traveyle was non; service had no tyme. This 95 is a queynt maner thing, how suche doing cometh aboute.'
