103. Comp. ‘Quant ileoc tremblerunt martir e confessur | Dites mei que ferunt pariurie e traitur,’ Guischart 319, 20. #þes wichen# in T may be a false division of words, or it may be a deliberate variation, meaning, these witches (#wicca#, #wicce#). 104. #hwi#: the other MSS. have the exclamation like T; a wei D; Awi M. The corruption in L has brought about the insertion of ⁊, which is also in D. ‘Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi,’ S. Matt. xxii. 14. 105. #wi hwi#: comp. ‘Wei hwi beo we uule on þisse wrecche world,’ OEH i. 33/36; ‘Wi qui þan mak we us sa kene,’ CM 23845. #to hwon#: to hwi D; hwi J. 107. #bi clepie#, accuse. D has biclepien, bitelle ⁊ deme. 108. All MSS. except L have temen or teme. For #he# J has hit, which is probably object of temen, the subject of schal being that of the preceding line. 110. #ȝere#, fully; OE. #geare#: the other MSS. have wel. For him J has, his þonk. 112. #bi seiþ#, declares; with #mest#, has most to say about it. Comp. ‘Seó wearð gebróht and besǽd þám cyninge,’ B-T. suppl. _s.v._ #besecgan#; ‘elch sinne þare him seluen biseið,’ OEH ii. 173/6. he seið e J; the others seiþ only; seit E. With #stille#, silent, comp. 135/105; ‘sedebit solitarius et tacebit, Me schal sitten him one ⁊ beon stille,’ AR 156/18. 114. #hal#: vnhol J. M has Þe man þat saiþ þat he is lame, himself he wot þe smerte. 115. ‘Igitur ex nostro iudicio iudicat nos Deus,’ Alcuin ii. 131. 116. J agrees with L, but E e have oðer with T, and D aider: all meaning, either death or life. 117. #com to monne#, was born; comp. 113/30. 118. The original is preserved in swilc hit si abóc jwriten e, as if it were written in a book; similarly E; J has Al so he hit iseye; D swich hit were on boc iwrite, | isien he sel hit þanne. #iþenchen#, remember: OE. #geþencan#. 119-121. Compare generally, ‘forðan ðe god ne besceawað na, hwilce we ær wæron, ac he besceawað, hwilce we beon, þonne we dælan sceolon sawle ⁊ lichaman. Þæt is to witanne, þæt god ne secð na þæs godan weorces angin, ac he secð þæne ænde, forðan ðe ælc man sceal beon demed be ðam geearnungum, þe he hæfð, þonne he of ðisum life hwyrfan sceal,’ AS. Hom., ed. Assmann, 149/138-43; Orm 111/3248-55. S. Bernard quotes as from Isidore, ‘Non iudicat Deus hominem de praeterita vita, sed de suo fine,’ Opera ii. 840: for further parallels see Alcuin ii. 141; Fecunda Ratis 4/8. 119. #efter#: in accordance with: comp. 119/80. 120. #suilch#, such as; comp. 34/80: swulc se E; swich se e; DM have iteald, iteld, estimated; J rewrites, Ah dom schal þolyen vych mon · after his endinge. 121. #ȝefe# is probably due to ȝeue in the next line; ȝif E e; ȝef M; yef J; ef D. The inversion in T is peculiar to it. e reads for the last half of the line ⁊ gód ȝíf gód ís þenne.
