What profyte is to take thy pardon,

Shewe vs what mede is to come

To be in this fraternyte?

Syr this pardon is newe founde

By syde London brydge in a holy grounde,
Late called the stewes banke.

Ye knowe well all, that there was
Some relygyous women in that place

To whome men offred many a franke,

And bycause they were so kynde and lyberall,
A merueylous auenture there is be fall;
Yf ye lyst to here how.

There came suche a winde fro wynchester
That blewe these women ouer the ryuer,

In wherye, as I wyll you tell.

Some at saynt Kateryns stroke a grounde,
And many in holborne were founde;

Some at saynt Gyles, I trowe,

Also in aue maria aly, and at westmenster,

And some in shordyche drewe theder

With grete lamentacyon.

And by cause they haue lost that fayre place,
They wyll bylde at colman hedge in space
A nother noble mansyon,

Fayrer and euer the halfe strete was,

For euery house newe paued is with gras:
Shall be full of fayre floures,

The walles shallbe of hauthorne, I wote well,

And hanged wt whyte motly yt swete doth smell, Grene shall be the coloures.

And as for this olde place, these wenches holy
They wyll not haue it called the stewys for foly,
But maketh it a strabery banke;

And there is yet a chapell saue
Of whiche ye all the pardon haue,
The saynt is of symme trollanke.
I wyll reherse here in generall
The indulgences that ye haue shall,
Is these that foloweth, with more:
At the oure of deth whan ye haue nede,
Ye shall be assoyled of euery good dede,
That you haue done before;

And

And also ferthermore,

At euery tauerne in the yere,

A solempne dyryge is songe there,

With a grete drynkynge;

At all ale houses trewely,

Ye shall be prayed for hertely

With a Ioyefull wepynge.

And the pope darlaye hath graūted in his byll,

That

euery brother may do what he wyll,

Whyle that they be wakynge;

And the pardone gyueth you that hath the pose,
On your owne sleue to wype your nose,

Without rebuke takynge.

Also pope nycoll graunteth you all in this texte,

The coughe and the colyke, the gout and the flyxe, With the holsome tothe ache.

Also it is graunted by our bulles of lede,

That whan ony brother is dede

To the chyrche dogges shall cary hym;

A ryche pal to ly on ye corse late fro rome is come, Made of an olde payre of blewe medly popley hosone. For ye worshyppe of all ye bretherne

Theyr knylles shall be rōge in ye myddes of tese,

And sawe the stretes all ouer sprede
