Sermos Imitadores de Cristo

26 Make we man to oure ymage and liknesse, and be he souereyn to the fischis of the see, and to the volatilis of heuene, and to vnresonable beestis of erthe, and to ech creature, and to ech crepynge beest, which is moued in erthe.

1 Therfor be ye foloweris of God, as moost dereworthe sones;

5 And fele ye this thing in you, which also in Crist Jhesu;

6 that whanne he was in the forme of God, demyde not raueyn, that hym silf were euene to God;

7 but he lowide hym silf, takinge the forme of a seruaunt, and was maad in to the licknesse of men, and in abite was foundun as a man.

8 He mekide hym silf, and was maad obedient to the deth, yhe, to the deth of the cross.

6 and ye ben maad foleweris of vs, and of the Lord, resseyuynge the word in myche tribulacioun, with ioye of the Hooli Goost;

1 Be ye my foleweris, as Y am of Crist.
