Note 883 — XXI. RESULTS.
Reading edition
“Swiche preestes be the sones of Hely ... hem thinketh that they be free and have no juge, no more than hath a free boll, that taketh which cow that him liketh in the toun. So faren they by women; for right as on free boll is ynough for all a toun, right so is a wicked preest corruption ynough for all a parish, or for all a countree.”
