An Anonymous Medieval English Quotation

How mow they thanne shryue that synne,
That seyn they haue no gylt therinne?
We Englys men theron shulde thinke.

(translation:)

How can anyone repent of any sin,
If he believes he is not guilty of it?
We Englishmen should really think about this matter.


(Translation by T.J.White)
