Understanding Our Infirmities

therefore when you see infirmities in us, you should reflect upon your own, and that would make you bear the more with us, and not be severe censurers of the failings of your magistrates.

Þærfore, when þu seest infirmitas on us, þu scealt gewendan to þinum agen, and þæt wuda þe mægen beoran mid us, and næs be swiðe hāwe censure of þara dæla of þynum ealdormenn.
