An ancient text

Ço fo à dir: e' non hay mia ço fait, mas tu qui me donest la fémena. Or dis nostre Seinyor: "Tu di' que eu t'hay fait pequer, e eu troveray art e engeig per que tu seyes delivré del pecá. Or t'en torneras là dun e' te fis, car ben est dreit e justisia que zo que e' fis abia la penitentia e espeneiça ço que e' contradis." Or Seinyor frere, vardem que noi no siam engignay, sí cum to lo nostre premer pare Adam; mas sí prenem ixemple del segunt Adam, ço est nostre Seinyor Jesus Christ, qui venqué lo diavol.
