G.7.260KD.6.253 YetG.7.260: The form of the decorated capital <Y> is unusual, but since the word "yet" is elsewhere consistently spelled with
initial <y> it seems likely that this, rather than, say, a capital <I> must be the letter here. I prey you quod pyresG.7.260: The <r> of pyres appears to have been added in the wrong place. See, however, G.14.240. par charyte yff youG.7.260: G's reading you could conceivably be a misreading of þou, as F, but it may also be an alternative form of the nominative plural, ie. equivalent to ȝe, which is the reading of the remaining B manuscripts. See note to G.2.180. can
