Piers Plowman, Passus 17
SPES: I am looking for the knight that gave me the commandments on Sinai; I have it here
WILL: Ohhh - is it sealed? Can I see it?
SPES: No - i am looking for him that has the seal; it's the Cross and Christendom; when it was sealed thus I knew Lucifer's days were numbered
WILL: Go on, let me see it so I know the commandments;
SPES: *brings out a piece of rock with some Latin on it - trans. love God & thy neighbour*
WILL: Is that it?
SPES: Yeah. If you live by it, the devil will leave you alone, and you'll not have to worry about dying; I've saved loads of folk with this, I'll have you know.
