From Ebron men gon to Bethelem, in half a day, for it is but 5 myle; and it is fulle fayre weye, be pleynes and wodes fulle deletable. Betheleem is a litylle cytee, long and narwe and 5 well walled, and in eche syde enclosed with gode dyches, and it was wont to ben cleped Effrata, as holy wrytt seythe. Ecce audivimus eum in Effrata; that is to seye, Lo, wee herde him in Effrata. And toward the est ende of the cytee, is a fulle fair chirche and a gracyouse, and it hathe many toures, pynacles and corneres, fulle stronge and curiously made, and within that chirche ben 44 pyleres of marble, grete and faire. And betwene the cytee and the 10 chirche is the felde Floridus, that is to seyne, the feld florisched; for als moche as a fayre mayden was blamed with wrong, and sclaundred, that sche hadde don fornycacioun, for whiche cause sche was demed to the dethe, and to be brent in that place, to the whiche sche was ladd.
