Pretty sure that says behei3ten (can’t type the yogh on my phone), with the e written on top of the i as was often done. Regardless, since yogh is the orthographic equivalent of gh, it should be rather straightforward to figure out what beh(e)i3ten corresponds to.

I find that script hard to read so can't tell about how accurate the ascii is. I searched for a Middle English Dictionary and then tried your text on it and it gave no results. Then I tried other things for the 'y' in 'bihiyten': 'h', 'th', 'g', and then 'gh' which finally worked.
This is plausibly cognate with modern English 'behest'.
