A Maruelous tydynges both Wonders Old and New The Deuyll is endited yf many mens wordes be tru . IN all Christendom , Christes Godspell now is rad Of man , woman , and chyld , it maketh their harts glad Whiche with shamefull syns , before were full sad O wounders good tydynges , yf all sayinges be tru . It is rad so oft , and with soch diligence That no text is wrested , thorow raische negligence Playn declaracions , help moche to the true sense We all haue cause to reioyse , yf these tydyngs be tru . ❧ Now after Christes rule , all folk do lead theyr lyfe They abhor all chydyng , braulyng , fyghtyng , and stryfe Grete feruent charytie is betwyne man and wyfe No worse wordes then hony comb , sweet hart of gold , most tru . One neybur resorteth fryndly to an other As though all were kynsfolk , lyke brother and brother . Greter loue was neuer betwyne chyld and mother This world is no world , yf all tydynges be tru . ❧ It is rather lyke Heuyn , or pleasaunt Paradyse The folk be lyke Angels , discrete , sober , and wyse If one fall through fraylty , he repentyng more then twyse Ryseth styll a new man , a good Christian and tru . Folk fast , pray , and serue God , not Hipocritically ( Only to be seen of men , for folysh vayn glory ) But from the very hart , the Lord God to gloryfy Despysyng fond fantasyes , as false thynges , and not tru . Euery body now , in somtrade of lyuyng Doth labour for his foode , with trauell or swetyng Som dyggyng , som spynuyng , som wrytyng , som redyng Som geuyng good counsell , lyke honest folk and tru . ☞ They knowe that they must make , a rekenyng to God Of theyr dispensacion , they feere gretely Gods rod The ryche do helpe the poore , with rost meat or with sod None lye staruyng in Streets , yf all mens tonges be tr●… Great ryche men be afrayd , least they dye sodaynly Least theyre goods ( after them ) be spent in foolery Least God wyll call them fooles , therfore liberally They spend moche in theyr lyfe , vpon poore folk and tru . ❧ They be redy also , somwhat to prysons to send If any through frayltie , chaunse folyshly to offend But now Prisons be empty , the world doth so amende There be but .iiii. score and ten in kynges benche , it was tru ▪ Of them that be in pryson , som be tyed with clogges Som gnaw broun crustes of bred , son burnish boones lyke doggs Som wysh to fyll theyr gut●s , with catts , ratts , myse , or froggs Specyally this deere yere : Now ( they say ) they wyll be tru . ☞ How many be in Ludgate , and Neugate I can not tel But they that be abrode , be afrayd , I trust well And fall to wourk lustely , thorow theyr exampell They abhorre Clinkerum : They say they wyll be tru . A man may goo now , ouer fyns bery fy●…de Without sweard and buckler , without speare or shylde With an houndred poundes : as safe as with a nylde In a mysty mornyng , and by nyght , yf tales be tru . ✚ All England and Spayn , all Scotland , and Germany All Fraunce and Ireland , all Denmark and Hungary Be purged so ( I trust ) from vice and Idolatry That the Turk doth beghyn to thynk the Godspele tru . ❧ The Saracens and Iewes ( I trust ) do now conuert Moued with Godlynes that is in Christians harte They fere least Chrysts scourge wyll make theyr bones to smart I trust they receyue baptyme , and belyue the Godspell is tru . They hire it so discussed by calculacyon That Doomes day is at hand , yf mens speculacion In Astronomye be tru , the worldes transformacyon Wylbe within .x. yeres , straunge newes yf it be tru . ❧ I ( one of .xl. yeres ) thought to prouyde for age House for one and twenty yere , or som fat personage Som prebend , deanery , or som vicarage But now I pas not moche , yf Astronomers be tru . Yea whither Astronomers , be true eyther no Or that generall iugement be commyng to or fro This one thyng I kno sure , that I shall hence go . I kno nor day , nor ooure : Nothyng is more tru . ❧ And douteles , yf all men , wolde be of my mynde We wold som better way , for to lyue here out fynde Men shulde be set awurk , onlesse they were stark blynd Yea blynde shuld do somwhat , to kepe themselfe tru . Helthy folke lackyng wourk , shuld resorte to a place With theyr tooles and instrumentes ( as som vse to shew their face ) Then set awourk , or fed , ( of mens fauour and grace ) . With som comon purse , to kepe themselfs tru ❧ So that it shuld be a straunge thyng for to see Any theft or murder , euer committed to be As ( thankes be to God ) folk burne so in charytie That no knauery raigneth , yf all mens wordes be tru . The Deuyll hath ben a knaue , and hath kylde many men Yea both soule and body , moe perchaunse then ten Now he is endyted , as witnesseth my pen His Quest is empayneld , he is founde false , not tru .
