wherof

And
therfore
seith
Seynt

called

The

Ther

that
so

reuoketh
and
calleth
a

Remembraunce

Certeyn
it

The

I
Seye
that
recordyng
the
Remembraunce
of

maketh
a
man
to
be
meke
and
humble
hym self
And
therfor
seyth
.
seint
Austyn
.
in
the
booke
that
he
made
of
our
lord
.
A
man
knowyng
hym self
to
be
mortall
/
it
shal
put
from
hym
al
maner
of
pryde
.
In
very
trouthe
all
our
other
thinges
as
wel
good
as
hadde
/
be
incerteyne
.
But
of
deth
only
we
may
be
wel
ensured
.
And
how
be
it
that
the
hour
therof
is
to
vs
hidde
and
incerteyn̄
Yet
alwey
she
is
approchyng
and
shal
surely
come
without
longe
taryeng
.
And
to
this
purpose
seith
Ecclesiastes
in
his
xiijj
chapitre
.
Bere
wel
in
remembraunce
that
deth
shal
not
tary
It
is
also
writen
in
Toby
that
deth
hasteth
and
that
ther
may
no
fleyng
auayle
.
Also
by
the
comune
lawe
of
nature
euery
man
muste
paye
his
mortal
tribute
Seynt
Bernard
.
seyth
in
a
sermon̄
.
O
wretchid
man
whi
dost
thou
not
dispose
thi
self
to
be
redy
at
al
houres
think
that
thou
art
now
dede
/
syns
thou
knowest
wele
that
necessarily
it
behoueth
the

.
Remembre
wele
how
thyn
eyen
shal
torne
in
thy
hede
and
the
veynes
breke
in
thy
body
▪
and
thyn
herte
shal
deuide
in
two
partis
by
the
right
sharpe
angwissh
and
payne
of
deth
.
Who
is
he
thenne
that
ought
not
to
drede
and
make
hym self
humble
.
Whan
he
knoweth
certaynly
that
he
must
retorne
and
become
erthe
Now
truly
ther
shal
be
none
excepcion
of
persones
.
But
al
shal
passe
that
weye
.
For
as
it
is
w●eton
in
the
seconde
〈◊〉
of
kynges
.
Whe
shal
al
dye
/
and
the
erthe
shal
●●●low●

/
as
it
doth
water
cast
therupon
/
whiche
neuer

.
We
rede
also
that
this
worde
.
Mors
in
〈◊〉
may
wele
so
be
called
.
For
it
is
a
bitter
morsel
vnto
alle
men
in
so
moche
as
no
creature
may
escape
it
.
And
therfore
it
is
said
in
the
book
of
dispraysyng
of
the
world
●eth
cutteth
doun
and
distroieth
all
thinges
create
and
made
in
flessh
.
She
bothe
beteth
doun
the
hye
men
and
low●●
for
she
hath
dominacion
vpon
wordly
lyuyng
thingis
.
She
regneth
Imperially
ouer
the
nobles
and
dredeth
no
lyuyng
creature
/
for
her
power
is
comyn
ouer
princes
and
dukes
.
She
taketh
aswel
the
yonge
as
the
olde
And
whan
she
smytes
/
she
hath
mercy
of
no
creature
Alle
thinges
create
in
flessh
perissheth
vnder
her
honde
Nor
ther
be
none
so
strong
/
but
that
she
beteth
them
doun
without
rescuse
.
And
ther
is
no
thyng
beryng
lyf
but
that
she
distroyeth
and
wasteth
it
without
ony
escape
And
she
neither
taketh
mede
Allyaunce
ne
frendship
What
shal
I
more
seye
/
euydently
dethe
spareth
no
body
For
nether
poure
ne
riche
shal
mowe
escape
out
of
her
cheyne
.
Certeynly
I
vndrestande
nowe
that
dethe
is
th
ende
of
alle
worldly
lyuyng
thinges
.
And
therfor
it
is
writon̄
in
Ietha
the
poete
.
That
dethe
taketh
awaye
and
doth
anyntise
all
quyk
thinges
.
Lo
is
it
not
seide
that
the
wise
Cathon
and
the
good
Socrates

dede

Whiche
geuith
example
/
that
ther
is
neyther
science
ne
doctrine
that
may
preserue
one
fro
the
ruynous
darte
of

.
It
is
writen
in
Ecclesiastes
in
the
secunde
chapitre
.
Aswel
dyeth
the
wyse
man
as
the
fole
.
It
is
writon
in
Isaye
in

.
Where

Where
ben

Where

These

Now

I

Wher

Where

Where

Where

&
where

Uirgile

.
he
not
al
these
dede
&
passed
out
of
this
worlde
as
pilgryms
&
gestes
/
and
departed
hens
in
a
right
short
space
:
yes
certeynly
/
ther
is
not
one
lefte
a
lyue
of
them
/
alle
their
ioyes
were
but
vanitees
&
ar
fayled
&
their
dayes
be
consumed
&
passed
And
as
the
psalter
seith
man
passed
his
dayes
resembling
a
shadewe
&
one
tyme
he
is
hole
and
stronge
of
al
his

and
on
the

seke
/
&
leyde
in

.
And
as
.
Cathon
seith
our
lyf
is
geuen
vnto
us
to
be
ful
of
doubte
and
of
fragilite
This
appereth
also
clerly
by
a
philosophre
named
Secundus
whom
th
emperour
Adrian̄
questioned
with
of
the
beyng
&
the
state
of
man
.
Whiche
answerd
as
foloweth
.
Man
is
subgette
vnto
deth
Oost
of
the
place
where
he
is
/
a
voyager
passyng
/
semblably
vnto
a
pece
of
snowe
.
Also
like
a
rede
bery
and
like
a
newe
apple
by
whiche
thinge
is
euidently
shewid
/
how
frayle
/
how
sleder
.
and
also
how
lytil
enduryng
is
the
lyf
of
a
man
And
not
only
the
lyf
of
poure
peple
.
But
also
the
lyf
of
alle
humayn
creatures
be
they
neuer
so
riche
or
puyssaunt
.
For
deth
is
a
comyn
thinge
and
spareth
no
body
.
And
all
be
it
she
is
cruwel
and
peruers
/
yet
she
kepeth
egally
one
lawe
in
takyng
as
wel
kynges
&
prynces
as
poure
folkis
.
Thus
geueth
she
grete
cause
to
wepe
yf
it
be
wel
red
and
taken
that
is
wreton
of
her
.
And
therfor
seith
Iob
in
the
xx
chapitre
of
hys
book
of
the
riche
fiers
&
orgulous
man
.
Al
though
his
pride
be
inhaunsed
vnto
the
skye
that
his
hede
shold
touche
the
clowdes
/
Yet
in
th
ende
he
shal
torne
to
nought
and
be
like
a
donghill
.
And
they
that
haue
seen
hym
shal
axe
wher
is
he
now
and
no
thing
shal
be
founde
of
hym
/
no
more
than
of
a
fleyng
dreme
passed
in
the
nyght
.

The
lyf
of
of
puissant
lordship
is
right
brief
For
this
day
this
man
is
a
kyng
/
and
to
morow
he
is
dede
/
of
suche
akynge
is
red
in
the
seconde
chapitre
of
the
first
boke
of
Machabees
how
his
glorie
is
a
foul
donghil
and
as
vile
as
a
worme
he
is
to
day
enhaunsed
:
and
to
morow
ther
is
no
thing
to
be
founde
of
hym
.
We
haue
an
example
accordyng
of
one
of
the
hyghest
and
moost
excellent
prince
of
this
world
That
is
to
wete
Alexandre
the
grete
kyng
of
Macedone
that
subdewed
vnto
his
obeisance
the
vniuersal
world
in
suche
maner
.
that
he
was
demed
to
be
only
lord
of
the
erth
.
And
it
is
redde
that
this
Alexandre
the
grete
somtyme
kyng
of
Grece
obteigned
many
uictories
in
many
straunge
londes
.
And
in
his
goyng
by
diuerse
regions
subdeued
vnto
his
Iurisdiction
al
the
world
And
in
another
place
is
red
of
hym
that
he
was
kyng
of
kynges
/
and
that
he
sawe
al
realmes
subget
vnto
hym
wherby
the
wis
of
his
renomme
and
fortune
made
an
hole
monarche
.
That
is
to
sey
an
hole
Empire
of
al
the
world
For
it
was
ones
al
bonde
and
subget
vnto
hym
without
disobeissaunce
.
And
so
he
was
grettest
of
al
the
large
world
.
But
what
thing
therof
ensued
.
After
he
hadde
tryumphantly
goten
the
only
empire
of
the
vniuersal
world
/
was
not
that
the
stablenesse
of
regne
/
the
ꝑpetuite
of
myght
the
helth
of
his
body
/
and
the
longe
enduryng
of
his
lyf
naturall
:
Certeynly
no.
But
he
was
subdewed
by
the
same
thing
that
is
comune
vnto
al.
That
is
to
wete
Deth
Whiche
is
the
last
recourse
after
al
fortune
and
destenyes
.
Than
myght
Alexandre
we
le
say
atte
●ou●
of
his
deth
as
.
Iob.
seyde
in
the
xvj
chapitre
of
his
book
.
I
am
he
that
somtyme
was
riche
and
myghty
.
and
sodenly
am
beten
doun
/
for
he
obteyned
only
his
Empyre
.
But
onely
by
the
space
of
xij
yeres
.
And
therfor
it
is
writen
of
hym
in
an
other
place
.
That
he
regned
/
and
was
obeyed
xij
yeres
.
And
after
that
he
was
subget
vnto
deth
/
of
whom
liueth
yet
the
renomme
&
cannot
dye
.
Semblably
compleynyng
hym self
of
the
deth
he
myght
seye
as
is
writen
in
Iob
the
xix
chapitre
.
My
glorie
hath
dispoiled
me
/
and
hath
taken
awey
the
crowne
fro
my
hede
/
she
hath
also
vtterly
destroyed
me
/
wherthurgh
I
am
lost
.
Lo
howe
it
appereth
manifestly
herby
/
that
deth
is
th
ende
of
all
men
.
And
also
that
howe
be
it
.
Iulius
cesar
hadde
al
the
worlde
vnder
his
Empyre
/
Yet
his
glorie
fayled
hym
and
rested
lorde
but
of
a
tombe
of
viij
fote
longe
.
Wherby
it
semeth
that
the
mageste
roial
al
worldly
puissance
al
prosperous
thinges
/
and
the
ordinaunce
of
dayes
:
passe
brefly
from
man
without
tariyng
when
the
hour
of
deth
is
comyn
▪
And
therfor
seith
an
other
poete
If
thou
be
wise
thy
wisdom̄
departeth
with
thy
deth
.
If
thou
be
haboundant
in
richesse
:
it
leueth
the
at
thy
deth
.
If
thou
be
a
prudent
man
:
thy
prudence
finissheth
with
thy
deth
.
If
thou
be
honest
:
by
deth
it
is
taken
from
the.
If
thou
be
strong
thy
myght
faylleth
the
by
deth
.
Certeynly
thenne
I
nowe
know
that
the
yeres
that
passe
/
taketh
from
vs
al
thinges
Wherfor
then
if
thou
be
riche
strong
or
feyre
/
what
wileth
it
.
If
thou
be
a
bisshop
a

If

be
a

myghty

/
If
thou
be
a

/
what
vayleth

.
All
passeth
right
hastely
without
longe
tariyng
/
And
here
resteth
but
oonly
the
merites
.
wherof
the
good

to
be

And
therfor
seide
Isidor
in
an

My
right
welbeloued
brethren̄
/
we
ought
to
thinke
how
breef
and
shorte
is
the
worldly
felicite
/
how
litle
is
the
glorie
of
this
world
/
and
howe
frayle
and
faylyng
is
the
temporal
myght
therof
And
therfor
euery
man
may
sey

Where
be
the
kinges
where
be
the
princes
/
where
be
the
emperours
.
where
be
the
riche
&
myghty
men
of
this
world
:
they
be
al
post
like
a
shadewe
/
and
vanyssed
like
a
dreme
of
the
nyght
.
for
though
one
wolde
seke
them
they
wil
not
be

here
.
what
shal
I
more
sey

the
kynges
be
passed
&
the
princes
be
dede
/
neuerthelesse
ther
be
many
that
wenen
to
lyue
long
&
neuer
to

But
alweys
to
rest
in
this

lyf
.
Certeynly
they
be
fol●
.
For
it
shal
not
be
so
.
But
they
shal
dye
as
other
princes
&
men
haue
doon
.
For
as
Senek
seith
in
his

to
Lucyt

The
issewe
of
this
present
lyf
is
deth
It
is
wreton
by
a
poete
named
Ieta
.
The
deth
vndoeth
al
liuyng
thing
.
and
euery
lif
fynysseth
by

.
Certeyn
the
worldly
deth
concludeth
all
the
vayn
felicitees
of
men
For
if
thou
did
preche
the
feith
of
Abraham
.
The

of
Ioseph
The
charite
of
Moyses
.
The

The

of

The

The

The

And
in

of

:
the

wolde
shewe
that
ther
is
but
one
conclusion̄
.
That
is
the
sey

.
Here
it
appereth
right
manifestly
by
the
thing
aforsayd
.
that
beaute
lynage
condicyons
witte
richesse
nor

can
not
kepe
a

/
but
that
he
must
stumble
&
fall
&
retorne
to
asshes
for
al
thing
that
is
engendred
.
renneth
alwey
toward
his
deth
.
Ouide
seith
that
al
thing
that
is
engendred
asketh
and
requireth
to
come
agayn
to
their
vniuersal
modre
That
is
to
seye
the
erthe
.
For
all
that
hath
been
and
past
afore
/
may
be
resembled
to
a
rennyng
riuer
.
Semblably
I
fele
it
by
my self
wretche
,
that
am
brought
al
moost
to
no
thyng
,
and
haue
not
knowen
hit
/
for
my

be
past
fro
me
litle
,
and
litle
as
a
shadowe
.
and
I
am
dried
as
the
wydered
hey
.
Certeynly
we
be
no
thing
but
powdre
.
Mennes
dayes
be
like
the
floures
in
a
medewe
And
them self
may
be
likened
to
the
heye
.
Now
auise
the
thenne
.
for
man
is
a
thyng
that
endureth
but
short
space
and
is
of
resemblance
to
the
floure
,
that
groweth
in
the
medowe
.
It
is
writen
in
Isaye
the
xl
chapitre
.
All
humayn
flesshe
is
heye
/
and
his
glory
like
the
floures
of
the
felde
.
Verely
al
peple
be
hey
/
and
all
hey
drieth
and
wydereth
,
as
the
floure
that
is
fallyn̄
.
But
the
worde
of
our
lorde
remayneth
and
is
perdurable
.
Wherfor
then
doth
a
man
set
hym self
in
pompe
&
pride
beyng
like
the
widered
heye
of
felde
.
It
is
writon
by
Innocent
in
the
boke
of
our
miserabill
condicion
.
That
humayn
flessh
is
the
vessell
of
filth
,
and
a
vessell
of
teres
,
a
drye
thouht
,
a
stinkyng
sakke
.
The
lif
of
the
flesshe
is
labour
/
The
concepcion̄
of
the
flesshe
is
but
filthe
/
The
ende
therof
is
rotynnesse
.
And
the
birthe
is
but
vyle
.
It
was
first
a
sparme
.
That
is
to
seye
.
The
seed
of
man
/
and
nowe
it
is
a
stinkyng
sakke
.
And
after
finally
shal
be
wormes
mete
in
the
erthe
.
Nowe
wherfor
shulde
a
man
then
be
prowde
.
Seint
Bernard

in
his
booke
of
Meditacions
.
Wherfor
shulde
a
man
wexe
prowde
sithen
the
concepcion
of

is
in

And
of
all
the

the

and
necessarily
al
must
dye
.
And
after
deth
turne
to
wormes
,
And
after
wormes
to
filth
and
stenche
.
Lo
thus
finally
euery
man
is
clerely
conuerted
and
turned
out
of
all
humanyte
.
Considre

the
begynnyng

And
thou

Now
what

what
thynkest
thou

what

It

The

It

Howe
long

ther
was
ryght
a

philosophre
that
hoolly
abandoned

Whiche
in

was
seyde
in
the
ende
he
is
dede

As
is
wreton
in
Genesis

in

Thenne
he
thought
in

that
semblably
deth
shulde
happen
vnto
hym
as
it
did
vnto

.
for
he
was

And
hastely
he
entred

And
from

Beholde
nowe

see
howe

To
this
purpose

Promitte

As
is
wreton
in
the
seconde
epistle
of
seynt
Petre.
in
the
first
chapitre

Thynke
thenne
that
thou
art
dede
:
when
thou
knowest
necessarily
that
after
a

thou
art
certeyn
to

.
Therfor
disprayse
al
transitory
thynges
that
must
be
hastly
lefte
/
as
is
to
sey
without
ony
tariyng
though
it
to

The
poete
telleth
that

/
rentis
of

the
byldyng
of

the

Yet
shal
all

be

passe
and
be
lost

and
no

therof

By
thies

may
be
seen
that
in
this
present
lyf
is
no
thing
stable

whiche
ought

Therfore
writeth
Ecclesiastes

and
all

not

Hit

appere
by
thies

howe
Remembraunce
of

induce
a

to
do
penaunce

It
is
redde
of
a
felonous

a
cruell
knyght

whiche
wolde
neuer
accept

enioyned

Alexandre
And
atte

gaue
hym

that
he
shulde
bere
hit
on

:
by
wey
of
penaunce

And
as
often
as
he
behelde
hit
to
thinke
on
his

And
whan
he
hadde
born
hit
a
space
of

with
that
Remembraunce
on
a

he
come
ageyn
to

he
was
redy
to
shrine
hym

&
to
fulfill
eny

that

wolde
enioyne

It
is
red
of
an
other

that
in
like
wise
wolde
do
noo
penaunce

&
atte
last
his

enioyned

And
as
this
was
a

contynued
,
because
of
that
Remembraunce
/
alle

ete
turned
hym
to

And
thenne
he
called

seiyng

was
redy
to

obeye
ony

For

Lo

howe
Remembraunce

causeth
a

to
dispise
alle

&
acceptably
take

And

THe

doutable
:
is
the
terrible
sentence
that
thenne
shal
be
pronounced
by
the
Iugement
of
god
the
rightful
iuge
.
This
sentence
shal
be
terrible
&
fereful
/
and
specially
for
in
thingys
.
The
first
is
the
doute
&
the
incerteynte
of
the
sentence
.
for
ther
is
no
man
sure
whether
it
shal
be
youen
with
hym
or
ayenst
hym
.
And
as
it
is
writon
in
Ecclesiastes
the
ix
chapitre
.
They
be
Iust
and
wyse
/
and
their
werkes
be
in
the

of

how
be
it
ther
is
no

whether

and
al

To

I

/
Wherfor

seide
vnto
hym
/
Then
thou
dredest

Vnto
whom
he
answered
.
Though
I
haue
kept
the
commaundementes
of
our

as
vertuosly
as
to
me
was
possible
:
yet
I
am
a

&
wot
not
whether
my

be
agreable
vnto
hym
for
the
domes
of
our

then

that

That
/
that

Iustice
:
we
le
examyned

:
is
often
inuistice

And
therfor
it
is
writen
in

Prouerbes
of

.
Ther

And

Agathon
counterpoisyng
in

all

aforseyd

al
be

/
Yet
alwey

It

The

Lo

haue
dead
this
last
day
of
iugement
for
the
nowne
certeyn
of
the
doutfull
sentences
that
there
shal
be
geuen
.
Now
certeynly
it
is
a
thing
which
of

ought
timerously
to

It
is
writen
in

not

Nowe

As

There

And

Our

And

In

Certeynly

And
therfor

Ancelme
in

On

This

Alas

It

thenne
impossible
to

them
.
It
shal
be
an
intollerable
dredeful
thing
to
appere
in
that

.
The
seyd
sentence
is
more
fereful
and
daungerous
/
be
cause
it
iugeth
not
oonly
the
body
.
but
also
it
condempneth
the

To
that
purpose
is
ther
red
an
example
.
how
that
ther
was
somtyme
ij
brethren̄
/
wherof
the
oon
was
a
fole

ignorant

and
the
other
was
wise

which
went
to gedres
in
a
weye
/
and
as
they
walked
/
they
come
atte
last
to
a
forked
wey
:
whiche
ledde
to
sondry
places
Wherof
the
oon
was
fayer
and
pleasaunt
/
and
the
other
sharpe
&
no

inhabited

And
when
the
fole
sawe
the
faier

delectable
weye
/
he
seid
.
Brother
go

Thenne
the
wise
brother
answered
.
I
knowe
wel
that
this
wey
whiche
thou
wilt
lede
vs
is
fayer
&
delectable
/
but
nathele●
in
the
ende
it
wil
bryng
us
to
right
an
euell
logyng
And
therfor
I
counseil
that
we
take
the
other
wey
.
For
al
be
hit
that
it
be
sharpe
and
not
inhabited
/
finally
it
wil
being
vs
to
right
a
good
&
honest
harberough̄
and
full
of
rest
.
Wherunto
the
fole
answered
.
I
wil
rather
trust
myn
eye
in
that
I
see
/
than
thyn
in
that
thou
seest
not
/
And
so
sette
hym
●orthe
in
the
softe
and
delectabile
weye
Which
thing
the
wyse
brother
seyng
that
he
cowde
not
make
hym
relinquisshe
his
purpose
:
folowed
hym
.
And
whenne
they
hadde
goon
to gydre
a
litle
space
/
they
fortuned
anon
to
be
taken
with
soldeours
.
whiche
disseuerd
them
and
put
them
into
diuerse
prisones
.
Nowe
it
happened
that
the
kyng
of
that
contree
comaunded
on
a
day
/
that
all
prisoners
shulde
be
brought
afore
hym
that
he
myght
iuge
them
according
to
their
demerites
.
And
whenne
thies
two
brethren̄
came
afor
hym
/
and
echeon̄
knewe
other
.
the
wyse
brother
seyde
.
O
sir
kyng
and
our
Iuge
/
I
compleyne
me
greetly
of
this
man
my

/
for
as
we
went
to gydres
in
a
weye
he
beyng
reputed
a
fole
and
I
I wys
/
Yet
neuer theles
/
he
wolde
not
beleue
me
nor
go
after
me
the
good
weye
that
I
tough̄t
hym
/
but
hath
made
me
to
folowe
hym
in
the
euyll
weye
wherin
we
were
taken
/
and
so
he
is
gylty
of
my
dethe
.
And
to
the
contrarye
the
ignorant
fole
seide
to
the
same
kyng
.
Sir
I
haue
gretter
cause
and
strenger
Reason
to
compleyn
me
ageynst
my

.
for
where
he
ought
not
to
haue
beleued
me
nor
folowed
me
lightly
in
the
weye
/
which
he
knewe
wele
was
euyll
and
daungerous
for
&
he
wolde
not
a
folowed

:
I
wolde
haue
retourned
ageyn
&
folowed
hym
.
whereby
I
shulde
in
no

haue
fallen
in
this
daungier

and
therfore
he
is
verrey
gylty
of
my

Whenne
thies
wordes
were

on
eyther

The
kyng
pronounsed

gaf
a
sentence

seiyng
.
Thou
fole
thou
woldest
not
truste
thy
wyse
brother
/
and
thou
wyse
hast
folowed
this
fole
in
his
euyl
weyes
.
wherfore
ye
bothe
shal
be
hanged
&
condempned
to
dethe
.
Semblably
shal
it
be
at
the
daye
of
Iugement
in
the
consummacion
of
this
worlde
when
by
the
almyghty
power
of

the
sowle
of
euery
man

Iuge

they
shal
be
bothe
dampned
to gydre
in
the
last
extremite
of

For
this
cause
the
sentence
of
the
Iuge
is
called
a
swerde
with
two
edges
.
as
is
writen
in
th
apocalips
in
the
first

For
it
shal

The

Certeinly

Ther
is

an

whiche
agrogith
this
sentence
/
ther
is
no
place
to
apele
to
ony
other
/
nor
space

To
that
purpose
saith
the

How

is
named
by
holy
scripture
in
diuerse
wise
¶
The
first
chapitre
of
the
thirde
part
principal
IT
is
now
first
to
be
declared
principally
the
nominacion
of
the
peinful
places
of
hell
.
Wherfor
it
is
to
be
knowen
that
helle
is
a
place
full
of
fire
&
is
so
called
de
infero
infers
/
That
is
to
saye
to
bere
in
/
for
the
sowles
of
sinners

born
into
it
for
to
suffre
peine
ther
eternally
.
And
therfor
saith
Iob
in
his
vij
chapitre
.
He
that
shal
descende
into
hell
shal
not
come
ageyn
ne
euer
retorne
vnto
his

.
And
also
hell
is
oftentymes
called
gehenne
of
fire
.
The
forsaid
Seint
Gregory

of

.
Certeinely
it
must
be
beleud
that
there
is
oonly
but
oon
fire
in
the
gehen̄e
of
hell
but
it
tormenteth
not
all
sinners
after
oon
maner

for
euery
man

haue
payne
after
the
quantite
of
his

Isidorus
in

book
of

goodnesse
seith
that
the

helle
is
different
from
the
materiall
fire
principally
in
〈◊〉
thinges
.
First
in
fyersnesse
&
egernesse
fo●
the
power
of
it
in
brenning
is
infenite
.
wherfor
seith
seint
Sebastian̄
.
When̄
the
angel
of
heuen
rowned
hym
in
the
ere
.
he
seyde
that
our
sensible
fire
is
no
more
like
the
fire
of
hell
then
the
fire
peynted
vpon
a
wall
is
like
our
materiale
fire
.
Secundly
in
enduring
.
For
our
materiale
fir●
may
be
quenched
/
and
so
may
not
that
.
It
is
writen
in
Isay
in
the
last
chapitre
.
that
the
fire
for
sinners
shal
no●
be
quenched
.
Thridly
in
wasting
.
for
our
sensible
materiale
fire
may
consume
&
wast
al
thingis
as
the
philophre
seith
but
the
fire
infernal
may
not
wast
nor
consume
neither
the
body
nor
the
sowles
of
sinners
by
brennyng
.
Iob
sayth
in
his
xx
chapitre
of
the
synners
beyng
in
helle
.
He
shal
bye
full
dere
now
that
he
hath
doon
&
yet
he
shal
not
be
wasted
.
Iohn
Crisostom
saith
also
that
our
materiale
fire
consumeth
al
thing
that
is
leyd
in
hit
/
but
the
fire
of
hell
tourmenteth
continuelly
thoes
that
be
therin
/
&
yet
it
preserueth
them
alway
in
lengthyng
their
peines
.
Therfor
it
is
said
that
it
is
not
to
be
quenched
not
oonly
because
it
can
not
be
put
out
but
that
it
shal
not
sease
to
distroy
them
that
shal
come
therin
.
For
that
cause
saith
the
holy
scripture
that
the
sinner
shal
be
clothed
with
corrupcion
not
oonly
of
their
lif
but
in
languisshing
&
tormemendes
alway
com̄yng
.
Certeinly
no
voyce
coude
expowne
nor
no
word
coude
expresse
the
greetnes
of
the
peine
/
nor
the
feruentnes
of
that
fire
.
Alas
what
shal
we
do
therfor
there
/
&
what
shal
we
answere
for
in
hell
shal
be
but
grinding
of
tethe
/
yowling
/
criyng
/
&
weping
in
payne
/
but
thenne
penaunce
is
to
late
/
and
from
all
partes
shall
comforte
and
helpe
be
put
away
.
there
shal
be
no
thyng
but
augmentacions
of
peynes
.
as
that
fire
of
helle
is
not
of
nature
to
deuour
.
no
more
is
it
to
geue
no
comfortable
lyght
/
It
is
an
obscure
fire
/
and
the
flam̄
therof
tenebrous
.
Secundly
hell
is
called
locus
inquietus
that
is
to
sey
/
a
restles
place
euer
enduring
&
shal
neuer
haue
ende
.
wherfor
it
is
seide
in
this
lif
that
ther
is
one
place
which
is
alwey
stil.
that
is
to
wite
the
centre
of
the
skye
Other
be
somtyme
troubled
as
mene
partis
of
the
ayer
/
semblably
it
may
be
proued
that
the
lowest
parte
is
alweyes
in
trouble
without
rest
.
And
therfore
it
is
called
tartarus
For
after
papy
tartarus
is
as
mycle
to
say
as
troubled
&
obscure
.
Certeinly
the
vnrest
&
tribulacion
comyth
there
specially
of
iij
thingis
.
First
the
variance
of
paynes
as
one
seith
the
weder
is
troubled
/
when
it
is
now
medled
with
reyn̄
now
with
haill
/
now
with
snowe
/
or
such
stormes
which
as
it
is
sayd
/
be
of
al
thoes
maners
in
hell
as
witnessen̄
prophetes
sayng
.
It
shal
rayn̄
vppon
synners
bothe
fire
&
brim●●on
/
&
the
spiretes
of
tempest
shal
geue
them
parte
of
their
●●urmentes
.
Secundly
of
the
ministres
infernal
.
As
it
is
writen
in
Iheremy
the
xvj
chapitre
.
Thoes
deueles
that
ye
haue
serued
.
nether
nyght

shal

Thirdely
of

.
as
it
is
writen
in
Isay
in
the
lxv
chapitre
.
ye

by

of

.
In
trouth
our
lord
shal
answere
to
al

that
so
shal
howle

cry
.
as
it
is
seid
in
Iheremy
the
xxx
chapitre
Wherfore

thy

not
to

heled
I
haue
punisshed
the
thus
for
thy
wikked
felonous
synnes
.
Thridly
hell
is
called
a
place
right
distempred
.
as
Auernus
/
that
is
as
mykel
to
saye
as
a
thing
without
a
temꝑance
of
delite
for
the
paynes
be
no
thing
moderated
there
/
but
continue
in
grete
excesse
/
of
trouth
there
is
therin
without
mensure
excessesiue
tenebres
.
whiche
be
called
exteriores
.
as
seint
Mathewe
saith
in
his
xxij
chapitre
.
We
haue
example
of
this
in
Exode
in
the
x
chapitre
by
the
maniable
tenebres
that
were
somtime
in
Egipte
.
O
how
mykel
shal
the
tenebres
of
helle
be
more
greuous
than
thoes
.
It
is
writen
in
Iob
in
the
xx
chapitre
.
Alle
horrible
tenebres
shal
com̄e
on
him
Ageyn
thenne
shal
the
synners
saye
/
as
it
is
saide
in
the
Psalter
.
They
haue
cast
me
into
the
lowest
lake
and
in
the
tenebrous
place
and
in
the
shadowe
of
dethe
.
they
haue
logged
me
in
the
obscure
place
as
dede
fro
this
world
/
wherfore
my
sowle
is
angry
with
me
.
Semblably
it
is
writen
in
the
Lamentacions
of
Iheremy
.
They
haue
logged
me
with
thoes
that
be
sempiternally
dede
/
there
is
therin
an
excessife
hete
.
As
Iob
saith
in
his
xiiij
chapitre
The
hete
is
greet
therin
.
&
the
cause
is
that
it
breketh
not
out
but
is
closed
in
/
as
the
hete
in
an
ouen
.
The
Psalter
saith
.
Whenne
thou
art
an
angred
thou
shalt
put
the
synners
in
an
ouen
full
of
fire
.
Also
our
lord
shal
tormente
them
with
his
wrath
.
&
fire
shal
deuour
them
.
there
is
ther
also
a
right
sharpe
coolde
/
as
is
writen
in
Iob
in
the
said
chapitre
.
It
is
said
the
water
of
snowe
is
colder
then
al
other
waters
/
yet
the
waters
of
helle
may
not
be
compared
with
of
chilling
nor
coolde
.
And
therfor
seith
Fulgencius
in
his
pistles
.
Ther
is
in
hell
ij
principale
maner
of
tormentes
that
is
to
wite
by
intollerable
coolde
&
by
inquencheable
hete
It
is
writen
in
the
xxiiij
chapitre
of
seint
mathew
.
There
shal
be
in
hell
bothe
weping
&
coolde
.
certeinly
the
effluccion
of
teeris
by
weping
com̄ith
of
hete
/
but
the
inward
sorowes
is
caused
by
coolde
.
To
this
purpose
witnesseth
Iob
in
the
said
xxiiij
chapitre
.
the
sinner
oupassed
with
the
coold
water
of
snowe
/
goeth
after
into
the
greet
firy
heates
.
It
is
founde
also
in
a
litle
book
of
the
dedis
of
Alexandre
the
kyng
of
Macedon̄
.
That
when
he
was
for
clomme●
with
the
Isse
&
with
the
colde
of
the
snowe
he
wolde
goo
to
the
fire
of
colis
.
O
how
myserable
&
paynfull
shal
this
trouble
be
to
thoes
that
shal
not
dye
nor
haue
lightnyng
in
the
prison
of
helle
.
but
be
tourmented
there
infenitely
.
Fourthly
hell
is
called
a
noyfull
wayling
place
/
and
therfore
after
Papie
it
is
named
Acheron
/
that
is
as
mycle
to
seye
as
a
place
without
Ioye
lackyng
all
goodnesse
.
For
this
cause
saith
the
Comentator
Aueroys
in
the
iiij
chapitre
of
poetrie
.
That
hell
hath
a
continuell
sorowe
&
wepyng
with
out
consolacion
.
In
trouth
the
dampned
folkes
ther
benethe
haue
no
counfort
in
the
worlde
for
the
orisons
&
prayers
that
been
saide
in
the
chirche
mylitant
may
profeite
them
no
thing
/
and
from
aboue
comyth
there
no
helpe
to
them
/
ther
falleth
on
them
no
misericorde
.
wherfore
they
be
in
dispaire
of
ony
grace
in
tyme
comyng
and
knowe
certeynly
that
they
without
Remedy
and
not
to
be
qui●ee
out
of
the
prison
/
&
so
they
rest
sempiternally
in
waylyng
in
sorowe
and
in
desolacion
.
It
is
writen
in
the
boook
of
Sapiens
in
the
iiii
chapitre
.
That
the
dampned
sowles
shal
be
vtterly
in
desolacion
.
Also
the
dampned
sowle
seith
in
the
first
chapitre
of
the
Trenys
of
Iheremye
.
I
am
cast
in
desolacion
&
am
conuicte
into
wepyng
.
It
is
writen
in
Isaye
in
the
xxxiiij
chapitre
.
That
the
wretched
synner
shal
be
in
desolacion
during
the
worlde
of
worldes
.
Alas
alas
what
payne
is
that
to
be
endured
.
O
moost
cruell
payne
.
O
desolacion
ful
of
al

¶
How
thoes
that
descende
into
helle
be
cruelly
punysshed
¶
The
secunde
chapitre
of
the
thirde
parte
principal
NOwe
to
procede
folowyngly
by
ordre
it
resteth
to
be
expouned
how
there
be
many
and
diuerse
afflictions
geuen
by
the
soldeours
of
helle
.
Thoes
soldeours
been
to
vndrestonde
the
deueles
/
whiche
been
tourmentours
and
hangemen
full
abhominable
to
beholde
and
cruell
in
their
dedis
/
neuer
wery
to
tourmente
nor
to
geue
paynes
.
I
say
first
that
thoes
deueles
be
horrible
to
be
holde
And
therfore
they
be
so
paynted
in
the
chirche
with
hideous
and
orrible
figures
.
To
this
purpose
it
is
redde
that
where
some
tyme
/
a
religious
man
was
lying
in
his
dortor
among
his
brethren
/
It
happened
in
a
nyght
that
he
cryed
orribly
where
thorow
all
the
brethren
of
his
couent
resorted
vnto
hym
/
and
they
founde
hym
staring
&
his
eyen
fixid
vppon
a
wall
firmely
without
moeuyng
/
and
wolde
answere
to
no
question̄
that
they
demaunded
hym
.
he
was
so
meued
with
a
meruelous
fere
.
and
in
the
morowe
his
prior
came
vnto
hym
and
asked
what
hym
ayled
that
nyght
.
and
he
answered
/
He
hadde
se●n
the
deuell
.
And
thenne
it
was
questioned
hym
/
what
shappe
he
was
of
.
And
he
answered
that
his
shappe
ne
mought
lightly
be
descriued
.
and
saide
.
If
ther
were
here
an
ouon
ful
of
fire
and
yondre
the
figure
of
the
deuill
/
I
hadde
as
leef
entre
into
the
ouon
/
as
long
to
beholde
on
his
moost
horrible
figure
.
And
as
seint
Bernard
saith
in
the
Psalme
of
Qui
habitat
in
adiutorio
.
O
my
right
dere
brethren
what
thinke
ye
/
if
it
were
a
thing
sittyng
/
that
oon
of
thies
princes
of
tenebres
/
that
be
of
so
many
hydeous
and
meruelous
shappes
shulde
come
and
appere
emongis
you
with
his
greet
cruelte
and
vnformed
tenebrous
body
/
what
temporale
or
spirituale
witte
mought
susteyne
to
beholde
hym
.
It
is
redde
in
the
book
de
Uitis
patrum
.
How
ther
was
somtyme
an
auncient
man
that
said
.
I
trowe
ther
is
no
lyuyng
Creature
/
but
and
he
sawe
the
deuyll
in
the
same
fourme
that
the
dampned
Sowles
see
hym
/
he
sholde
no
more
lyue
after
/
but
shortly
shulde
dye
.
Also
Seint
Gregory
saith
of
oon
callid
Crisso●ius
/
whiche
beyng
full
seke
sawe
beside
hym
a
greet
multitude
of
Deueles
wherfore
he
cryed
full
hydeously
after
helpe
/
he
turned
hym
this
waye
and
that
waye
/
to
th
entent
he
shulde
not
see
them
/
but
he
was
so
feruently
troubled
with
them
in
fere
/
that
right
sone
he
dyed
.
Certeynely
all
thoes
that
see
the
deueles
be
in
suche
greet
trouble
that
all
men
drede
the
fight
of
them
.
and
not
without
Reason
/
for
there
horrible
figure
tourmenteth
thoes
to
deth
that
beholdeth
them
.
It
is
writen
in
Iob
the
xx
chapitre
.
Horrible
thingis
shall
goo
and
come
vpon
them
.
And
that
Seint
Bernard
sheweth
whenne
he
saide
.
O
my
sowle
what
fere
shall
thou
haue
/
whenne
thou
shalt
leue
the
presens
of
alle

wherin
thou
hast
Ioye
/
the
syght
of
that
that
is
agreable
vnto
the
and
all
thy
familiarite
/
and
shalt
entre
allone
ferfully
into
the
regyon
/
whiche
is
to
the
vnknowen
/
whenne
the
right
terrible
and
orrible
monstres
shal
come
in
greet
companies
ayenst

O
how
grete
a
deformite
shal
be
in
thoes
orrible
deueles
that
shal
appere
in
figures
of
right
cruell
bestis
.
And
as
it
is
wreten
in
the
xj
chapitre
of
Sapiens
.
Because
they
permitted
errours
as
doon
serpentes
and
other
superflue
beestis
thou
hast
sent
them
a
multitude
of
doum
bestes
in
vengeaunce
to
th
entent
that
they
may
knowe
wherin
they
haue
synned
/
they
to
be
tourmented
by
the
same
.
Certeyn̄
it
is
not
impossible
that
the
moost
myghty
hande
that
hath
create
&
made
all
the
vniuersall
worlde
of
thyng
vnsene
/
shulde
sende
a
multitude
offers
beres
of
hardy

and
other
many
furious
beestis
of

casting
v●pures
of

geuyng
stynkyng

puttyng

brennyng
of

but
al
thise
thinges
shulde
be

the
hurte
of

and
also
the
beholdyng

them
/
as
it
is
writen
in

chapitre
aforsaid
.
Iob
sayde
in
his
xvj
chapitre
Myn̄

beholde
me
with
terrible

.
He
also
saith
in
his
xlj
chapitre
.
His
loke
&
beholding
is
like
a
glistring
of
fire
out
of
his
mouth
stremyng
as
it
were
brennyng

Therfore
seith

Iheremy
in
his
xij
chapitre
saith
.
Come
ye
all
beestis
and
assemble
and
make
you
redy
for
to
deuoure
.
Seint
Gregory
in
his
Dyalogis
talketh
therof
and
saith
.
That
ther
was
somtyme
a
monk
not
yet
verily
monke
in
dede
but
so
named
/
whiche
was
called
Theodorus
.
It
was
right
displeasant
vnto
hym
/
whenne
oon
spake
to
hym
for
his
saluacion
/
he
wolde
not
oonly
leue
to
do
good
/
but
it
lothed
hym
to
here
speke
therof
.
and
as
Theodorus
was
at
the
article
of
deth
alle
his
brethren
of
his
couent
assembled
about
him
in
prayers
&
deuoute
orisons
that
they
myght
helpe
&
defende
his
sowle
atte
departur
from
his
body
.
then
he
began
sodenly
to
crye
&
with
a
greet
voyce
hade
them
breke
of
&
leue
their
orisons
and
prayers
&
departe
/
for
he
was
gyuen
vnto
an
orrible
dragon
for
to
be
deuoured
/
whiche
he
saide
for
their
prayers
myght
not
deuour
hym
/
&
yet
he
hadde
swalowed
his
hede
/
&
prayed
them
therfor
go
thens
&
pray
no
more
/
but
lette
hym
do
that
/
that
he
purpos●d
to
do
/
sens
he
was
geuen
vnto
him
/
and
the
forsaid
Theodorus
seid
/
why
suffre
ye
me
so
long
to
be
in
this
case
Thenne
sayde
his
brethren
vnto
hym
.
What
is
it
that
thou
seyst
/
make
the
figure
of
the
crosse
vppon
the.
To
whom̄
the
sayde
Theodorus
answered
with
a
lamentable
crye
.
I
wolde
feyn
blesse
me
/
but
I
can
not
/
for
I
am
to
hardly
prikked
and
oppressed
with
the
vyolence
of
this
dragon
.
And
whenne
his
brethren
herde
hym
seye
so
they
fyll
flatte
to
the
erthe
with
wepyng
teeres
/
and
began
ageyn
their
prayers
and
orisons
deuoutly
for
the
helpe
and
Redempcion
of
this
Theodorus
/
whiche
sone
after
sodenly
began
to
crye
with
a
lowde
voyce
saiyng
.
I
yelde
louyng
thankis
and
grace
to
god
my
creatour
/
for
nowe
that
dragon
/
whiche
shulde
haue
deuoured
me
is
driuen
and
chased
away
fro
me
by
your
good
and
deuoute
prayers
and
orisons
.
Also
Seint
Gregorie
telleth
an
example
in
the
fourthe
boook
of
his
Dyalogis
that
how
in
the
partes
of
Anchone
in
a
monastery
called
Congolathon
be
fell
somtime
that
there
was
therin
a
monk
which
was
taken
for
a
very
holy
man
meruelously
wele
disposed
towarde
god
/
But
whenne
his
brethren
went
that
he
hadde
fasted
he
was
accustumed
secretely
to
ete
.
And
whenne
he
was
atte
the
batayl
of
deth
/
he
called
generally
for
alle
his
brethren
/
saiyng
vnto
them
.
I
am
deliuered
nowe
vnto
a
dragon
to
be
deuoureed
/
whiche
with
his
taill
hath
knytte
to gydre
my
fete
&
also
my
kneys
&
putteth
his
hede
into
my
mouth
/
&
draweth
my
sowle
out
of
my
body
.
and
after
he
hadde
saide
thoes
wordes
he
dyed
forth
withall
.
It
may
seme
thies
wordes
be
for
the
condempned
sinners
which
ben
writen
in
Iheremy
in
the
lj
chapitre
.
He
hath
eten
me
like
a
dragon
.
This
dragon
is
hideous
and
greet
and
hath
vij
hedes
&
x
hornes
in
the
same
as
it
is
writen
in
the
Apocalips
in
the
xij
chapitre
.
Ther
hath
been
a
greet
bataile
in
the
skye
so
that
seint
Michiel
&
his
angell
hath
fought
with
the
dragon
&
his
angell
which
might
not
resist
/
&
sith
their
rowmes
in
heuen
coude
not
be
founde
but
were
cast
down
and
so
the
dragon
auncient
serpent
/
which
is
called
the
deuil
sathan
enforceth
him self
to
make
warre
vpon
the
uniuersal
world
here
.
And
for
that
cause
is
it
red
in
the
same
chapitre
That
harme
come
to
the
erthe
and
to
the
see
/
for
the
deuill
is
descended
emong
you
with
all
his
greet
furious
anger
/
This
deuil
hath
a
meruelous
greet
hate
vnto
all
good
peple
/
which
disposeth
them
to
take
possession
in
the
rowme
of
heuen
/
from
whens
he
was
put
out
&
chased
into
th
eternal
paines
.
and
the
more
that
the
day
of
●ome
approcheth
the
more
tempteth
he
more
cursedly
&
more
forseth
him self
to
do
euil
in
distroyng
of
sowles
.
O
how
greet
is
the
wikkidnesse
and
the
malice
of
this
deuil
of
hell
.
Wherof
Seint
Bernard
talketh
in
a
prose
saiyng
.
O
how
felonows
shal
then
this
tormentours
be
/
which
shal
paine
&
tourmente
synners
/
how
terrible
shal
their
vengeance
be
in
vengyng
vices
wretchednes
&
sinnes
.
Certeinly
their
cruel
malice
is
yet
augmented
in
diuerse
maners
.
First
because
they
be
so
innumerable
and
of
so
diuerse
soortes
.
The
Psalter
saith
Why
be
thoes
so
multiplied
that
tourmenteth
me
/
and
ther
be
many
that
dresse
them
ayenst
me
.
And
as
it
is
writen
in
Iob
in
the
xix
Chapitre
.
They
haue
asseged
my
Tabernacle
about
me
.
It
is
writen
in
Uitis
patrum
.
That
ther
was
a
good
Auncient
Man
that
sawe
the
deuill
enuyronyng
the
Peple
and
were
as
thik
as
beis
that
make
hony
.
Wherfore
it
is
saide
also
in
the
Psawter
.
They
haue
compassed
me
as
beis
be
cause
they
be
many
&
of
grete
myght
/
as
Th
appostle
witnessith
in
his
pistle
ad
the
epheseos
in
the
vj
chapitre
.
wher
he
calleth
them
princes
&
potestates
&
gouernours
of
the
world
be
cause
they
be
subtil
&
myghty
to
noy
sowles
.
The
psalter
seith
.
The
strong
haue
sought
my
sowle
.
this
strength
is
vndrestonde
by
the
deueles
.
It
is
redde
also
of
the
strength
in
Iob
the
xlj
chapitre
.
There
is
no
myght
vppon
the
erthe
to
be
compared
with
that
/
that
hath
doon
so
that
it
dredeth
no
man
sauf
hym
that
seith
all
thing
from
aboue
&
is
king
ouer
all
the
children
of
pride
the
deueles
shal
ernstfully
exorcise
their
might
in
pride
to
the
pumisson
of
synners
&
them
shal
cruelly
tourmente
.
It
is
writen
in
Ecclesiastico
the
xxxix
chapitre
.
Ther
be
spirites
that
be
ordeyned
to
take
vengeaunce
&
hath
confermed
the
tormentes
in
their
furour
enduringly
till
the
consummacion
of
the
worlde
.
Iob
seith
in
his
xvj
chapitre
.
He
hath
compassed
me
with
his
fperis
&
hath
not
spared
me
/
but
hath
hurte
my
reynes
/
he
hath
cast
my
bowell
to
the
erthe
/
and
geuen
me
woundes
vppon
wounde
&
this
come
shuldering
ayenst
me
like
a
gyand
.
Thirdely
the
malice
and
cruelte
of
the
deuell
is
comforted
&
is
more
greuous
be
cause
they
ar
neuer
wery
of
tormenting
.
As
it
is
writen
in
the
book
of
Daniel
in
the
iij
chapitre
.
The
mynistres
shal
not
seasse
in
sturryng
the
fires
of
the
fourneis
to
the
causing
of
paynes
.
Therfore
said
a
wise
man
that
there
be
tormentours
/
whiche
be
more
to
be
lothed
then
serpentes
/
and
they
be
blakke
and
defourmed
and
will
not
be
beten
downe
.
And
they
be
neuer
wery
to
do
harme
but
newly
encreasen
their
malice
al
way
redy
/
and
boyling
desirously
to
put
soules
to
payne
.
and
incessantly
they
excersise
their
cruelte
more
and
more
.
And
it
is
saide
to
all
sinners
in
Deutronomy
in
the
xxviij
chapitre
.
Thou
shalt
serue
for
thyn
enemy
whenne
our
lord
shal
sende
the
naked
vnto
him
in
honger
and
thirste
and
in
alle
pouerte

And
the●●e
shal
thy
sore
woundes
enereace
perpetuelly
O
how
greet
shal
the
paynes
be
there
to
dampned
folkes
whiche
shal
last
continuelly
in
anguish̄
and
miserie
without
intermission
lacking
peas
or
reste
.
It
is
red
of
the
sinners
in
Ezechiel
in
the
vij
chapitre
.
That
whenne
they
shal
fele
th●es
anguisshi●us
paine
/
they
shal
desire
and
requir●
to
haue
peas
/
but
thenne
they
gete
non
/
for
they
shal
h●ue
conturbacion
and
sorowe
vpon
sorowe
.
It
is
writen
in
Th
apocalips
the
xiiij
chapitre
.
That
thoes
that
haue
been
b●estly
shal
therfore
haue
no
rest
by
daye
nor
nyght
Then
mowe
the
sinners
we
le
say
/
as
it
is
writen
in
Isay
in
the
xxxviij
chapitre
.
I
shal
not
see
our
lord
god
in
the
kuyng
lond
/
nor
I
shal
no
more
beholde
ony
man
.
that
is
inhabitour
of

.
Semblable
as
it
is
writen
in
Iheremye
the
xlv
chapitre
.
Alas
I
am
vnhappy
/
for
oure
lord

Sorowe

and
alle
Iniquite

Now
by
thies

Certeyne
there
be
sondery
condicions

whiche
doubteles

in
diuerse
places
of
holy

as
it

Th
apocalips

They

eten
their
tonges
for
greet
sorowe
and
haue
blasfemed
the
god
of
heuen
for
their
anguisshys
and
their

Seint
Gregory
saith
that
he
that
is
condempned
to
the
tormentes
findeth
more
paine
there
then
can
be
supposed
or
thought
.
Seint
Iherom̄
saith
that
the
force
of
the
sorowe
in
hell
shal
be
so
●
greet
that
it

not
addresse

but
as
the
force
of
the
said
sorowe
wil

Certeyn
the
sinner
shal
say
then
as
is
writen
in
Iheremye
in
the
viij
chapitre
.
My
woo
encreaseth

The
egrenesse

As
it

A

come
that

In

Wherby

the
bitternes

It
is
red
that
this
egrenes
was

Neuerthelesse

The
yong
man
answered

I
haue
entred
into
this
ordre
knowyng
wele
that
I
was
voluptuously
norisshed
and
myght

But
I

wherfore
I
hadde

susteyne
the
litle

then
the
paynes

ar
incomparable

For

The

This
consideracion
moued
an
heremite
callid

to
enterprise

meruilous
penaunce

accomplisshed

as
seint
gregory
sheweth
in
the
iiij
book
of
his

this
heremite
dyed
by
a
sekenesse
/
&
yet
after
his
deth
his
sowle
was
restored
ageyn
to
his
body
.
Also
Seint
Gregory
saith
.
that
ther
was
somtime
a
monk
borne
of
Irelond
called
piers
/
this
monk
affermed
how
he
had
seen
the
greuous
tormentes
of
hell
/
the
innumerable
peinful
places
&
flame●
of
fire
.
&
tolde
how
he
had
seyn
there
certeyn
mighty
men
of
this
world
honged
vp
in
the
saide
flames
.
And
he
seide
as
he
was
brought
for
to
be
cast
in
:
sodenly
appered
an
angel
clothed
al
in
white
/
which
saued
hym
and
hade
him
go
thens
and
attentifly
to
remembre
how
he
shulde
liue
from
thens
forthward
to
kepe
him
out
of
the
danger
of
the
peines
.
After
that
he
had
herde
that
voice
he
reuiued
and
came
to
hym self
litel
and
litel
/
and
shewed
vnto
his
brethren
ther
all
the
thingis
that
he
had
feled
&
seen
.
and
from
that
day
forthward
he
vsed
&
liued
a
blessid
lif
in
fasting
&
doyng
penaunce
/
so
that
by
his
conusacion
after
it
myght
wel
seme
the
paynes
of
hell
ar
to
be
dred
.
The
secund
condicion
encreasing
the
paynes
of
hell
is
the
multipliyng
of
the
tourmentes
there
.
In
certeyn
they
be
innumiable
.
And
as
the
psalter
saith
.
The
paines
/
whiche
be
without

haue
enuiround

It
is
writen
in
deutronomy

I

&
I
shal
accomplish

as
it

Isaye
the

His

our

which
he
hath

after

to

that

It

Lo
how

The

The

also

So

the

The

the

haue
founden
me
.
It
saith

It
hath
compassed
me
for
this
cause

For
it
is
to
him
a
vestiment
or
couring
of
malediction
/
whiche
shal
be
bothe
within
hym
and
without
hym
.
O
what
vestiment
shal
this
be
that
shal
be
wouen
with
so
paynfull
thredes
/
and
thoes
without

/
whiche
can
neuer
be
vndoon
nor
taken
away
/
For
with
an
inmortale
string
it
shal
be
inseparabily
bounden
vnto
the
synner
.
This
shal
be
a
sore
and
a
biting
vestiment
to
be
suffred
.
This
is
the
vestiment
that
is
writen
of
in
Isaye
in
the

Thy

axed
of
him

why
he
wolde

And
he
answered
.
All
the

of

is
not
sufficient
to
be
compared
to

of

that

it

and
he
made
hym
a

by
a

In

he
wolde
renne
often

as
hoot
as
hit
was
possible
to
hym
to
suffre

And
this
lyf
he
ledde
vnto
his
dethe

And
whenne
folkes
sawe
hym

so

they
blamed
hym
therfore

and
he
sayde
to
them

If

there
can
be
no
proporcion
in

infenite

as
Aristotile
the
philosophre
saith
in
his
viij
book
of
his
phisikes
.
Certeynly
if
dampned
sowles
mighten
knowe
and
vndrestande
that
they
shulde
be
deliuered
out
of
thin
t●llerable
paynes
of
hell
assone
/
as
the
saide
pece
of
metalle
were
so
wasted
and
goon
,
as
is
aboue
saide
/
yet
they
might
haue
hope
of
their
redempcion
ayens
that
saison
/
and
haue
som
maner
of
confort
/
knowyng
that
their
tormentes
shulde
somtime
taken
ende
.
yet
the
yeers
wolde
be
incomprehensible
and
innumerable
.
Now
surely
oon
of
the
grettest
paynes
is
the
desolacion
and
defaulte
of
hope
euer
to
be
redemed
and
deliuered
out
of
th
eternall
tormentes
.
For
as
it

writen
in
Isay
the
xxxiiij

.
The

be

Wherunto

Lo

how

Wherfore

Late

For

Yet

O

And

whiche
was
well
considered
by
oon
somtime

Fulson
of

Whiche
was
in

an
excellent
Iougulier
al
abandouned

In

he
be
thought
hym
of
the
peines
of
helle
and
of
th
eternite
therof

and
remembred
in
his
herte
.
If
he
were
compelled
to
lye
in
a
faire
and
a
softe
bed
wel
hanged
and
plaisantly
dressed
and
for
no
necessite
might
departe
out
of
it
/
Yet
al
were
it
neuer
so
delicious
/
it
coude
not
lye
in
his
power
continually
to
endure
hit
And
theruppon
remembred
hym
how
he
shulde
then
mowe
susteigne
th
intolerable
perpetuell
peines
of
helle
/
whiche
ar
languereuse
and
from
thens
none

This
forsaide
Fulson
considering
that
/
left
all
his
vaine
worldly
delites
and
made
him self
a
monque
.
and
sithen
was
archibsshop
of
Tholouse

where
he
liued
and
guided
hym
right

The

Repentance

And
therfore

Egelippus
saith
in

How

This

Whenne

Whenne

So
semblably
the
soure
Remembraunce
of
the
perpetuelle
tormentes
and
paynes
of

ought
to
reuoque
a
man
from

Iob

May

Prosper
saith
.
In

But
who
is
he
that
shulde
not
gladly
suffre
tribulacions
in
this

for

of
the
sempiternal

And
who

he
that

of

for
to

the
moost

Ioye
of

It
is
saide
also
in
the
Legende
of
seint
Iohn
Euangelist
That
riche
and
myghty
folkes
were
conuerted
by
his
perdicacion̄
/
and
relinquisshed
alle
their

Yet
they
sawe
after
some
/
that
were
their
seruauntes
reised
in
the
flatring
glorie
and
fortune
of
this

Wherfore
they

Whiche
thing
Seint
Iohn
vndrestood
by
the

goost

prayed
vnto
our

thenne
our

changed
certaine
reces
of
tymber
vnto
fyn
golde

vnto

so
they
were
restoreed

Thenne
it

that
Seint

reuiued
from

shewed
vnto
thoes

how

Whenne

that
