Dialogo

A

standeth

&
gothe
neuer
to
declyne
/
nor
laboureth
nat
by

circuler
as
other

doth
.
It
is
as
a
marke
or
a
path
of
the
see
/
to
the
whiche
shypmen
geue
great
attendance
.
All
other
sterrys
gadryd
them
togeder
&
cam
to
this
sterre
&
sayd
Thou
sittest
alway
styll
&
haste

and
we
go
about
&
labour
without

and
be
thy

.
aryse
thou

and
let
an
other
be

&
occupy

.
To
whom
this
sterre
Trāsmonteyn
answered
&
sayde
/
ye
knowe
nat
what
ye
wold
haue
/
for
your

nat
lefull
nor

/
For
I
haue

And
yf
I
dyd
nat
wysely
conserue
you
in

&
mocyons
/
ye
sholde
gretly
erre
for
lacke
of
a
gode
gyder
.
Wherfore
I
counsell
you
to
be
content
&
in
peace
.
But
the
other
sterris
wolde
nat
be
pleasyd
/
but
rather
more
wylfuller
to
haue
theyr
peticyon
/
and
sayde
all
at
onys
.
We
pray
the
to
suffer
vs
to
chose
an
other
gyder
.
Trasmontayn
than
beholdynge
their
frowarde
wylfulnes
/
departed
from
them
/
&
went
&
complayned
to
hys
lorde
&
maker
.
The
sterrys
that
seynge
/
made
great
exultacyon
&
gladnes
/
&
aplyed
them
to
make
election
of
a
newe
gyder
.
but
therin
they
cowde
nat
agree
/
but
fell
at
varyance
and
began
to
fyght
eche
with
other
/
&
as
shepe
lackynge
a
shepherde
/
they
erryd
&
fell
out
of
good
rule
.
at
last
whan
they
concidered
the
felicyte
that
they
were
in
somtyme
by
the
policye
&
gode
gydinge
of
theyr
soueraigne
/
&
the
great
myserie
that
was
fallen
to
them
for
lacke
of
hym
.
They
fell
in
repentance
&
came
to
theyr
fyrst
gyder
&
prayde
hym
to
take
them
to
grace
&
to
rule
them
as
he
had
done
before
/
&
confirmed
hym
in
his
worshyp
/
&
sayd
all
with
one
voyce
.
The
gyder
that
gydeth
/
with
vertewe
&
grace
Sholde
neuer
be
changed
/
lest
a
worse
haue
his
place
EVyn
so
it
is
conuenyent
for
vs
to
do
when
we
haue
a
gode
ruler
the
whiche
rightfully
ruleth
&
gydeth
vs
/
we
be
bownde
to
loue
hym

&
to

hym
herewith
&
worshyp
/
&
nat
lightly
to
chaunge
hym
/
but
cherysshe
hym
after
our
power
for
the
great
labour
that
he
hathe
to
gyde
vs
for
our
we
le
.
The
degre
of
gouernance
is
called
great
worshyp
/
but
it
is
a
gret
charge
/
as
Barnard
sayth
/
what
is
worshyp
or
power
/
but
a
great
bourden
&
miserye
.
Or
what
is
sublimyte
or
dignyte
of
the
worlde
but
a
perylous
&
doubtfull
tempest
.
Who
may
be
in
worshyp
or
prelacye
without
payn
or
tribulacyon
.
Or
who
is
in
dignyte
without
vanyte
/
as
Valery
telleth
.
lib.
vii.
of
a
Kynge
that
was
of
so
great
witte

so
gret
counsell
/
that
whan
the
Crowne

delyuered
to
hym
he
helde
it
longe
betwene
his
handes
or
he
set
it
vpon
his

/
and
consideringe
it
well

O
noble
&
fortunable
garlonde
/
how
full
of
besynes
and
peryllart
thou
/
Innumerable
to

For
as
Augustyne
sayth
.
There
is
no
thynge
more
laboryous
/
more
harde
/
nor
more
perylous
/
than
is
to
haue
great
domynacyon
or

.
and
therfore
Valerius
dothe
shewe
vnto

in
Libro

of
Corneli
scipion
/
that
whan
Spayn

vnto
hym
/
he
answered
&
sayd
he
wolde

/
&
shewed
the
cawse
why
/
For
he
cowld
nat

For
he

There

And
aftyrwarde
this
yongman
cawsid

make
greate
instaunce
to
his
fadir
/
and
at

be
ther
meanys
his
fadir
suffirde
him
to
acomplish
his
apetyte
/
&
to
entre
in
to
Relygyon
howe
be
it
his
fadir
was
not
greatly
pleasid
with
all

And
forthwith
immediatly
this
yongman
went
to
a
monasterye
/
and
was
made
a
monke
.
And
whan
he
had
receyuid
the
holye
habyte
of
Religion
he
began
in
greate
perfeccion
Dewly
to
perfourme

they
entrid

toke

And
atte
the

rose

The

But
the
swalowe
made
greate
noyse
oftyn
tymes
and
reioycyd
of
brynging
forth
of
her

Wherwith
thys
Ciconia
was
greatly
trowblyd

For
whan
she
wolde
haue
takyn

she
myght
not

Therfor
in
the
absence
of

Ciconya
destroyed
her
neste

and
killyd
her

.
And
whan
the

She
made
right
doulfoll
sorowe
for

But
forasmoch
as
she
knew
not

did
it

she
auengid

Within
a
while
after

repayrid

and
made
a
newe

brought
forth
her
byrdes
and
was
greatlye
glad
of
them
/
and
chyrkyd
faste
and
made
moche
noyse
.
Wherfore
Cyconia
was
greuid
greatelye
as
afore

and
spake
lowde

and
sayde
.
Certaynlye

mourdird

bethought

And
therfore
vpon

was
slepinge
with

the
swalowe
came
pryuelye

sette
fire

But
vtterly
the
Egle
wold
not

And
whan

They

But

For

wolde
in

The

toke
not

so

wodehenne
as
he
had
done
/
but
suffirde
her

And
they
were
fresshly
remembrid
of
the
olde
persecucyon
of

Of

Dialogo

Vpon
a
tyme
ther
was
a
Chorle
/
which
cherysshed
many
beys
in
an
hyue
/
by
the
whiche
he
gate
greate
good
/
but
neuerthelesse
he
had
manye
a
paynfull
townge
of
them
/
whan
he
toke
owte
the
Combes
.
And
it
fortunyd
vppon
a
tyme
that
he
had
a
greuows
strooke
of
a
bee
/
which
greuyd
hym
very
sore
.
wherfore
he
was
right
angrye
and
thretenyd
the
beys
and
sayde
in
this
wyse
/
I
promyse
yow
by
God
almyghty
/
that
and
euer
ye
stynge
me
more
/
I
shall
ouerthrowe
yowe
and
dryue
yowe
awaye
.
To
whom
the
beys
sayde
.
Thowe
Chorle
thow
arte
gladde
to
gadre
and
receyue
the
prophetable
swetnesse
that
comyth
of
vs
/
but
thow
arte
loth
to
suffre
any
payne
/
Take
paciently
the
bitternesse
/
yf
thow
wylt
reioyce
the
swettenes
/
or
ellys
we
wyll
forsake
the
/
and
thou
shalte
neuer
haue
more
profite
by
vs
.
This
Chorle
within
a
shorte
space
after
came
agayne
to
his
hyues
/
and
toke
owte
the
honycombes
/
and
forth
came
a
bee
&
stunge
hym
sore
and
thryst
in
his
spere
/
and
gaue
hym
a
greate
wownde
/
wherfore
he
was
woode
/
and
in
grete
angre
he
ouerthrew
all
the
hyues
and
destroyd
them
and
the
beys
seynge
the
greate
furyowsnes
of
the
chorle
.
They
forsoke
him
all
at
oonis
/
and
came
neuer
more
there
.
and
so
the
Chorle
was
brought
to
greate
pouerte
/
that
was
somtyme
vsyd
to
lyue
prosperouslye
.
and
whan
he
remembrid
the
greate
auayle
and
profite
that
he
had
receyuyd
before
season
of
the
beys
/
and
the
pouerte
that
he
was
fall
inne
/
he
bewaylyd
his
miserable
state
and
sayde
.
He
muste
suffre
both
disease
and
payne
.
That
to
haue
auauntage
is
euer
fayne
.
BVt
now
in
these
deys
ther
be
many
such

desire
to
lyue

not

and
therfore
Ierome
saith

He
that
wyll
leue

the
doctrine
of

aftyr

/
all

For

God
excludid
not

owte
of
paradice
to
the
entente
that
he
shulde
haue
here
an
other
paradice
/
as
saith
bernarde
.
Wherfor
it
is
redde
in
vitis
patrum
/
that
a
broder
of
religion
put
a
question
to
his
abbotte
and
sayde
.
Why
am
I
so

sittinge

.
To

he
sayd
.
For
thou
sawyst
neuer
the
greate
reste
that
we
hope
to
come
to
Nor
the
great
paynes
of
hell
that
we
drede
.
For
and
if
thow
woldist
beholde
them
dylygently
/
and
if
thy

were
replete
with
woormys
vp
to
thy
necke
thou
woldist
gladlye
and
wylfullye
abyde
amonge

withowte
any

Also
it
is
redde
in

that
sertayne
bredren
of

prayde
and
desyred
an
olde
man
that
he
shulde

and
labowre
not
so
sore
.
To
whom
he
answerde
and
sayde
.
Bredren
beleue

truly
.
For
Abraham
shall
repente
hym
whan
he
shall
see
the
greate
gyftes
and
rewardis
of
Godde
that
he
hath
no
more
labowrid

trauaylyd
in

Also
ther

Howe
arte

and
he
answerde

all

But
for

First
that
no

Secounde
that
no

contrays
.
The
thryd
that
noon
of
all
his

shuld
be
so
hardye
to

to
other
contrays
.
And
these
thre
commaundmentys
were
obserued
of
his
subiertis
/
and
he
leuyd
in
delycis
and
pleasure
and
gadryd
greate
goodes
and
no
wonder
.
For
what
so
euer
that
cam
to
his
possession
he
partyd
with
noman
therof
.
But
kepte
it
straytlye
to
his
owne
propre
vse
.
And
vppon
a
tyme
by
the
rightfull
iugemente
of
God
.
Thondris
lyghtninges
&
tempestis
destroyed
all
the
contraye

The
dwellers
and
comprouincy
allys
of

ran
all
togider
to
the
gryfon
crying

.
Go

And
he
sent
forth
legates
to
other
nacyons
that
were
nexte
adioynaunte
to
him
that
thei
shuld
sende
of

goodes
and
graynes
vnto
him
/
and
sell

pryce
.
To
whom
they
answerde

thow

Nor
now
in
thi

He
sent
agayne
other
messangers
desyringe
them
to
come
with
marchaundise

to
haue
fre
passage
at
ther
pleasure
.
and
thei
answerde
.
Thow
woldist
neuer
receyue

The
thrid
tyme
he
sent
to
them
and
prayde
them
to
receyue
him
and
his
people
/
&
not
to
forsake
them
in

And
they
sayde

Thowe

therfore
we
shall
not

rather
dryue

And
soo
forsakyn

Valery

But
goo

ON
a

it
befell
that
an

pleded
so
longe
a
geynste
a
Boore
that
by
longe
contynuance
the
horse
becam
so
poer
that
he
was
nat
able
to
mateyne
his
plee
for
lacke
of
money
or
goodes
/
for
all
his
substance
was
spent
&
gone
&
he
sought
his
frendis
/
Than
he
went
to
the
Mule
&
prayed
hym
with
great
lamentacyon
to
lend

the
whiche
he
dyd

wherwith
the
horse
wan
his
plee
&
recouered
all
his
costys
and
damages
/
with
habundance
of
great
goodes
.
Thus
whan
all
his
care
was
past
and
he
beinge
ageyn
in
his
prosperyte
/
the
Mule
come
vnto
hym
&
required
his
lendt

/
the
whiche
with
a
mockynge
maner
The
horse
that
was
inflamyd
with
ire

falshede
/
callyd
to

The

that
all

The

The
asse
was
imprisonyd

The
horse
was
constraynyd
by
greate
rygowre
to

so

remaynyd
in
