The

Ecclesiastes
consideringe
the
miserye

that

And
all

saith
the

that
there

May

And
so

For
god
our

distroyed

alle
the

the
flode

noe

it

Also
we
ought
to
knowe
that
god
hath
nat
wasted

distroyed

other
kyngis

princis
ded
waste

distroye
the
landes

god
hathe
distroyed

was
entred

also
he
hath
displeasure

all

touches

is
ꝑticipant

And
so
ought
we
to

dothe

Thirdely
this

self
thinge
is
shewed
in
that
almighty

first
begynninge
cast

out

And
god
seyng
yet
that

continued

he

Discended

shalle
caste

depe

Fourthly
it
is
to
shewe

god
souerainly
hathe

open
detestacion

this
similitude

for
the
good
moder
hathe
inwardly

the
whiche
she
shold
put
her
son
in

neuer
take

out

So
in
lyke
wise
is
it
of
almighty
god

For
not
withstandinge
he
hathe
loued
his
children
with
so
brennynge
loue

That
for
theym
he
had
wyll
to

when
the
day
of
Iugement
shall
comme

shall
condempne
theim
in
to
euerlastinge
fyre

he
fynde
in
theym
one
only
mortall
synne

And
thou
pore
synfull
soule
then
for
so
moche
that
thou
seest

vnderstandeth
howe
moche
almighty

hateth

and
hath
abhomynacion
of

if
thou
wyll
please
hym

thou
oughtest
before
all
thy
workis

gyue

noo

thou
well
knowest

euyllis

Nowe
is
it
soo
then
that
synne

the
thinge

our
lorde

true
spowse

The
firste
is

that
pleasithe
hym
:
yf
it
hurte
not
the
soule

with
the
darte
of
deadly
synne
/
For
he
doth
as
the
birde
for
his
praye
.
He
sercheth
nor
askith
noon
other
thinge
for
his
refeccion
but
the
harte
/
In
lykewise
the
deuyl
asketh
of

no

but
the

/
The
secounde
thinge
is
that
the
deuyl
aboue
all
desireth
and
loues
synne
/
For
his
contynuall
temptacion
/
For
in
commyttyng
of
synne
/
he
was
neuer
wery
ne
ouer
traueled
.
For
he
hath
ben
purchasynge
synne
by
the
space
of
.vi.
M.
yere
&
more
/
and
neuer
was
wery
nor
fatigate
/
but
alwaye
sercheth
&
enquireth
the
new
maner
to
make
the
creatur
to
commytte
synne
.
For
as
it
is
written
in
the
first
chapitur
of
Iobe
that
when
almighty
god
asked
of
the
deuill
from
whens
he
comme
he
answered
that
he
had
circuyed
all
th
erth
/
The
whiche
is
a
signe
he
occupyed
alway
to
moue
synne
/
&
neuer
can
take
rest
/
&
for
this
cause
is
the
auctorite
folowyng
taken
in
the
boke
of
Iobe
in
the
.iii.
chapitour
saiyng
in
this
maner
/
they
that
deuoure
me
slepith
not
.
The
thirde
signe
wherby
it
may
be
knowen
that
the
fende
is
souerainly
pleased
with
synne
For
so
moche
he
was
neuer
satisfied
with
synne
/
not
withstanding
that
he
hath
by
sinne
deuored
infinite
thousandꝭ
of
men
/
&
yet
is
he
alwaies
hungry
as
the
ragious
lion
euer
seching
how
he
may
deuoure
moo
/
And
as
saint
Peter
saithe
he
is
not
only
hungry
of
mete
but
with
that
he
thurstith
for
drynke
/
wherof
saith
Iobe
the
flode
is
horrible
and
the
deuyll
merueleth
not
therof
/
for
he
hathe
trust
that
the
flode
of
Iordane
shall
entre
in
to
his
throte
that
is
to
say
in
to
hell
/
and
the
flode
that
the
deuell
so
swaloeth
without
meruelinge
is
the
synnes
commynge
day
/
and
night
in
to
the
swallowinge
of
hell
/
the
whiche
he
desireth
souerainly
to
deuour
/
And
more
clerly
to
proue
that
the
deuyll
takith
in
synne
his
dilectacion
we
haue
an
example
in
the
lyf
of
faders
/
in
the
chapitour
of
deuylles
.
how
one
of
theym
a
monge
other
was
praysed
and
honored
of
his
prynce
of
deuyllꝭ
/
&
was
set
in
a
chayre
bifore
all
other
/
in
signe
of
victorie
Bicause
that
he
had
led
/
&
brought
to
the
synne
of
fornicacion
a
monke
/
the
whiche
by
the
space
of
.lxiii.
yere
before
he
myght
not
drawe
to
synne
/
Nowe
therfore
synful
soule
wepe
bitterly
/
as
longe
as
thou
hast
reioyced
against
the
?
thy
enmies
.
That
is
to
knowe
the
fendis
/
whom
thou
hast
reioyced
/
as
many
tymes
as
thou
hast
mortally
synned
/
And
for
the
tyme
to
come
?
order
the
by
pure
confession
/
&
worthy
satisfaccion
?
to
make
thy
lorde
god
Ioye
in
the
/
with
all
his
aungellis
.
for
as
saith
saint
Luke
in
his
xv
.
chapitour
/
the
aungellis
of
heuen
reioyces
theym
.
when
a
synner
is
conuerted
and
dothe
penaunce
/
Thrydely
thou
oughtest
studiously
to
flee
&
withstand
synne
/
for
it
annoyeth
the
/
&
is
more
contrary
to
the
then
any
other
thynge
/
in
somoche
that
by
synne
we
beparted
frome
the
loue
of
god
/
&
be
made
his
enmyes
.
as
saith
the
prophete
Isaye
in
his
.xix
chapitour
Oure
iniquities
hath
put
deuision
bitwene
god
&
vs
/
And
our
synnes
hath
withdrawen
his
face
frome
vs
/
that
is
to
say
frome
our
vision
.
For
there
is
noon
in
paradise
so
iuste
nor
so
holy
?
if
he
commytted
synne
?
but
a
noon
he
shulde
fall
in
to
he
.
and
lese
the
loue
of
god
/
to
the
whiche
purpose
saithe
saint
Augustyne
/
he
that
commytteth
faulte
or
synne
agaynst
his
true
and
moste
true
frende
?
ought
to
be
reputed
greatly
reprouable
Nowe
then
it
behoueth
the
to
knowe
and
vnderstond
that
by
a
more
stronge
reason
he
that
commyteth
faulte
or
synne
against
the
souerayn
&
debonayre
all
mighty
god
?
ought
well
to
be
reputed
and
of
al
holden
abhomynable
.
Fourthely
it
is
to
knowe
that
by
synne
the
synner
is
Iuged
to
the
Iebet
of
hell
/
&
for
so
moche
as
the
lawe
of
god
is
not
farre
different
fro
the
lawe
of
man
?
Therfore
in
lyke
maner
al
the
brekers
of
the
lawe
of
man
?
whiche
dothe
trespace
againste
the
kingis
Royall
magestie
?
be
worthy
to
deth
/
and
ought
to
be
punysshed
corporally
.
So
in
sembliable
wyse
the
pore
and
miserable
synners
:
whiche
haue
offended
not
oonly
the
temporall
prince
:
but
to
the
heuenly
kinge
:
ought
well
to
be
condempned
&
to
be
hanged
in
hell
perpetually
/
as
it
is
written
in
the
boke
of
Esdras
the
.xiiii.
chapitour
/
And
in
lyke
wyse
in
decre
of
daryous
/
in
the
whiche
he
saith
thus
/
it
oughte
to
be
shewed
that
who
so
euer
trangresseth
&
breketh
the
lawe
yeuen
&
written
as
touchyng
the
synne
of
commyssion
:
or
ellis
dispises
it
:
as
touchinge
the
synne
of
omyssion
:
they
ought
to
take
of
the
propre
wode
that
is
to
say
of
the
gardeyn
of
their
propre
conscience
/
for
in
the
consciens
growyth
a
tree
wheron
the
synner
is
hanged
/
and
his
gode
dedes
be
forfeated
and
ascribed
/
For
by
cause
he
hathe
offended
and
dispised
the
lawe
of
his
prince
.
¶
Also
in
lyke
wyse
the
punysshemente
of
synnes
in
wicked
creatures
:
retourneth
to
the
glory
of
the
heuenly
kinge
as
the
rewarde
of
glorie
is
Ioyfull
to
hym
:
of
theym
that
be
gode
.
So
mayste
thou
se
that
the
lawe
of
man
doth
bodely
/
&
the
lawe
of
god
doth
spiritually
/
&
that
same
almost
is
redde
in
the
.vii.
Chapitour
of
hester
/
where
it
is
said
/
take
a

in

/
so
as
it

chapitour
of

synne
/
maketh
man
pore
and
miserable
/
for
truely
the
synner
ought
well
to
be
called
pore
whan
he
hath
no
thinge
but
hath
lost
him self
by
dedly
synne
/
and
frome
fredome
is
entred
in
to
the
seruytute
of
the
deuyll
/
yet
ought
the
synner
to
be

for
he

no

beynge
in
suche
astate
/
nor
may
do
any
workes
meritorious
or
agreable
to

&
finably

may
be

for

hym
any

that

for
it

to
the

for
he
hathe
no

the

wherof
Boice
saith

an

For
man
by

is
departed
from

For
as
it
is

They

And
as
the
psalmyste
saith
/
they

/
And
therfore
they
walke
in

to
this
purpose
saith
saint
Ierome
/
The
soule
polluted
by

?
is
depryued

beaten
downe

to
th
ende
that
he
is
not

/
And
it
is
to
be
knowen
that
synne
is
as
the
rotennesse

for
as
the

taketh
frome

So
dothe

of

the
colloure

with

wherfore

well
may

he
that

ledeth
a
more

then
is
the
myere

of

And
saint
Augustyne
saith

recitith
/
that
it
is
a
more
swete
odour
to

to
smell
a
nold

then
is
a

of

spekith
saint

whiche
he
made

A

in

Now
aduise
&
consider
poure

miserable
synner

what
auayleth
to
the
thy

Arte

And

Nowe

O

Sixtely
it

that

And

A

Iuste

yf

he

For
as
sone
as
he
yeueth
hym
to

:
he
is
conuerted
to
a
brute
beest
/
And
the
phelosopher
in
his
Ethiques
saith
/
That
he
is
not
oonly
a
beest
but
worse
&
more
detestable
then
a

.
To
the
whiche
accordith
Dauid

and
is
made
to

.
for
the
.vii.
and
laste
poynte
it
is
to
be
noted
/
that
of

is
borne
deuilles
seruitude
.
wherof
writeth
saint
Iohn
in
his
firste
Canonique
in
his

Chaptour
:
he
that
maketh

commytteth
synne

is
seruaunte
to

wherfore
all
theis
thingis
considered
:
thou
pore
soroufull

haue
mercy
and
pytie
of
thy

.
and
haue

butte
remembre

And
that

¶
Nowe
thenne
I
praye
the
pore
synfull

knowe
the
noblenes
of
thy

and
howe
greate
and
greuous
hathe
be
the
woundes
of
her
comytted
by
synne

For
the
whiche
of
necessite
the
sonne
of

hathe
suffered
soo
greuous
passion
.
For
certaynly
yf
the
woundes
of
thy

had
ben
mortall
:
the
sonne
of
god
had
neuer
suffered
deth
for
their
remedy
wyll
not
then
to
desoule
and
disprayse
.
when
thou
seest
&
knowest
that
his
right
highe
mageste
hathe
had
so
moche
pytye
and
compassion
of
his

And
saith
it
is
soo
that
he

Behold
not

that

For

For
as
saithe
saint
Ierome
in

that
he
wrote
to
Susanne
saynge
thus
/
penaunce
is
to
the
synner
necessarie

and
ought
to
be
so
moche
/
that
it
be
sufficient
for
the
cryme

or
for

more
meryte
that

And
as
saint
Augustyne
saythe
who
that
wyll
be
saued
/
it
behoueth
hym
and
is
to
hym
necessarie
:
ofte

where
with

defilyde
hym selfe
frome

:
But
perauenture
thou
that

wyll
say

Thy

that
thou
sayste
to
me
in
aduising

me
semeth

For
I

Alas

herkyn
the

Doctrine
not

of
holy
saint
Ierome

that
saith
in

maner
.
It
is
inpossible
that
a

may
vse

Ioye
the
goodes
of

worlde
here
:
in

And
after
this
worlde
thinkith
to

the

for
he
can
not

and
haue
the
greate
glory
in

The
whiche
sentence
confermeth
sancte
Gregory
saiyng
thus
:
many
there
be
that
couite
and
desyre
to
flee
frome
the
presente
exile
of
this
wolde
/
in
to
the
glory
and
Ioye
of
paradise
:
but
yet
wolde
they
not
leue
their
worldly
delitis
/
the
grace
of
our
lorde
Ihu
calleth

/
But
the
cursed
concupiscence
of
this
worlde
reuoketh
and
with
draweth

¶
They
wolde
gladly
dye

right
wyse

but
they

And
therfore

To

O

the
lyfe

conuersacion
of
glorious

Iohn
Baptiste
/
whiche
strayte
lyfe

conuersacion
:
is
to

not

the
verie
messenger
of
eternall
deth
Alas
we
pore
miserable

vnresonable
bestis
and
wormes
of
th
erth
:
wherfore
be
we
proude
/
dispyteous

displesaunt
to

sith
that
we
see
that
he
that
amonge
al
men

the
moste
greate
:
hath
wylled
his
holy
body

&
Innocent

to

And
we
desyre
to
clothe

anourne
our

with
precious

/
And
the
good
holy
saint
:
had
none

clothinge
to
his

but
the
harde
sharpe
skynne
of
a

&

miserable
synner
:
Oughtest
thou
then
flee
doynge
of
penaunce
&
folowe
worldely
pleasures
:
I
I wys
nay
/
for
certainly
it
is
not
the
way
to
paradise
/
and
more
to
moue
thyne
herte
to
penaunce
and
to
flee
the
delitis
of
this
worlde
:
remembre
the
of
the
euil
Riche
man
/
that
was
lord
and
maister
of
so
great
Riches
/
and
was
dayly
clothed
with
precious
habitis
/
of
purpyll
/
the
whiche
/
not
withstandyng
all
the
delitys
that
he
hadde
in
this
worlde
:
after
his
mortall
lyf
was
passed
:
might
not
atteyne
to
haue
in
the
necessyte
of
his
brennynge
&
heate
one
oonly
drope
of
water
/
for
to
refresshe
and
coole
his
tunge
¶
Therfore
remembre
these
thyngꝭ
dere
frende
&
do
penaunce
whyle
thou
hast
tyme
&
space
/
&
trust
not
to
moche
of
length
of
dayes
/
For
thoughe
almighty
god
haue
promiside
pardone
and
mercy
to
them
that
wyll
do
penaunce
/
he
hath
not
promisyd
them
certayne
tyme
to
leue
/
nor
yet
a
daye
houre
ne
mynute
.
And
if
thou
wylte
knowe
what
is
penaunce
I
say
vnto
the
it
is
wepyng
teares
of
contricion
for
thy
synnes
passed
/
with
fyrme
purpose
neuer
to
commytte
them
more
/
For
as
saith
saint
Augustine
the
penaunce
is
vayne
:
whiche
synne
folowynge
defilith
.
And
the
wepyng
no
thinge
profetith
whenne
they
retourne
agayne
to
synne
.
Nor
to
aske
pardon
of
god
:
&
wyll
to
falle
agayne
to
synne
.
And
for
more
declaracion
thou
ought
to
knowe
&
note
that
ther
be
thre
maners
of
penaunce
/
that
is
contricion
with
harte
/
confession
with
mouthe
/
and
Satisfaccion
with
warkis
/
For
that
thre
maners
we
offend
god
that
is
to
knowe
.
The
delectacion
of
thought
by
inprudence
of
wordes
/
and
by
warkis
of
pride
/
and
for
that
/
that
by
the
contrare
it
muste
be
curide
:
we
muste
make
satisfaccion
to
god
in
thre
other
maners
/
puttinge
contricion
againste
the
delectacion
of
synne
/
confession
againste
inprudence
of
wordes
/
Satisfaccion
against
the
warkis
of
pride
.
Nowe
see
thou
firste
what
is
contricion
/
Contricion
is
a
sorowe
wilfully
taken
for
synnes
commytted
and
done
/
with
full
purpose
to
abstaine
to
make
true
confession
&
dewe
satisfaccion
/
&
as
saith
saint
Barnard
the
sorowe
ought
to
be
in
iii.
maners
/
that
is
to
say
sharpe
/
more
sharpe
/
and
sharpest
/
Right
sharpe
:
for
cause
we
haue
offended
oure
souerayne
lorde
god
creator
of
all
thingꝭ
.
And
more
sharp
:
for
we
haue
inpungued
our
celestiall
fader
that
so
swetly
hath
norisshed
&
fedde
vs
/
And
in
that
we
so
haue
offended
him
:
we
may
be
reputed
wors
then
doggis
/
for
the
doggis
of
their
nature
:
louyth
&
folowes
them
that
norissheth
&
fedith
them
.
Thirdly
contricion
ought
to
be
moost
harde
and
sharpe
:
For
so
moche
that
in
commytting
synne
we
offende
god
.
And
crucifie
&
tourment
our
redemer
/
that
hath
bought
vs
with
his
propre
blode
:
and
delyuered
vs
from
the
bondes
of
synne
/
&
hath
deliuered
vs
frome
the
cruelte
of
deuyllꝭ
/
and
the
paynes
of
hell
/
wherfore
we
ought
to
haue
sorowe
and
displeasūce
of
thre
thingis
.
¶
That
is
to
witte
of
synne
commytted
by
good
dedes
lefte
and
tyme
loste
as
spekith
saint
Augustyne
saiynge
contricion
of
harte
is
more
worth
:
then
all
the
pylgrimagꝭ
of
the
worlde
/
&
in
a
clause
made
vpon
the
psalme
Ad
dumm
cum
tribularar
.
It
is
saide
god
can
not
despyse
ne
withstande
the
repentaunce
of
a
contrite
harte
:
that
with
verie
contricion
besechith
his
mercy
/
And
in
lyke
wyse
saith
saynt
Iohn
Crisistome
/
Contricion
is
that
oonly
thinge
that
makith
a
soule
to
hate
the
fresshe
habitis
/
and
maketh
hym
redy
to
loue
sharpe
clothinge
of
hear
/
to
loue
tearis
/
to
hate
and
flee
plesauntis
and
laughingis
/
for
there
is
noo
thinge
that
so
conioyneth
and
vnityth
the
soule
to
god
:
as
the
tearis
of
a
penytente
.
¶
And
to
the
contrarie
saythe
saint
Augustyne
we
maye
not
yeue
the
deuyll
morre
sharpe
sorowis
:
then
to
heale
oure
woundes
of
synne
by
confession
and
penaunce
.
But
alas
howe
be
it
that
by
penaunce
and
contricion
we
may
gett
so
moche
weale
:
And
yet
fewe
folkis
be
that
wolde
do
penaunce
/
¶
wherfore
thus
oure
lorde
complaineth
him
/
spekinge
by
Ieremye
/
there
is
no
man
spekyth
that
good
is
:
nor
that
wolde
do
penaunce
for
synne
commytted
and
done
.
The
secounde
that
is
to
saye
confession
is
laufull
and
sufficient
occasion
and
declaracion
of
synners
trespace
/
byfore
the
preest
:
For
this
worde
confession
is
as
moche
to
saye
/
as
an
hole
shewinge
or
shewinge
of
alle
to geder
.
For
he
truely
confessithe
hym
hoilly
:
that
saithe
all
/
Confession
also
as
saith
Isodore
in
the
boke
of
his
ethimologies
/
is
that
thinge
by
whiche
the
secreat
sekenes
of
the
soule
vnder
hope
of
pardone
&
mercye
is
made
open
to
the
praysinge
of
god
/
of
the
vertu
of
whiche
saint
Ambrose
vpon
the
psalme
beati
inmaculati
saith
:
the
vengaunce
of
god
seassith
:
yf
mannys
confession
make
hym selfe
clene
.
And
Cassidore
vpon
the
psalme
of
.
Confiteantur
tibi
populi
deus
saithe
/
that
god
is
not
as
Iuge
/
But
as
an
aduocate
for
them
that
by
true
confession
condemneth
and
yeldith
them selfe
gilte
:
And
pore
leo
saith
that
the
synne
abidith
not
to
condempne
man
in
iugement
whiche
by
confession
hathe
bene
purged
.
And
saint
Augustyne
in
the
boke
of
penaunce
saith
confession
is
the
helthe
of
soule
/
the
mynyshere
and
consumer
of
synne
/
restorer
of
vertues
/
¶
And
the
withstander
and
ouercomer
of
the
deuyll
/
&
what
more
/
confession
shettꝭ
the
gates
of
hel
/
And
openith
the
gates
of
paradise
/
And
for
theis
forsaide
causis
right
dere
frende
truste
the
counsaile
of
Isaye
.
Tell
thyn
iniquite
so
as
thou
maist
be
Iustified
For
the
begynnynge
of
Iustice
is
confession
of
synne
:
wherfore
it
behouith
to
confes
the
of
all
thy
synnes
holy
of
the
whiche
thou
canste
knowe
any
remembraunce
to
one
preest
whiche
hath
power
to

the
/
so
that
thou
telle
not
parte
of
thy
synnes
to
one
preest
:
&

For

for
as
saith
saint
Barnard
/
he
that
deuidethe
his

to

confessours
:
hath
no

/
For
it
is
detestable
faynyng
of
hym
/
that
deuideth
&
withholdeth
his
synne
frome
shewing
the
verray
profoundenes
of
his

enteerly
.
And
they
that
makith
suche

receiueth
excommunicacion
for
absolucion

&
malidiccion
for

Sushe
diuisions
&
confessions
is
made
by
ypocrisie
For
they
shewe
their
greate
greuous
synne
to
the
prestis
which
they
know
not
.
And
to
thyem
that
be
of
their
familier
knowlege
:
they
shewe
their
most
light
synnes
/
wherof
saith
saint
Augustine
as
it
is
written
in
the
decree
/
He
that
deuideth
his
confession
is
not
to
be
praysed
in

For
he
kepith
counsaill
frome
the
on
/
that
he
sheweth
to
the
other
/
the
whiche
thinge
he
dooth
by
maner
of
ypocrisie
/
to
th
entent
to
be
praysed
.
Nowe
lette

of

the
whiche
Saint

Diffynyth
in

Satisfaccon

saynt
Gregorye
saithe
we

And

Farthermore
it
is
to

that

that

almes

in

To

for

declaracion

somwhat
of

Almes
is
as
moche
to
saye
after
the
maner
of
spekinge
:
as
commaundemente
of

.
And
in
this
maner
ought
this
worde
to
be
written
Elemosina
by
E
and
some
tyme
they
write
Elimosina
by
I
then
is
it
asmoche
to
saye
as
the
commaundemente
of

/
For
he
hym selfe
commaunded
it

wherof
saithe
Ieremye

yeue

and
all

shal
be

pure

clene
/
Or
thirdly
Almes
may
be
said
after
sume
the
water
of

/
for
as
water
quencheth
fyre
of

dede
quencheth

wherfore
it
is
to

that
thre
thingꝭ
principally
ought
to
moue

to
do

accomplisshe
almes
/
and
werkis
of

.
¶
The
fyrste
is
/
for
mercy
bieth
agayn
the
gilte
of
synne
/
for
so
moche
as
it
is
wirtten
in
the
prouerbe
in
the
.xvi.
Chapitour
/
by
mercy
vanite
&
iniquitie
is
bought
agayn
/
And
danyell
resitith
in
his
xiiii
.
chapitour
speking
of
a
woman
that
put
in
all
the
vessellis
that
she
hadde
a
lytell
quantite
of
oyle
.
And
a
noon
the
oyle
grewe
in
suche
maner
that
she
paide

pacified
her

.
The
vessellis
of
the
woman
/
betokeneth
the
poore
people
whiche
we
sholde
call
in
to
oure
housis
:
For
as
saith
Isaie
in
his
.liii.
chapitour
lede
and
calle
the
poore
to
thy
house
and
kepe
theym
:
And
with
that
thou
haste
:
that
is
to
saye
distrybute
parte
of
thy
substaunce
to
this
pore
vessels
/
moche
lyke
to
that
saith
Thobye
yf
thou
haue
lytell
to
yeue
yet
study
to
yeue
and
departith
the
pore
wyllingly
/
For
then
shall
growe
the
oyle
of
mercye
/
when
by
gracious
meritis
.
the
synfull
soule
hathe
made
satisfaccion
to
god
for
his
synnes
.
¶
The
secounde
thinge
that
ought
to
meue
vs
to
yeue
almes
is
/
for
it
encreases
and
multiplyes
the
temporall
goodes
/
as
saithe
saint
Gregory
in
his
dialoge
/
worldly
substaunce
be
multiplied
.
For
so
moche
as
they
be
destribute
and
yeuen
to
the
poore
.
we
haue
example
in
the
thirde
booke
of
kinges
in
the
xvi
.
chapitour
of
the
widowe
that
fedde
healy
/
to
whome
almighty
god
multiplied
booth
brede
and
oyle
/
wherby
it
is
vnderderstande
that
more
is
to
almous
prouffitable
to
theym
that
fedeth
the
pore
:
then
to
the
pore
that
receyueth
it
.
¶
Thirdly
wherfore
we
ought
to
doo
almes
and
werkes
of
mercy
is
:
for
that
/
that
almous
kepeth
the
almes
yeuer
/
of
the
houre
of
dethe
/
and
ledeth
with
clernes
and
Ioye
his
soule
to
the
Realme
of
heuen
.
And
therfore
saith
saint
Ambrose
/
that
mercy
is
the
oonly
helpe
to
theym
that
ben
passed
.
¶
O
what
felyshyppe
is
it
of
almes
to
hym
that
dyeth
/
leue
not
then
so
trewe
and
soo
goode
a
seruaunte
/
nor
put
suche
an
aduocate
behinde
thy
backe
/
ne
doo
not
as
they
that
in
their
lyfe
withholddeth
their
goodes
by
suche
brennynge
Couetous
:
that
neuer
with
theyr
propre
handes
/
departed
almes
to
the

/
For
such
be
semblable
to
hym
that
for
to
see
clerly
his
wayes
berith
his
lyght
behynde
his
backe
/
but
doo
as
is
taught
to
the
by
Ecclesiasticus
/
saye
not
to
thy
frende
of
thy
soule
that
is
to
saye
to
Ihesu
criste
:
or
to
the
pore
that

aske

¶
My
frende
goo
and
comme
agayne
to

thenne
I
shall
yeue
the
/
All
be
it
that
that
thou
mayste
yeue
hym
.
whanne
he
askyth
it
.
¶
For
it
is
to
be
knowen
that
the
riche
of
whome
the
poore
asketh
almes
:
ought
to
consider
thre
thinges
Firste
who
it
is
that
asketh
/
for

hym selfe

so
moche
the

all
that

the
honoure
of
hym

he
repentis

¶
And
for
so
moche
as
it
is
wrytten
in
the
thirde
Chapitour
of
saynt
Mathewe
/
alle
that
ye
shall
doo
to
any
/
oon
of
the
leest
seruauntis
:
ye
doo
it
to
me
/
god
by
the
pore
demaundeth
almes
of
the
Riche
/
and
the
riche
demaundeth
of
god
the
realme
of
heuen
/
soo
that
the
riche
ought
well
to
drede
to
refuse
or
deney
his
almous
to
the
poore
/
leest
that
almyghty
god
wyll
deny
his
prayer
and
askynge
of
the
Realme
of

.
For
it
is
written
in
the
prouerbes
in

Chapitoure
/
He
that
closeth
his

the

comme
that
he

shalle
not

¶
Secoundly
/
the
ryche
shuld
well
consyder
what
thynge
it
is
that
god
asketh
when
by
his
poore
people
he
askethe
almous
/
Certaynly
he
asketh
noo
thynge
of

But
god
asketh
his

wherfore

may
welle
be
called

whanne

whanne

¶
Oo

For

¶
And
not

as
an

wyll
encreace
it

¶
O
poore

For

And
therfore
consider

I
derely
praye
the
assemble

and
by

make

in

and
make
not
thy

in

but
the
harte
of
a
couetous
man
is
as
a
pytte
withoute
a

.
The
more
it
receyueth
the
more
it
wolde
haue
And
yet
it
is
neuer
full

And
so
saith
Ecclesiasticus
in
the
.vii.
Chapitour
.
The
couetous
man
shall
neuer
be
fulfylled
with
money
/
for
the
herte
alwaye
folowith
the

/
sorowe
maye
be

that
in

exile
of

makyth
their

vppon
that
saith
crisostome
:
assemble
thy
substaunce
in

where
shal
be
thy

for
he
that
makith
his

And
beleue

that
the

:
is
oonly

The
goodes
be
not
a
mannys
whiche
he
may
not
guyde
ne
bere
with
hym
/
Now
vnderstand
the
fayre
auctorite
of
saint
Ambrose

he
saithe
that
noo

is
of
so
great
commendacion
towardes

the

I

I

that
wyllingly

excersised
the

And

precious

that
neuer

For
the
vertue
of
mercy
is
soo
great
/
that
without
that

alle

maye

And
howe
be
it
that
a

true

sobyre

garnisshed

adryched

yf
he

And
this

And
nowe

shall
retourne
to
the
purpose

where
it

sayde
:
he
that
takes
not
his

this

in

For

In

O

soo

¶
And
for
so
moche
as
it

chapitour
That
by
the
promission

Nowe
is
it
then
to
note

suche

is
full
euylle

And
yet
is
it
worse
/
For
it
is
also
agaynste
the

¶
And
more
euyll
it
is
against
the
souerayne
bountie
of
god
/
and
that
it
is
agaynste
right
and
reason
it
apperith
by
thre
ensamples
/
the
firste
example
is
:
that
who
that
hadde
.x.
asses
and
shulde
yeue
the
gretest
burthen
of
charge
to
bere
to
the
most
feble
:
he
shulde
do
agaynste
reason
and
good
Iustice
.
¶
And
so
wyll
he
that
oonly
wyll
yeue
to
hym
selfe
in
his
aige
the
charge
and
burthen
of
the
synnes
that
he
hath
commytted
in
his
youth
/
and
strengthe
/
for
thenne
he
yeueth
the
burthen
to
the
moost
feble
asse
:
that
is
to
say
to
the
debilitie
of
age
/
For
in
age
man
hathe
no
strength
ne
vertue
to
bere
labour
or
payne
.
And
they
that
so
differre
their
penaunce
:
deserueth
malediccion
of
god
as
it
is
written
in
zacaria
in
the
firste
chapitour
/
The
man
full
of
fraude
is
cursed
that
in
his
bestiall
lyfe
hathe
doon
many
euyllis
/
and
makyth
sacrifice
to
god
of
the
worste
/
and
the
moost
poore
amendemente

¶
And
in
lyke
wyse
is
he
cursed
that
in
the
delitis
of
this
worlde
passeth
the
tyme
of
his
youthe
and
strength
/
and
differreth
to
make
true
sacrifice
vnto
almyghty
god
:
tyll
the
tyme
of
feble
and
olde
aige
comme
vppon
hym
/
¶
And
therfore
sayth
Isodore
/
he
that
lyueth
the
conuenable
tyme
of
penaunce
/
It
shal
be
to
hym
but
as
voyde
thinge
to
comme
to
the
yate
of
god
to
praye
.
¶
The
secounde
example
is
/
that
he
that
in
hys
strength
and
power
is
not
hable
to
lyfte
a
ferdell
in
his
youth
:
and
whanne
he
commeth
to
feblenes
of
aige
thenne
wolde
take
vppon
hym
the
charge
:
myght
welbe
reputed
a
verye
foole
.
¶
So
in
lyke
wyse
is
he
that
in
his
youthe
whyles
strength
is
in
hym
:
woll
not
take
vppon
hym
the
dedes
of
penaunce
whiche
thenne
maye
be
to
him
light
.
And
hopeth
better
to
do
them
in
his
age
whanne
there
shall
be
augmented
in
hym
:
greate
debilite
and
feblenes
/
he
well
maye
be
resembled
to
a
fole
.
¶
wherof
as
it
is
sayde
in
the
lyfe
of
faders
that
one
went
and
kutte
a
fagotte
of
woode
and
thenne
assayed
to
lyfte
it
/
and
founde
it
to
heuye
.
¶
And
yet
he
wente
to
an
other
woode
and
putte
in
more
/
and
wolde
haue
lyfted
it
/
and
founde
it
so
moche
more
heuy
to
bere
/
¶
In
this
manere
doth
the
synners
whan
they
take
the
charge
of
synnes
and
leueth
to
do
penaunce
/
from
daye
to
day
puttynge
&
adioynynge
synne
vpon
synne
.
For
as
saith
saynt
Gregory
/
the
synnes
that
by
penaunce
is
not
purged
&
taken
away
:
of
his
nature
desyrith
and
drawyth
to
hym
other
synnes
.
¶
The
thyrde
example
is
/
he
that
all
his
lyfe
hathe
hadde
greate
study
and
cure
with
worke
men
to
prepayre
and
make
an
howse
in
the
whiche
he
neuer
hathe
purpose
ne
hoope
to
inhabite
ne
dwelle

¶
And
the
house
whiche
he
desyreth
to
dwelle
in
wolde
vtterly
distroye
to
his
power
:
It
were
a
iuste
cause
to
repute
hym
a
defamed
foole

Nowe
ought
men
then
to
knowe
and
vnderstande
that
so
is
it
of
the
synner
that
vnto
the
deth
desireth
to
tourne
hym
to
god
and
alwaye
desireth
and
coueteth
to
lyue
in
the
delytis
and
voluptuysnes
of
this
sorowfull
and
myserable
worlde
:
folowynge
euyll
companyes
/
by
the
whiche
he
hathe
greate
occasions
to
commytte
many
deedly
synnes
/
by
the
meane
wherof
:
He
all
the
tyme
of
his
lyfe
is
makynge
redy
and
prepayreth
his
house
in
helle
/
where
noo
man
shulde
wyll
to
dwelle
.
¶
And
therfore
ought
they
to
dred
and
doubte
the
sentence
of
sancte
Paule
/
who
saithe
/
he
that
gooth
and
dooth
agaynste
his
consciens
:
he
edifieth
hym selfe
an
house
and
lodgynge
in
helle
.
¶
And
for
to
shewe
and
proue
that
the
promyse
and
hoope
of
longe
lyfe
is
yet
more
euyll
agaynste
the
synner
.
¶
It
apperethe
and
is
to
vs
clerly
shewed
by
two
examples
.
¶
wherof
the
firste
is
he
that
shulde
desyre
rather
to
be
seke
thenne
hole
and
in
seruitude
rather
then
in
lybertye
:
and
to
haue
no
thing
leuer
then
to
possesse
his
parte
of
al
the
goodis
of
the
world
:
he
shuld
be
agaynste
hym selfe
In
lyke
condicion
is
the
synner
when
he
tarieth
to
do
penaunce
For
he
loueth
better
to
be
in
synne
whiche
is
the
spiritualle
sekenes
of
soule
.
And
not
oonly
sykenes
but
eternall
deth
.
Desireth
rather
his
dedly
sykenes
then
his
eternall
lyfe
/
wherby
it
clerely
apperith
that
of
the
obstinate
synner
it
ought
wel
to
be
sayd
that
he
is
euyll
againste
hym selfe
so
that
he
loueth
sekenes
better
thenne
helthe
and
deth
then
lyfe
/
seruitude
/
then
fredome
/
euyll
then
gode
/
As
saithe
saint
Iohn
in
his
canonique
/
He
that
doth
synne
is
in
the
seruitude
of
synne
/
And
saint
Augustyne
saith
that
a
man
good
iuste
/
and
trewe
.
Not
withstanding
that
he
be
in
seruitude
is
in
his
bounte
kepe
alway
free
and
in
his
fraunchies
/
But
the
euyll
synfull
man
not
withstandynge
he
reigne
and
be
dred
and
honoured
in
this
worlde
he
shall
alwaye
dwell
in
cursed
seruitude
/
and
that
worse
thynge
is
to
saye
:
as
longe
as
he
shall
endure
in
the
boundage
of
vices
and
synnes
He
shal
be
in
the
boundage
of
euyll
lordes
and
reulers
.
The
secounde
example
is
this
/
he
that
shulde
owe
a
greate
somme
of
money
to
a
vsurer
whiche
shuld
growe
and
be
augmented
from
daye
to
day
So
that
he
shulde
not
be
in
power
to
paye
it
but
wolde
euer
tary
as
longe
as
he
might
.
He
shulde
greatly
doo
agaynst
hym selfe
/
so
to
purpose
asmoche
more
as
the
synfull
man
shall
dwel
in
synne
:
so
moche
more
shalle
he
be
bounde
to
payne
wherof
it
is
written
in
the
booke
of
apocalips
in
the
.xvi.
chapitour
asmoche
as
the
synner
glorifieth
hym
in
his
delitis
soo
moche
more
he
yeueth
hym selfe
to
tourmente
wepynge
and
payne
.
¶
Thyrdely
the
promyse
of
longe
lyfe
is
ryght
euylle
and
daungerous
/
in
so
moche
as
it
is
agaynst
the
wyl
of
god
/
as
it
the
apperyth
by
.iii.
examples
/
the
fyrste
is
yf
it
were
that
a
yonge
man
were
impungnynge
and
contrarye
to
his
mayster
:
of
the
whiche
he
sholde
haue
alle
his
weall
by
the
space
of
his
lyfe
.
¶
And
that
he
thenne
lefte
his
propre
lorde
and
mayster
/
for
to
serue
the
Enmye
of
the
same
durynge
the
tyme
of
his

.
¶
And
whanne
he
shulde
comme
at
impotencie
and
be
atteynted
wyth
aige
and
feblenes
:
thanne
wolde
retourne
to
his
fyrste
maister
in

hym
his
seruyce

the
remmenaunte
of
his
lyfe
:
suche

euyll
and
vntrewe

/
and
noo
thynge
to
be
thoughte
agreable
to

In
this
maner

it
of

The

folowe
this
synfulle
worlde
fulfylled
with
alle
vices
/
To
the
whiche
purpose
it
is
sayd
in
ecclesiasticꝭ
in
the

Chapitour
.
He
that
toucheth
pitche
in
berynge
therof
:
shall
take

.
And
he
that

companyed
with

:
shal
fynde
some
apparell
or

of

.
¶
And
to
saye
the
trouth
:
It
is
a
thynge
Inpossible
that
he
abide
longe
in
good
werkes
that
often
frequenteth
with
euyll
parsones
.
And
for
so
moche
saith
the
psalmyste
/
with
the
hooly
:
thou
shalte
fynde
the
holy
/
and
with
the
euyll
:
thou
shalt
fynde
the
euyll
/
and
soo
as
euyll
conuersacion
is
noysaunt
and
hurtefull
:
right
so
is
the
good
company
good
&
profytable
/
for
he
that
fyndethe
good
companye
:
fyndeth
helthfull
lyfe
and
haboundaunt
in
riches
.
¶
And
for
a
true
declaracion
:
beleue
verayly
that
full
seldome
it
is
seen
:
butte
a
man
becommeth
good
or

:
after
the
company
/
where
he
is
enterteyned
/
¶
And
as
saith
Saint
Ierome
the
hartis
of
chyldren
is
as
it
were
a
cleane
pure
table
:
In
the
whiche
noo

¶
wherfore
it
is
a

:
that

be

¶
Thenne
lette
vs
withdrawe
frome
this

:
as
frome

For
in
this

is
there
not
a
worse
neyghbour
:
nor
that
so
moche
maye
annoy

:
as
the
affinite
and
affeccion
of
synnes
/
wherwith
this
worlde
is
replenysshed
.
¶
Secoundly
the
wyse
of
their
nature
withdrawith
&
departeh
frome
the
placis
where
they
haue
doubte
betrayed
/
solde
/
or
delyuered
to
the
handis
of
their
Enmyes
whiche
the
world
doth

wherfore
the
wordes
of
Iudas
that

:
is
propre
to

:
whiche
saide
he
that
I

for
he
is
that
I
shulde
delyuer

For
he
that

:
he
betrayeth

yeueth

¶
wherfore
thou
oughtest
well
to
note
that
in
this

there
is
noo
suertie
ne

/
For
as
saithe
saynt
Ierome
the
moste
greate

manifest
signe
of

:
is
to

and

therof
and
to

For
he

goeth
oute
of
the

of
Iustice
.
that
by
riches
and

enforsith
hym

¶
Thyrdly
the
wyse
withdrawith

frome
that

where
he
weneth

/
certainly
soo
is
the
worlde
a
place
right
ꝑlious
/
whiche
is
called
a

the

the

proueth

Soo

This

is
lyke
the
diluuie
where
fewe

be
saued
in

of

It
is
as

enbraced
with

wherfore
aboue

For
by
the

of

:
man

And

and
for

is
enbraced
with
the

of
couetous
concupiscence
.
¶
Fourthly
we
see
by

that

gladly
withdrawith
and
departith
frome

for

it

wherof
it
is
written
in
the

in

the

what

And
thou
shalte

that
the

of

is
noon
other

butte
donge

/
whiche
ought
to
be

The
Ioye
of
the

also
/
is
as
the
roten

of

For

that

the

of

be

¶
I
can

they

the

it

¶
For
the

we
ought
to
flee

the

of

:
for
it
is
right

and
neuer

But
falce
and

/
as
is
the

¶
The
smoke
is
of

nature
that

so

it
mynyssheth

In

The

So

that

They

and
their

:
in
a
shorte
season
/
and
lyke
wyse
in

they
be
departed

vanyshed
and
noon
is

for
it

&
deth

that

is
so
cruell
that
it

his

and
lawe
by
alle
the

is
so
comon

and
egall
:
that

¶
Thirdly
the
glory
of
the
worlde
is
to
be
fleed
for
it
is
right
falce
and
deceyuable
/
and
holdeth
to
noon
his
promise
/
not
withstandynge
that
it
maye
not
yeue
any
man
one
moment
or
space
of

/
yet
it
promiseth
man
suertie
of
lyfe
/
beholde
who
maye
compare
with
kynge
Alexander
/
and
with
the
glorye
that
he
had
in
the
worlde
he
lost
neuer
batayll
:
but
often
ouercome
gret
multitude
of
his
Enmyes
:
he
beseged
neuer
Cytie
but
he
wan
it
/
there
was
no
prouince
but
he
subdued
it
/
to
his
domynacion
yet
not
withstanding
all
his
might
/
at
the
hour
that
he
had
went
to
haue
ruled
and
gouerned
all
the
world
in
peace
:
by
a
lytell
venom
he
was
constrayned
to
dye
/
&
so
departe
/
and
leue
all
that
worldly
glorye
/
wherfore
man
doest
thou
folowe
the
Ioye
of
this
worlde
that
in
th
ende
maye
not
socoure
the
/
of
the
whiche
saith
Petir
blesense
in
a

/
the
falce
deceiuable
glory
of
the
the

:
abuseth

deceyueth
his

/
For
what
so
euer
he
promisith
for
the

to

or
what
so
euer
he
pretendeth
for
the
tyme
present
:
is
thynge
of
nought
/
soden
&
passable
as
water
Rynnynge
/
Fourthly
the
glory
of
the
world
is
to
be
dispised
and
fled
/
for
it
is
right
cursed
/
and
of
euyll
retribucion
/
it
ledeth
a
man
to
no
Ioy
but
to
all

/
of

the

in

For
it

then
a

And
for
more
greate
probacion
he
saythe

note
not
my

the

of
Ihesu

shalle
passe

my

Therfore
wake

that

and
with

that
ye

The

of
youre

shal
be

this
night
:
kytt
and
broken

your

in
hell
without

and
withoute

:
in
the
intollerable
and
miserable
tourmentꝭ
/
for
as
ye
haue
not
been
with
the
good
men
continuall
helpyng
in
labour
ne
suffered
them
to
lyue
by
their
labour
/
but
of
your
might
hathe
diffouled
and
extorted
them
:
so
shall
ye
not
only
be
intourment
wyth
men
:
but
perpetually
with
all
the
deuylles
in
hell
/
and
so
moche
more
as
ye
haue
hadde
Ioye
&
gladnes
:
so
moche
more
in

shall
be
prepared

and
more
shall
I
saye
you
our
sauiour

Ihu

Appostellꝭ
/
of
the
whiche
there
was
of
noble
lynage
but
only
one
/
whiche
was
saint
Barthelmewe
/
and
one
riche
:
that
was
Mathewe
/
and
al
the
other
were
pore
fisshers

leuynge
in

trauell
of

¶
Nowe
sith
it
so
is
:
that
god
is
iuste
and
true
:
and
all
thingis
procedinge
of
his
mouth
is
pure
trouth
:
veraily
I
thinke
with
gret
payne
amonge
alle
the
nobles
and
Riche
of
this
worlde
oon
might
be
founde
conuenable

worthy

but
enough
maye
be
founde
:
that
be
propre
and
conuenable
to
the
seruice
of
dampnacion
.
¶
And
for
a
lytell
whyle
beyng

in

they
shall
receyue
their

And
if
by
aduenture
:
any

derke

blynded
frome
the
true
lyghte
:
wolde
haue
meruayll
/
and
question
of
this
wordes
:
I
shulde
answere
in
this
maner
/
whether
we
beleue
that
for
one
deadly
synne
a
man
shall
be
damnyed
:
yf
he
dye
therin
/
is
to
be
answered
so
it
is

¶
wherby
it
is
to
be
concluded
that
thies
thingis
considered
amonge
an
hundred
thousande
wyth
peyne
one

maye
be

An
other

is
this
what
is
the

/
Truly
noon
other

butte

They
take
it
to

Butte
alas

dyeng

&
therfore
they
forse
not

alwaye
put
their
Tresoure

is
to

the

wolde

maye

that

conuenient

amonges

Therfore

all

The
enuy
of

shal
be
so
great
:
that
beinge
in
eternall
payne
they

Inuye
the
Ioye
of
theyr

A
questyon
myght
be
moued
whether
the
dampned
soules
wolde
haue
their
naybours
acquayntaunce
dampned
with
theym
aswell
as
alle
other
:
It
maye
be
answered
thus
/
that
they
be
not
so
enuyous
to
their
acquayntaunce
or
naibours
:
with
whome
they
haue
commytted
and
vsyd
sensuall
pleasures
and
delyghtis
in
the
worlde
:
as
they
be
to
all
other
/
wyllynge
to
haue
them
dampned
as
they
be
/
for
this
cause
.
If
their
companyons
shulde
be
dampned
as
they
be
:
theyr
tribulacion
shulde
be
encreased
accidentally
/
in
so
moche
as
they
that
be
dampned
:
were
parte
takers
with
their
acquayntaunce
of
theyr
pleasures
and
vicious
concupiscence
of
their
pleasures
and
vicious
concupiscence
in
the
worlde
:
they
must
of
equitie
be
parte
takers
of
their
payne
And
so
shuld
they
not
only
suffre
sorowe
for
theyr
owne
gilt
:
but
also
for
the
gylte
of
their
fellowes
/
and
acquayntaunce
/
An
example
is
put
of
the
dampned
riche
man
/
whiche
beynge
in
payne
eternall
desyred
that
his
brethern
a
lyfe
:
might
haue
knowleige
what
payne
he
endured
/
to
th
entent
they
myghte
haue
grace
:
to
saue
theym selfe
/
for
if
they
shulde
be
dampned
with
hym
:
whiche
was
the
cause
of
their
misdoynge
in
this
worlde
:
his
payne
shulde
be
increased
/
For
he
shuld
suffre
with
theim
parte
of
their
payne
/
And
though
by
the
multitude
of
the
dampned
soules
the
payne
of
iche
oon
of
theim
singularie
is
increased
:
yet
their
enuie
and
hatered
is
so
greate
:
that
they
couyt
more
to
suffre
tribulacion
and
tourmentrie
with
a
great
multitude
:
then
with
one
alone
/
For
it
is
a
comon
saiynge
wretches
be
glade
and
desirous
/
to
haue
fellawshyp
in

/
Aquestion
might
be
mooued
/
whether
they
that
be
dede
:
namely
that
be
dampned
:
may
know
or
haue
any
remembraunce
of
those
thyngys
that
they
had
knowlege
of
:
in
the
world
.
To
this
may
be
saide
/
that
in
the
dampned
soules
shal
be
a
consyderacion
of
thingꝭ
whiche
they
dyd
knowe
before
And
that
knowlege
or
considerasion
:
shal
be
as
amateriall
cause
of
their
sorowe
/
And
no

They
shall
also
consider
the

the

But
gooth

in

Saynt
Gregorye
askith
the
sayde
question
:
and
geuyth
solucion
to
it
on
this
manere
/
Almyghty
god
whiche
is
a
streyghte
Iuge
:
dooth
not
consider
the
wordes
of
men
oonly
:
but
also
he
payseth
the
hertys
.
And
so
it
is
:
that
yf
the
wykked
people
myght
lyue
in
this
worlde
euer
:
they
wolde
perseuerantly
contynue
in
their
wyckydnes
/
and
neuer
amende
them selfe
/
For
truly
they
that
neuer
wylle
leaue
synne
:
shewyth
and
desyryth
alwaye
to
lyue
in
synne
.
¶
Therfore
it
longyth
to
/
the
greate
rightwysnes
of
god
:
to
punysshe
them
by
eternall
payne
:
whiche
in
this
lyf
wold
neuer
be
out
of
synne
/
¶
And
that
noone
ende
of
payne
be
geuen
to
the
synfull
creature
:
that
whilis
he
lyued
in
this
worlde
:
wolde
haue
noone
ende
of

¶
And
other
reason
why
that
oon
deadly
synne
byndith
a
man
to
eternalle
payne
maye
be
taken
:
consyderynge
hym
to
whome
the
offence
is
done
/
whyche
is
the
god
of
all
goodnes
and
myght
.
¶
Therfore
the
offence
done
:
is
worthy
eternall
/
payne
/
For
as
aristotill
saith
in
the
.vii.
of
his
ethic
In
howe
moche
the
persone
is
greater
indignitie
to
whome
the
offence
or
trespace
is
done
:
so
moche
more
it
ought
to
be
punysshed
/
and
Crisostome
accordinge
to
the
same
saith
/
An
Iniure
or
wronge
done
to
a
persone
:
is
to
be
considered
as
the
persone
is
/
A
lytell
offence
done
to
a
great
persone
indignite
:
is
great

And
great

commytted
