[XLIIII. If in thine hart thou nourish will and giue all to thy lust]

If in thine hart thou nourish will and giue all to thy lust

If in thine hart thou nourish will and giue all to thy lust, then sorowes sharpe & griefes at length, endure of force thou must: but if that reason rule thy will, rule thy will, and gouerne all thy minde, a blessed life then shalt thou leade, then shalt thou leade, a blessed lyfe then shalt thou leade, and fewest daungers finde, daungers finde, and fewest daungers finde, and fewest daungers finde, and fewest daungers finde.
