IV. On Worldly Worship.
Worldly worship is ioye transitory,Vnsure assuraunce, highnes declinable,
Vaynegloryous gladnes, flatery proditory,
Disceyt disceyvous ful dissymulable,
To mannys soule most preiudiciable,
In whiche who hym most surely assurith
In most vnsuerte perilously endurith.
Verbum Magistri I. Lidgate. quasi honor mundi.
