[All ye whych be endewed wt]

All ye whych be endewed wt
ryches and tresure
Remēber your streate accōpt,

Be mercyfull to the neadye,
gyue Mammon wyth measure
To succour theyr wante, whō
ye ar bonden to tender
Be lyberall to gyue, and also
a free lender
Then be ye good Baylyffes,
and mynysters profytable
Else shal ye perishe, yf ye god
des worde do pounder
For hiding your talent, with
the seruaunte reprouable


Here endeth a smale treatyse named, the Daungerous, and Myserable Mammō.
