[liberalltie is acertaine measure]

liberalltie is acertaine measure,
that springeth of fauour, friendship, and amitye,
in geuing, or receiuing, landes and treasure.
after a mans substaunce or habilitie.
but chiefly in comforting the poore needye.
for that is liberalitie in very deede,
to helpe the poore miserable in time of neede.
