The summe of all.

[there is to mankinde no greater enemy]

there is to mankinde no greater enemy
and that more hindereth his estimacion
then the lothsome burden of bestly foly,
which plainly appeareth in eche condicion.
fooles are ouerthrowne with light affection.
and as corne vppon stones is all sowne in vaine,
euen so are good counsailes to a foolishe braine.
