Syth ye went haue they excercysed
Old crist.
yet was I neuer thus begyled
Good or.
Syr there hath ben here an vnthryfty company
Here was hasarder/here was pariury
And crakys and swerynge habomynably
And as soone as I came they dyd me defye
If I had not fledde I had ben slayne
Old crist.
But this case to me is more fayne
That these rebels be thus take
Than a busshell of golde were gyuen for my sake
Ryot
Now good syr forgyue me ones now
And I wyll neuer more offende
Glotonye
Nay do not so syr god defende
For I make to god auowe
The knaue wyll neuer amende
Old crist.
Neuer amende? why
Glotony
For syth that he was a chylde yonge
He hath be euer brought vp amonge
Ryotters and vnthryfty company
He can not leue it yf he sholde dye
Ryot
Thou lyest horesonne in thy hed
Thou hast vsyd so moche glotony
Eatynge and drynkynge abhomynably
Thou canst not leue it to lese thy hed
And thou horesonne broughtest me
Fyrst to thys perplexite
Therfore syr I praye you one thynge do

Old crist.
O meruelous god syrs beholde

Hym selfe to ryot and vnthryftynes
Or in youthe to be brought vp in lewdenes
For an euyll custome moche vsed

For what thyng a chylde in youth doth excercyse
Lyghtly in age he loueth the same gyse
And that hath made you syrs yt your customes olde

But I promyse you or I departe hens

To suche maner people as wyll come
Them to vyset whyle they were in pryson
Therfore my mynde/yf you vnderstande
Is for to banysshe them out of your londe
On thys payne/that yf they come agayne
wythout raunsom or grace to be slayne
Hym selfe to ryot and vnthryftynes
Or in youthe to be brought vp in lewdenes
For an euyll custome moche vsed
wyll be ryght harde to be refusyd
For what thyng a chylde in youth doth excercyse
Lyghtly in age he loueth the same gyse
And that hath made you syrs yt your customes olde

But I promyse you or I departe hens

Therfore good order shew thy best reason

Nother to pryson perpetually

In token you shall be banysshed englande
And to some hauen towne get you anone
And at the next passage loke ye be gone

Old crist.
Good order thys thynge is well orderyd

Another to eate or to drynke beyonde mesure
Or yf thou dyspoyle thy mete inordinately
Or yf thou apparayll thy mete to curyously
wyth sauce/or yf thou delyte thy selfe in deyntes
All these of glotony be very braunches
Iesu godd[OMITTED]nne, the great mayster of treuth
From the hye trone, whan he dyscended
For our redempcyon, and walkyd on erthe
xl. dayes and nyghtes no dout he fastyd
Nother mete nor drynke that whyle he tastyd.
This ensample proueth thys sentence trewe
That abstynence is a vonderfull vertue
Prayer.
That is trewe and spoken meruelous well
But yet souereyns all, I praye you take hede
To me prayer, and to me good counsell
For he that wyth me is vsually acquaynted
wyth god is conuersant, thys is vndouted
For of prayer, vera diffinitio
Est nisi in deum mentis eleuatio
But yet souereyns all, I praye you take hede
To me prayer, and to me good counsell
For he that wyth me is vsually acquaynted
wyth god is conuersant, thys is vndouted
For of prayer, vera diffinitio
Est nisi in deum mentis eleuatio
So prayer is/but the eleuacyon
Of mannes inwarde myndes to god on hye
And to remember by way of contemplacyon
His great goodnes, noblenes and power myghty
And the vanytes and vyces, whyche we vse dayly
And his great mercy, therfore to requyre
Thys is the trew prayer, that god doth desyre
For that whych men call the vocall prayer
As the vtterynge of wordes though it be regardyd
Myche before god yet euery where
To thys entent and purpose it is vsed
To cause mennys inward myndes to be mouyd
To celestyall thynges that hys mynde and thought
From worldely vanytes therby may be brought
Of mannes inwarde myndes to god on hye
And to remember by way of contemplacyon
His great goodnes, noblenes and power myghty
And the vanytes and vyces, whyche we vse dayly
And his great mercy, therfore to requyre
Thys is the trew prayer, that god doth desyre
For that whych men call the vocall prayer
As the vtterynge of wordes though it be regardyd
Myche before god yet euery where
To thys entent and purpose it is vsed
To cause mennys inward myndes to be mouyd
To celestyall thynges that hys mynde and thought
From worldely vanytes therby may be brought
And thou man, whiche to contemplacyon
Hast brought thy mynde, by suche prayer vocall
And to god fyxyd it/by suche medytacyon
Then art thou come to the thyng pryncypall
As the mentall prayer whych thyng aboue all
Is chyefely desyred of god alwaye
And thys wyse good peple/this lēt tyme shold pray
Hast brought thy mynde, by suche prayer vocall
And to god fyxyd it/by suche medytacyon
Then art thou come to the thyng pryncypall
As the mentall prayer whych thyng aboue all
Is chyefely desyred of god alwaye
And thys wyse good peple/this lēt tyme shold pray
And all ye syrs that now wyll take regarde
To this exhortacyon, no[OMITTED]e shall
In the celest[OMITTED]
To this exhortacyon, no[OMITTED]e shall
