do_v hear_v and_o those_o the_o which_o do_v read_v this_o book_n to_o imitate_v and_o revolve_v with_o themselves_o that_o pride_n in_o the_o end_n have_v ever_o a_o fall_n as_o for_o example_n dionise_n the_o king_n of_o scicill_n be_v expulse_v dionysius_n out_o of_o his_o country_n for_o his_o intolerable_a pride_n and_o be_v fain_o to_o keep_v a_o grammar_n school_n in_o italy_n and_o so_o live_v beg_a for_o his_o bread_n and_o true_o these_o history_n which_o i_o do_v here_o recite_v may_v geve_v occasion_n unto_o we_o to_o dirrogate_v the_o horrible_a sin_n of_o pride_n for_o nothing_o can_v offend_v god_n so_o sore_o as_o a_o haughty_a heart_n and_o a_o proud_a presumptuous_a mind_n for_o i_o remember_v a_o old_a proverb_n a_o proud_a heart_n and_o a_o beggar_n purse_n can_v never_o agree_v he_o that_o be_v of_o small_a habillitie_n will_v think_v himself_o check_v mate_n with_o those_o the_o which_o be_v of_o a_o great_a reputation_n yet_o he_o will_v think_v himself_o that_o his_o reputation_n be_v coequal_a unto_o he_o thus_o be_v many_o in_o these_o day_n addict_v unto_o pride_n and_o prodigality_n and_o will_v never_o seem_v to_o show_v themselves_o humble_a and_o lowly_a but_o look_v stout_a and_o lusty_a as_o though_o that_o there_o be_v none_o equal_a to_o they_o perses_n king_n of_o macedonia_n be_v for_o perses_n his_o execrable_a pride_n envy_v and_o hate_v of_o all_o his_o kindred_n and_o they_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v take_v prisoner_n by_o paulus_n emilius_n who_o the_o say_v perses_n do_v war_n against_o and_o he_o be_v bind_v and_o lead_v prisoner_n yet_o his_o pride_n be_v so_o intolerable_a and_o odious_a to_o his_o nobility_n that_o his_o own_o son_n be_v afterward_o constrain_v destitute_a of_o friend_n to_o become_v a_o smith_n and_o so_o live_v in_o misery_n loe_o here_o we_o see_v that_o pride_n and_o prodigality_n do_v in_o the_o end_n bring_v man_n to_o utter_v desolation_n and_o not_o only_o he_o but_o his_o posterity_n and_o do_v thereby_o get_v perpetual_a shame_n and_o reproach_n and_o do_v reap_v hate_n and_o disdain_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o so_o in_o the_o end_n come_v to_o misery_n as_o these_o example_n do_v teach_v us._n tarquin_n be_v the_o last_o king_n of_o the_o lucrece_n roman_n and_o his_o pride_n be_v more_o cause_n of_o his_o exile_n and_o banishment_n they_o for_o the_o cause_n that_o his_o son_n ravish_a lucretia_n wife_n to_o colatinus_n in_o deed_n the_o ravish_v of_o lucretia_n be_v a_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v find_v a_o claw_n against_o he_o as_o thereby_o they_o do_v in_o deed_n and_o so_o they_o expulse_v he_o from_o all_o kingly_a authority_n and_o never_o after_o have_v king_n but_o be_v govern_v by_o consul_n and_o so_o they_o remain_v at_o this_o day_n thus_o we_o may_v behold_v and_o see_v that_o evermore_o the_o prodigal_a man_n be_v odious_a to_o his_o country_n and_o that_o he_o can_v obtain_v no_o favour_n nor_o friendship_n at_o his_o friend_n hand_n but_o shame_n and_o disdain_n for_o the_o original_n 4_o of_o pride_n come_v by_o cain_n when_o he_o disdain_v abel_n because_o god_n accept_v his_o brother_n abel_n sacrifice_n more_o better_a than_o he_o and_o the_o end_n of_o cain_n be_v misery_n and_o so_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o prodigal_a people_n the_o lord_n morton_n of_o dover_n in_o england_n example_n be_v a_o very_a proud_a and_o prodigal_a man_n and_o delight_v much_o the_o company_n of_o roister_n the_o which_o in_o the_o end_n do_v tear_v to_o his_o inconvenience_n as_o i_o will_v here_o recite_v he_o common_o frequent_v the_o gaminge_n house_n and_o do_v game_n and_o spend_v much_o and_o when_o that_o he_o have_v so_o continue_v the_o space_n of_o one_o or_o two_o year_n his_o wealth_n begin_v to_o fail_v he_o than_o he_o come_v to_o a_o abbot_n it_o be_v the_o abbot_n of_o malmsbury_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v remember_v by_o the_o story_n and_o to_o this_o abbot_n he_o make_v his_o moan_n and_o do_v show_v the_o cause_n how_o and_o after_o what_o fort_n his_o substance_n be_v consume_v then_o he_o the_o abbot_n say_v unto_o he_o go_v thy_o way_n thither_o again_o &_o look_v where_o thou_o do_v spend_v a_o shilling_n now_o spend_v twain_o alas_o quoth_v he_o i_o have_v it_o not_o to_o spend_v then_o say_v the_o abbot_n you_o may_v have_v tell_v i_o this_o when_o you_o have_v it_o and_o not_o now_o when_o it_o be_v go_v i_o have_v no_o other_o answer_n to_o make_v unto_o you_o then_o morton_n depart_v with_o a_o heavy_a heart_n and_o come_v to_o the_o house_n wherein_o he_o have_v spend_v his_o substance_n and_o find_v one_o of_o his_o mate_n there_o that_o have_v win_v his_o money_n and_o have_v be_v a_o procurer_n of_o he_o to_o spend_v when_o he_o see_v he_o his_o heart_n be_v freight_v with_o care_n remember_v the_o state_n he_o be_v in_o and_o the_o state_n of_o the_o time_n present_a do_v with_o his_o sword_n run_v he_o throw_v and_o so_o slay_v he_o and_o then_o he_o sit_v down_o and_o weep_v bitter_o and_o for_o sorrow_n slay_v himself_o lo_o see_v his_o miserable_a end_n this_o history_n i_o find_v write_v in_o a_o old_a book_n in_o westminster_n abbey_n which_o book_n be_v write_v by_o a_o monk_n of_o the_o same_o abbey_n i_o think_v that_o this_o story_n seem_v to_o be_v true_a for_o what_o care_n will_v soon_o pierce_v a_o man_n heart_n then_o when_o once_o he_o have_v obtain_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n and_o afterward_o fall_v to_o misery_n as_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n do_v 15._o teach_v we_o there_o of_o the_o prodigal_a child_n which_o spend_v his_o portion_n in_o riotousenesse_n and_o be_v never_o careful_a for_o to_o keep_v and_o save_v the_o same_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v obtain_v the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o a_o other_o day_n but_o riotous_o waste_v it_o what_o be_v his_o end_n the_o scripture_n do_v ostend_v he_o be_v fain_o to_o eat_v among_o swine_n oh_o miserable_a state_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n he_o repent_v and_o come_v home_o to_o his_o father_n again_o who_o receive_v he_o very_o love_o and_o do_v more_o rejoice_v in_o he_o than_o he_o do_v in_o his_o son_n which_o do_v not_o in_o such_o cause_n offend_v thus_o you_o may_v see_v always_o that_o prodigality_n do_v consume_v wealth_n good_a name_n and_o fame_n it_o abate_v honour_n it_o disgrace_v a_o man_n credit_n it_o cause_v hate_n of_o friend_n and_o reap_v the_o loss_n of_o favour_n yea_o and_o more_o all_o than_o this_o it_o draw_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o and_o make_v many_o thing_n dear_a which_o will_v be_v plenty_n it_o cause_v man_n to_o swerve_v from_o god_n it_o reap_v to_o they_o perpetual_a damnation_n for_o the_o proud_a heart_a man_n mind_v nothing_o but_o his_o pride_n the_o covetous_a man_n mind_v nothing_o but_o his_o wealth_n i_o compare_v pride_n and_o covetousness_n together_o because_o of_o all_o vice_n that_o be_v and_o be_v use_v none_o do_v more_o resemble_v one_o a_o other_o than_o these_o two_o for_o he_o that_o be_v proud_a be_v always_o covetous_a and_o greedy_a for_o to_o obtain_v wealth_n to_o maintain_v it_o the_o covetous_a man_n be_v proud_a in_o his_o heart_n though_o he_o do_v not_o show_v it_o exterior_o or_o outward_o but_o because_o that_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o pride_n and_o prodigality_n hitherto_o i_o will_v leave_v of_o to_o speak_v of_o other_o vice_n but_o touch_v they_o a_o little_a as_o occasion_n serve_v i_o but_o if_o i_o have_v a_o thousand_o tongue_n to_o speak_v withal_o and_o a_o voice_n as_o loud_a as_o brass_n i_o can_v not_o utter_v the_o vice_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o to_o the_o reproach_n of_o such_o as_o use_v they_o at_o this_o day_n but_o forth_o i_o will_v proceed_v as_o i_o have_v begin_v touch_v the_o fall_n of_o prodigality_n i_o find_v certain_a verce_n write_v by_o lampridius_n in_o latten_z i_o have_v english_v they_o somewhat_o effectual_o for_o my_o purpose_n though_o i_o have_v not_o place_v they_o in_o order_n as_o they_o be_v in_o latten_z ¶_o lampridius_n when_o youth_n begin_v to_o run_v the_o wanton_a race_n which_o vain_a desire_n provoke_v to_o ensue_v then_o vice_n to_o rest_n in_o he_o will_v find_v a_o place_n and_o cause_v he_o stray_v to_o be_v of_o virtuous_a crew_n pride_n first_o provoke_v he_o so_o for_o to_o ensue_v ▪_o then_o other_o vice_n follow_v fast_o by_o heap_n apace_o and_o so_o do_v man_n procure_v to_o run_v his_o wicked_a race_n likewise_o the_o same_o lampridius_n do_v show_v what_o damage_n ensue_v to_o those_o that_o be_v prodigal_a and_o more_o over_o he_o there_o do_v write_v of_o what_o disposition_n or_o nature_n he_o be_v of_o that_o be_v give_v to_o

a_o mediocrity_n not_o superfluous_a nor_o upon_o bravery_n to_o gain_v the_o name_n of_o a_o lyvely_a youth_n and_o some_o other_o exercise_n i_o do_v discommend_v because_o they_o be_v vicious_a now_o i_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o teach_v a_o man_n what_o exercise_n he_o shall_v use_v for_o that_o will_v i_o refer_v to_o his_o own_o discrete_a mind_n but_o i_o do_v show_v the_o enormity_n which_o ensue_v to_o those_o which_o frivolous_o do_v spend_v their_o time_n in_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n as_o in_o delighttinge_v in_o pride_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o mischief_n and_o in_o drunkenness_n for_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v drink_v they_o be_v then_o edict_v unto_o all_o mischief_n and_o other_o vice_n beside_o which_o i_o perceive_v that_o the_o world_n be_v give_v to_o therefore_o i_o will_v wish_v that_o this_o may_v be_v a_o reformation_n for_o those_o the_o which_o have_v hitherto_o lead_v their_o life_n in_o such_o wickedness_n and_o that_o they_o may_v henceforth_o frame_v their_o mind_n to_o the_o imitate_v of_o virtuous_a exercise_n &_o not_o to_o esteem_n the_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v but_o a_o vale_n of_o misery_n but_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o turn_v the_o stone_n into_o the_o water_n as_o to_o cause_v some_o of_o they_o to_o exterminate_v and_o cast_v of_o the_o use_n of_o such_o vice_n for_o they_o be_v so_o root_v in_o they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o part_n a_o sunder_o but_o now_o to_o proceed_v further_o let_v we_o see_v what_o worthy_a history_n the_o ancient_a historiographer_n have_v leave_v with_o we_o in_o learned_a book_n touch_v the_o fall_n of_o prodigality_n there_o i_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o herodotus_n a_o writer_n of_o history_n do_v pen_n in_o his_o book_n that_o sometime_o one_o hwa_n be_v dictator_n of_o rome_n this_o hwa_n have_v no_o more_o son_n but_o only_o one_o he_o be_v very_o careful_a for_o he_o and_o love_v he_o entire_o for_o as_o the_o story_n say_v that_o he_o do_v deck_v he_o up_o in_o costly_a array_n the_o fine_a that_o may_v be_v get_v and_o keep_v he_o at_o school_n but_o he_o be_v so_o pamper_a and_o nuzzle_v up_o in_o worldly_a profanity_n that_o he_o have_v rather_o mind_v on_o his_o prodigality_n then_o on_o his_o book_n and_o will_v rather_o exercise_v himself_o in_o diverse_a kind_n of_o game_n as_o disinge_v cardinge_v and_o other_o more_o which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v use_v but_o rather_o to_o be_v reject_v and_o so_o he_o continue_v the_o space_n of_o seven_o year_n in_o which_o time_n he_o have_v consume_v his_o father_n substance_n so_o much_o that_o his_o father_n do_v seem_v to_o withdraw_v his_o great_a love_n and_o good_a will_n from_o he_o and_o do_v keep_v he_o in_o so_o short_a that_o he_o can_v not_o have_v the_o value_n of_o one_o penny_n but_o his_o father_n will_v know_v how_o that_o it_o be_v bestow_v now_o this_o youthful_a son_n contrary_a unto_o his_o father_n will_n will_v privielye_o resort_v unto_o his_o old_a companion_n who_o company_n before_o he_o frequent_v and_o they_o give_v he_o such_o council_n that_o he_o will_v not_o seem_v no_o more_o to_o be_v keep_v in_o at_o his_o father_n pleasure_n but_o do_v show_v himself_o so_o obstinate_a that_o all_o his_o friend_n hate_v he_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o his_o father_n die_v and_o he_o possess_v his_o land_n and_o good_n &_o he_o through_o his_o companion_n enticement_n be_v seduce_v from_o all_o virtuous_a trade_n and_o lead_v his_o life_n in_o a_o most_o riotous_a rate_n and_o consume_v it_o clean_o when_o all_o be_v go_v and_o have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o maintain_v his_o former_a state_n his_o old_a companion_n which_o before_o have_v frequent_v his_o company_n forsake_v he_o clean_o and_o rather_o seek_v his_o destruction_n then_o for_o his_o prosperity_n and_o so_o in_o great_a misery_n he_o go_v beg_a his_o bread_n and_o at_o last_o fall_v to_o rob_v and_o so_o be_v take_v and_o accord_v to_o the_o law_n suffer_v death_n oh_o what_o avayled_a fortune_n which_o to_o he_o be_v incomparable_a for_o where_o that_o he_o have_v wealth_n and_o

where_o the_o mind_n be_v give_v to_o play_v prodigal_a part_n and_o desirous_a to_o go_v brave_a and_o to_o keep_v company_n with_o roister_n to_o be_v frank_a in_o expense_n to_o be_v free_a in_o

to_o brag_v or_o boast_n of_o his_o gentility_n all_o these_o vice_n do_v derogate_v virtue_n but_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o liberality_n proceed_v of_o a_o gentle_a heart_n as_o when_o he_o do_v give_v some_o thing_n for_o a_o recompense_n for_o gentleness_n or_o profit_n which_o he_o have_v find_v but_o yet_o it_o may_v digress_v from_o the_o bound_n of_o virtue_n in_o reward_v excescive_o or_o in_o prodigal_a expense_n or_o on_o other_o thing_n inconvenient_a of_o small_a importance_n in_o deed_n i_o must_v say_v that_o such_o errogation_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v the_o

then_o to_o civil_a demeanour_n now_o let_v we_o see_v far_o how_o they_o which_o have_v use_v prodigality_n be_v come_v to_o utter_v desolation_n jolas_n a_o lusty_a youth_n example_n dwell_a in_o
