up_o his_o eye_n and_o see_v abraham_n a_o far_o off_o and_o lazarus_n in_o his_o bosom_n of_o these_o in_o order_n and_o first_o in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n we_o note_v what_o this_o

hereof_o do_v not_o agree_v marlorat_n say_v quanquam_fw-la quibusdam_fw-la haec_fw-la simplex_fw-la parabo_n a_o esse_fw-la videtur_fw-la tamen_fw-la quia_fw-la bis_fw-la lazari_n nomen_fw-la

in_o naked_a truth_n i_o find_v and_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v these_o two_o first_o because_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n do_v relate_v a_o parable_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n that_o have_v a_o steward_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o he_o continue_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o open_v his_o mouth_n in_o parable_n according_a to_o the_o prophet_n i_o will_v open_v my_o mouth_n in_o parable_n and_o show_v dark_a sentence_n of_o old_a time_n second_o because_o the_o rich_a man_n cry_v out_o of_o hell_n unto_o abraham_n and_o abraham_n answer_v the_o rich_a man_n which_o needs_o must_v be_v understand_v parabolical_o for_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n can_v see_v nor_o hear_v the_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n neither_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n and_o also_o because_o of_o many_o sphere_n and_o or_o we_o that_o be_v betwixt_o heaven_n and_o hell_n neither_o shall_v they_o see_v or_o know_v what_o be_v do_v there_o and_o again_o abraham_n tongue_n be_v dry_a and_o eleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o mouth_n therefore_o he_o can_v speak_v so_o loud_o as_o to_o be_v hear_v out_o of_o heaven_n into_o hell_n therefore_o it_o be_v but_o a_o parable_n but_o here_o we_o fee_v first_o that_o the_o wicked_a be_v so_o little_o reflect_v with_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v so_o much_o as_o to_o name_v they_o i_o will_v not_o say_v david_n speak_v in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n make_v mention_n of_o their_o name_n within_o my_o lip_n and_o again_o such_o as_o be_v
