¶_o the_o rote_n or_o myrour_n of_o consolacyon_n &_o comfort_n per_fw-la multas_fw-la tribulaciones_fw-la oportet_fw-la introire_fw-la in_o regnum_fw-la dei_fw-la ¶_o thus_o say_v the_o

god_n wherefore_o all_o those_o which_o intend_v to_o come_v in_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n must_v pacyent_o take_v temporal_a trybulacyon_n for_o that_o be_v the_o way_n thyder_n by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o those_o y_o it_o moest_fw-mi pacyent_o take_v there_o trybulaconn_v they_o shall_v have_v their_o moost_n consolacyon_n for_o say_v nt_v poule_n say_v in_o the_o second_o epystle_n to_o the_o corynthe_n ¶_o sicut_fw-la socu_fw-la sumus_fw-la passionis_fw-la sic_fw-la erimus_fw-la consolacionis_fw-la ¶_o that_o be_v to_o say_v like_a as_o we_o be_v partner_n in_o

of_o eternal_a joy_n but_o if_o it_o be_v pacyente_o take_v thus_o pacyence_n make_v trybulacyon_n profitable_a and_o the_o profit_n of_o temporal_a prosperyte_n come_v of_o the_o virtue_n of_o

prosperyte_n if_o thou_o ask_v i_o why_o our_o lord_n will_v gyve_v these_o temporal_a good_n to_o such_o as_o he_o know_v y_o it_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n and_o use_v they_o evil_n i_o answer_v one_o cause_n be_v to_o show_v his_o parfyte_n &_o habondant_a goodness_n which_o gyve_v good_a thing_n not_o only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v good_a but_o also_o to_o such_o as_o be_v evil_a &_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o to_o gyve_v we_o example_n to_o follow_v he_o in_o do_v good_a for_o evyll_n as_z he_o byd_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o matthew_n love_n your_o enemy_n say_v he_o &_o do_v well_o to_o such_o as_o do_v evyll_n to_o you_o and_o pray_v for_o such_o as_o pursue_v you_o &_o speak_v evil_a of_o you_o for_o you_o do_v thus_o than_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o be_v parfyte_n in_o virtue_n like_o as_o your_o fader_fw-mi in_o heaven_n be_v parfyte_n &_o make_v the_o son_n to_o gyve_v light_n as_o well_o to_o the_o evyll_n man_n as_o to_o the_o good_a man_n and_o make_v the_o unryghtwysse_o man_n to_o have_v profit_n of_o the_o rain_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ryghtwysse_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o take_v pacyent_o trybulacyon_n for_o if_o we_o will_v for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n break_v our_o one_o froward_a herte_n and_o for_o to_o win_v y_z e_o love_n of_o god_n &_o love_v such_o as_o trouble_v we_o &_o pray_v for_o they_o and_z do_v good_a against_o evyll_n than_z we_o have_v one_o of_o the_o grete_a tokenes_n that_o we_o be_v parfyte_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o his_o own_o child_n and_o follower_n of_o he_o which_o thing_n if_o we_o will_v remember_v we_o be_v most_o joyful_a to_o us._n also_o it_o make_v we_o more_o pacyent_a if_o we_o due_o remember_v y_o e_fw-la good_n that_o we_o have_v resceyve_v of_o god_n the_o good_n of_o nature_n as_o wit_n eloquence_n seblenesse_n of_o body_n helthe_n beaute_fw-fr &_o good_n of_o fortune_n as_o gold_n silver_n clothe_v lyvelode_v and_o how_o we_o have_v myspend_v they_o synful_o &_o how_o pacyent_o he_o have_v suffer_v we_o long_o time_n to_o abide_v in_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o fynaly_a remembryn_n ge_fw-mi his_o goodenes_n his_o pacyence_n &_o long_o suffer_v we_o shall_v turn_v to_o he_o wherefore_o when_o he_o stow_z ge_v we_o if_o we_o remember_v how_o well_o we_o have_v deserve_v hit_v we_o shall_v by_o his_o grace_n more_o parfyt_o be_v again_o hit_v our_o lord_n gyve_v good_a thing_n as_o helthe_n rychesse_n &_o prosperyte_n to_o evyll_n man_n &_o wyman_n y_fw-es t_o remember_v his_o kyndenesse_n they_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o moeve_v to_o penance_n &_o sorynesse_n when_o they_o see_v they_o have_v offen_n dead_a so_o kind_a a_o lord_n which_o so_o gentel_o call_v they_o of_o his_o great_a goodness_n and_o he_o send_v oftimes_o trybulaconn_v to_o good_a folk_n which_o be_v not_o parfyt_o good_a for_o they_o take_v not_o thankful_o trybulaconn_v but_o some_o time_n grudge_n under_o the_o rod_n of_o chastysement_n wherefore_o he_o keep_v they_o still_o under_o the_o rod_n till_o they_o be_v so_o acustome_v therewith_o y_o it_o they_o can_v take_v it_o pacyent_o thus_o by_o his_o kyndenesse_n he_o bryngyth_v evyll_n folk_n to_o penance_n and_z by_o his_o sharpness_n he_o bring_v good_a folk_n to_o pacyence_n also_o he_o gyve_v prosperyte_n and_o good_n of_o this_o world_n to_o good_a man_n and_o wyman_n to_o nourysshe_v they_o &_o cheryshe_v they_o in_o his_o love_n like_o as_o the_o fader_fw-mi tell_v the_o child_n to_o follow_v he_o by_o a_o fair_a appell_n he_o send_v also_o trybulaconn_v to_o evyll_n folk_n to_o make_v they_o drede_v he_o and_o thus_o the_o good_a folk_n he_o bring_v to_o love_v by_o worldly_a prosperyte_n and_o evyll_n folk_n he_o bring_v to_o drede_v by_o adversyte_n one_o cause_n why_o our_o lord_n will_v that_o good_a folk_n have_v adversyte_n and_o trybulacyon_n be_v this_o because_o that_o evyll_n folk_n shall_v not_o think_v that_o trybulacyon_n be_v so_o evyll_n that_o our_o lord_n accept_v hit_v nought_o ne_o love_v they_o which_o hate_v hit_v for_o they_o see_v the_o contrary_n that_o those_o which_o be_v moo_v in_o virtue_n have_v moo_v trybulacyon_n as_z our_o savyour_fw-mi wiche_a never_o do_v sin_n have_v moo_v bitter_a pain_n and_o trouble_n also_o his_o blessyd_v mother_n his_o apostle_n and_o his_o dyscyple_n and_o like_o wise_n now_o in_o these_o day_n such_o folk_n as_o our_o lord_n love_v best_a such_o he_o send_v moo_v sorrow_n in_o their_o herte_n and_o moo_v pain_n or_o labour_n in_o body_n with_o the_o which_o in_o the_o beginning_a they_o grut_v i_o but_o final_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o suffer_v hit_v swet_o and_o to_o gyve_v thankynge_n to_o our_o lord_n thereof_o which_o by_o trybulacyon_n

by_o the_o rightful_a jugement_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v have_v great_a punysshement_n in_o this_o life_n or_o after_o this_o life_n for_o every_o thing_n y_o it_o they_o myspende_v wherefore_o these_o faithful_a soul_n have_v more_o fere_n than_o favour_n more_o pain_n than_o pleasure_n in_o great_a possessyon_n of_o worldly_a good_n they_o be_v not_o inflate_v ne_o exalte_n in_o
