life_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n we_o note_v what_o this_o rich_a man_n be_v whether_o there_o be_v indeed_o any_o such_o man_n or_o no_o wherefore_o here_o may_v a_o question_n arise_v whether_o this_o be_v a_o parable_n or_o history_n the_o writer_n hereon_o do_v not_o agree_v marloret_n say_v quanquam_fw-la quibusdam_fw-la haec_fw-la simplex_fw-la parabola_fw-la esse_fw-la videtur_fw-la tamen_fw-la quia_fw-la hic_fw-la lazari_n nomen_fw-la exprimitur_fw-la rem_fw-la gestam_fw-la narrare_fw-la probabilius_fw-la est_fw-la some_o be_v of_o that_o mind_n that_o this_o be_v a_o parable_n yet_o because_o say_v he_o christ_n express_v here_o the_o name_n of_o lazarus_n it_o argue_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o do_v indeed_o likewise_o say_v franciscus_n lambertus_n credondum_fw-la magis_fw-la esse_fw-la historian_n &_o exemplum_fw-la verum_fw-la quà m_fw-la parabolum_n it_o must_v be_v beléeve_v that_o this_o be_v rather_o a_o history_n and_o a_o true_a example_n than_o a_o parable_n but_o theophilactus_fw-la be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n parabola_fw-la veraest_n &_o hac_fw-la non_fw-la historia_fw-la this_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o no_o history_n erasmus_n also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o parable_n whereby_o all_o rich_a man_n may_v learn_v to_o be_v merciful_a to_o their_o poor_a brethren_n that_o they_o may_v speak_v for_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o vengeance_n and_o wrath_n srella_n also_o say_v erat_fw-la quidam_fw-la homo_fw-la non_fw-la quidam_fw-la vir_fw-la he_o speak_v of_o the_o species_n not_o of_o the_o individum_fw-la as_o one_o particular_a man_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o parable_n many_o writer_n there_o be_v also_o that_o rather_o aim_v at_o the_o argument_n and_o observation_n herein_o have_v not_o set_v down_o their_o judgement_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o parable_n or_o history_n therefore_o it_o may_v seem_v wiscdome_n in_o i_o to_o suspend_v my_o my_o judgement_n also_o herein_o especial_o since_o marloret_n say_v parum_fw-la refert_fw-la utrum_fw-la sit_fw-la parabola_fw-la a_o historia_fw-la modo_fw-la summam_fw-la doctrinam_fw-la teneant_fw-la lectores_fw-la it_o great_o skill_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o parable_n or_o history_n so_o that_o we_o due_o consider_v the_o doctrine_n herein_o but_o because_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o also_o show_v my_o opinion_n i_o will_v return_v the_o verdict_n according_a to_o my_o evidence_n and_o therefore_o 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 a_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 must_v needs_o 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 the_o main_a sphere_n and_o orb_n 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 throat_n be_v yet_o dry_a and_o cleave_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 see_v first_o that_o the_o wicked_a be_v so_o little_o respect_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 foolish_a shall_v not_o tarry_v in_o my_o sight_n for_o thou_o hate_v all_o they_o which_o work_n vanity_n and_o have_v not_o our_o sin_n also_o deserve_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v remember_v also_o of_o god_n &_o that_o he_o shall_v utter_o forget_v we_o that_o be_v take_v away_o his_o love_n and_o fanour_n from_o we_o yes_o very_o for_o what_o pride_n envy_n and_o impiety_n be_v there_o practise_v here_o among_o we_o pride_n against_o god_n envy_n against_o man_n and_o impiety_n against_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o conscience_n have_v touch_v even_o the_o very_a tropic_n of_o all_o wickedness_n so_o that_o our_o sin_n force_n god_n to_o forsake_v we_o and_o not_o to_o remember_v us._n plutarch_n in_o the_o life_n of_o theseus_n report_v of_o one_o phea_n a_o woman_n that_o rob_v all_o the_o passenger_n that_o pass_v by_o her_o palace_n call_v crommyonia_n where_o she_o dwell_v which_o history_n may_v not_o unfit_o be_v apply_v to_o our_o sin_n for_o they_o like_o phea_n rob_v we_o of_o grace_n of_o favour_n of_o blessing_n of_o good_a name_n and_o of_o god_n love_n too_o solum_fw-la peccatum_fw-la homicida_fw-la it_o be_v sin_n only_o that_o cut_v our_o throat_n it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o egypt_n that_o plague_v egypt_n and_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o this_o city_n that_o plague_v this_o city_n although_o now_o the_o lord_n have_v spare_v it_o a_o good_a season_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o presume_v of_o his_o long_a sufferance_n for_o if_o punishment_n argue_v sin_n and_o sin_n plague_n have_v we_o not_o cause_n to_o fear_v great_a misery_n to_o ensue_v i_o conclude_v this_o point_n therefore_o with_o the_o prophet_n esa_n 5._o woe_n be_v unto_o they_o that_o draw_v on_o wickedness_n with_o cord_n of_o vanity_n and_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o cart-rope_n i_o hear_v a_o voice_n say_v woe_n wo_n wo_n unto_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n
