Â¶ A glasse for housholders wherin thei maye se bothe howe to rule theim selfes ordre their housholde verye Godly and fruytfull â§ LONDINI â§ In officina Richardi Graftoni 1542. Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum To the reader IN this small treatyse is set foorth moste wholsome councell fyrste beyng a young man vnmaried howe that ye should behaue your selfe after that beyng a maried manne and an housholder howe ye shoulde bothe rule youre selfe and ordre your houstolde with also an exhortacioÌ„ and councell what trade and sorte your occupyeng should bee yâ— is to say yâ— it may be specially for yâ— coÌ„meÌ„ wealth of the realme that ye are of and also beneficial and profitable to your selfe with many other good and wholsome lessone and counselles whiche whosoeuer folowe shall not only liue here a lyfe profitable both for hym selfe and all other menne but also after this life shal be rewarded with that croune and blisse that God the father for Christ his sonnes sake hath promysed to theim that are his * A glasse for housholders MY entierly beloued the begynnyng of wysedom is the loue and feare God for it causeth a manne to withdrawe hym self from dooyng eiuill maketh hym to dooe good it is not ynough my freÌ„de for to forbeare euil dooinges but you and I and euery Christyan ought to dooe good that is to saie perfightly to beleue in God to coÌ„mit our selfes wholy vnto hym to thynke verely then that he will not forsake vs but tenderly will prouide for vs all thynges necessary for this life and will defende vs in all aduersities he will geue vs strength to resist his aduersaries and oures in his cause besides this he wyll doubtles make vs ryghteouse good and blessed he will remitte and forgeue our sinnes he will make vs the heires of his kyngdom and geue vs the life euerlastyng And all these he wyll dooe of his mere goodnesse of his mere grace and mercy thorowe Iesus Christ our Lord our redemer and sauiour by yâ— woorke of the holy goste And that for because we beleue in hym because we be delighted in his lawes and loue his woorde And because we dooe confesse our selues to be vnpure and of a corrupte nature infyrme feble and weake of our selues apte to do nothyng which is good in his sight but alwayes readye to fall into eternal dampnacion full of vayne glorye and ypocrisie vile wretched ignorauÌ„t and inconstaunte And acknoweledgyng so his goodnesse that without hym we coulde not somuche as to thynke one good thought wherfore whatsoeuer good thought commeth into our myndes therafter we speake or woorke it commeth of hym wherfore we are churlishe and vnkynde yf we geue not alwayes thankes and prayses therfore to hym whyche thynge of dutie we ought to dooe sithe that all oure good woorkes come of hym and except thei cam of hym thei were not good Let vs then of and vpon faythe in hym onely to glorifie him dooe good dedes with suche goodes ryches as he hath geueÌ„ vs whether they bee inwarde riches or outwarde that is ghostely dedes of mercye or bodelye And because you ought to make a great reconyng to God for these worldly thynges shal be when the same shal receyue you agayn when ye shall die And thynke that yâ— tyme therof might be aswell this daye as to morowe or the nexte daye Remembre that it is harde for a riche man to bee a good maÌ„ because yâ— truthe saith that it is more easyer for a Camel to crepe through the eye of a nedle then for a ryche man to entre into the kyngdome of heauen And playnly withoute excepcion true it is yâ— saynt Iherome sayeth whiche sayeth that a richeman is eyther vniust hymselfe or the heire of an vniuste man Greate riches can neyther be eyther gotteÌ„ or els kepte without synne Ye muste remeÌ„bre thinke of how muche better ryches thei do robbe you For they pull away from you the loue of God Therfore couetousnes is called ydolatrye of Paule And Christe sayeth you cannot serue God and Mammon Mammon is yâ— deuel which teÌ„pteth styreth to coueteousnesse Therefore yf you haue worldlye goodes serue theim not let not them haue your mynde vndre their subieccioÌ„ But be you a maister ouer theim And remembre yâ— you ought to bee the seruauÌ„t of God that is as a seruauÌ„t to vse these riches to yâ— glorie and prayse of God the geuer leaste you be coÌ„dempned of hym as an euel seruaunt not regardyng his maisters will pleasure Thynke that whosoeuer be taÌ„geled muche with this world or worldly riches hateth the veraye smell and taste of vertue And whosoeuer setteth his mynde vpon golde and hath his affeccion and desire therunto hateth all honest scieÌ„ces his herte shall neuer be quieted with it but alwayes in trouble vpon hope to get or feare to lese A couetouse persone cannot be satisfyed with golde The herte of man is so excellente a thing that all the treasures in the worlde cannot fulfill it I meane the desires of yâ— herte he only that made it maye fulfyll and satisfye it none other thing And he desireth nothinge elles of man but that he may dwel in his herte And where as Mammon is there wyll not he dwell Therfore yf you will receiue this gifte expel Mammon and thrust hym oute of dores For Christe hathe with no vice lesse acquayntaunce thoughe he loue none at all then with couetise wherfore if you studye to please Christe and come into his fauoure you muste geue vp Mammon and banishe hym oute of the coastes of youre breste For Christ and Mammon dwelleth not in one and the same place Bewise therfore howe you set youre hert to rychesse certainly yf you set youre herte to theim you shall euer be poore and voyd of trewe rychesse He that coueteth nothyng is riche and hathe ynoughe Yf you haue worldly goodes know of whom you haue receiued theim And to the geuer be not vnkinde but haue yâ— gooddes to do good and to be good with theim Let not theim make you worse by iÌ„ordinate loue Though you had theim not yet moughte you do good For doing good coÌ„sisteth in the affeccion of yâ— mind As yf you had nothing to helpe your christen brother but a cup of cold water Or if you haue not that yet hauyng a piteful and a mercyful mynde with a good wyll to geue yf you had it it shal be acceptable afore God If it be moued of chrysten loue vpoÌ„ the necessitee pouerte infirmytee calamitee wretchednesse the aduersyte of my neighbour And in these thynges according to my power I do helpe him as I wolde that he shoulde helpe me yf I were in lyke condicyon as sayth saincte Paule Let vs Gala. vi worke good to all personnes but specially vnto them that be of the housholde of faith And lykewyse saincte Paule to Timothe 1. Timo. vi Charge the ryche menne
