entent ye may throughe the helpe of God accomplish and doe those thinges loke that there be peace and concorde amonge you and that ye reduce and brynge those that are at stryfe and debate to peace and vnitie Auoyde and flye all lesynges Exchue periury as perpetuall mortal death And aboue al thinges loke that after youre habilitie as is aforesayd ye exhibit geue your charitie to the poore and nedy and that ye offer vp your oblations to be consecrated vpon the aulter Loke that ye canne saye youre beleife and the lordes prayer and that ye teache your chyldren the same For I maruell very muche howe they dare be so bolde as once to name them selues christians that do dissemble to saye a fewe verses onely of theyr crede or of the lordes praier Likewise ye shal vnderstād that for those chyldren the which ye do Christen ye are as suerties vnto God and therefore be cyrcumspecte to correcte and chasten aswell those whiche ye do Christen as your owne naturall chyldrē that they may liue chastly sobe rly and iu●tly And be ware that youre lyfe be suche that your chyldren yf they wyll folow you burne not in the eternal fier but that they may approche and comewith you to the perpetuall blysse of heauen Take you heede that doe here iudge mens causes that ye iudge righteously and that ye take no giftes of the poore For gyftes doe blynde wyse mens hartes and do chaunge alter the wordes of the prudent wyse lest peraduenture whiles ye get and heape vp monye ye lese your soules For no man can gette vnlawfull gayne without lawful payne and dammage for where is luker there is losse luker in the cheste and dammage in cōscience Let no man drinke to be droncken nor compell anye other at his table to drinke more than nedeth lest that throughe ebriette drōkennes he lese both his own soule and theyrs also Loke that ye come together to the churche vpon the sunday for yf the wretched Jewes doe kepe and sanctifye theyr sabboth day with such deuotion as on that day they wyll doe no earthly worke at all how muche more shulde we christen men on the sunday geue apply our mindes to Gods seruice to come to y e church for the salute saluation of our owne soules And when ye come together praye for the remission of your sinnes Make no stryfe there nor no debate for who so commyng to the church doth so he thorowe debate doth wounde hurte hym selfe there where he myght haue healed holpen him selfe by prayer And beyng in the church beware and loke that ye braule not but that ye paciently do listē and take good hede to youre diuine seruyce For he y t doth iangle or bable in the church shall geue an acountes and rekenynge aswell for other as for him selfe because he wolde nether here Goddes worde nor yet suffer other men to here the same Loke that ye truly pay your tithes to the churche And let hym that was proude waxe humble that was lecherous wax chast that was wont to stele or to inuade other mens goodes geue his charitie to the poore Let hym that hathe bene enuious be beneuolent and gentle that hath done iniurie be readie and quycke to aske for geuenes and that he to whō iniurye was done vnto be preste and readye to forgeue As ofte as any infirmitie or sickenes doth chaūce amonge you let hym that is diseased receaue the holy cōmunion of the verye bodye and bloude of Christ and afterwardes be aneled that scripture may be fulfylled in in hym sayinge yf anye man be sycke let the preist be sente for to anoynt hym to pray ouer hym and the prayer of fayth shal saue the sycke and God shall rayse hym vp and yf he be in synne they shall be forgeuen hym Take heede and marke nowe good brethren that he the whiche in his sycknes wyll resort vnto the churche may obtayn bodely health and receaue the forgeuenes of synnes Seynge then that double goodnes and benefite may be foūd and obtayned in the churche why do these wretches labor by inchaunters by fountaynes by trees by diuilish philaters be caracters by dyuiners and sothsayers to induce muche mischeife among the people But as I haue sayde vnto you before looke that ye do admonysh warn your chyldren and all youre housholde to liue chastly and ryghteously prouokynge sturrynge them to good workes not only by wordes but by your godly and good exāple But principally whersoeuer ye be whether ye be at home or in your iourneye or at the table or amonge company take hede ye speake no fylthye no luxurious nor no lyghte wordes but that ye admonysh your neighbours and kynsfolke continually to end euer thē selues to speake the thynge that is good and honest lest that throughe detraction or daunsynge vpon the holy dayes or by babling and recitinge of luxurious fylthye communication they with theyr tounges wherewith they shulde laude and honour God do wound and hurte thē selues For yf these wretched and miserable persons which are not ashamed to daunce before y e churches of holy saintes come thether good christians they depart from thence as infideles for this vse and custome of daunsynge doth yet remayne of the obseruaunces and infide litie of the gentyles And pōder with youre selues what maner a christiane that he is the whiche comminge to the churche to praye and forgettynge the same is not ashamed to speake the sacrilegius wordes of paganes Consider my dearely beloued brethren whether it be semynge or conuenient that such luxurious and lyghte wordes y ● very poysen of y ● deuyl shuld procede or come forth of christen mens mouthes into the whiche the sacramente of the very body and bloud of christ doth enter and is receyued And aboue all thynges take hede that ye doe vnto other as ye wold be done vnto and that ye woulde other menne should not do vnto you that ye do it not vnto theym the whiche thynge yf ye woulde truely faythfullye obserue and fulfyll ye shulde easelye delyuer your soules from all sinne for he that hath no lernynge at all and hath these two sentences in mynde and memorye maye by Goddes helpe and grace in dede fulfyll them And notwithstandynge I doe beleue that the aforesayde euell and noughty custome procedyng of the obseruaunces of paganes be through my wordes gods inspiration cleane auoyded yet yf ye knowe any that obserue and kepe that most abhominable fylthynes of the fawne and y e harte loke that ye so chasten and so correcte them that they may repente theim that euer they commit ted suche a sacrilegius and so abhominable a dede And yf ye know anye suche as doe crye out yf the moone at any season through anye eclypse doth waxe obscure and dark warne them therof and shew them that they synne and offende greuously yf they doe truste

such double benediction Herken therfore vnto me thou vndeuoute man Thou knoweste well that all that thou doste receaue is Gods and wilte thou then not lende the maker and geuer of all thynges part of his owne The Lord hath no neade he doeth aske no rewarde but honour vnlye nor he doth not require y t thou ●eue him any thinge that is thine He vouchesafe to aske the tithes of all thinges and dost thou o thou couetous man saye him naye What wouldeste thou do yf he had kept nine partes vnto him selfe and had left the only the tenth part the whiche thinge verely is so chaunsed nowe when that thy corne for lacke of rayne is thinne naughtes thy vines beaten with hayle destroyed with froste and colde O thou couetous man what dost thou reken vpon nine partes are taken from thee because thou woldest not paye the tenthe It is cleare that thou neuer payest it and yet God dothe demaunde it and require it This is gods moost righteous custome and vse y t if thou do not paye him his tenthe thou shalt be reuoked and reduced to the tenthe For it is written The Lord sayth I saweit and ye thought to begile me but youre treasure youre houses shalbe spoyled thou shalte geue the wicked souldier that thou wouldest not geue the priest Returne vnto me sayth the Lord om nipotente y t I maye open the cloudes for you sprede my benediction vpon you I wil not destroye y e frutes of your possessions nor youre wines shal not widder nor consume awaye al nations shal saye that ye are blessed God is alwayes ready to do well but the malitiousnes of man will not suffer him For man taketh that god shuld geue him al thinge and yet he offreth not those thinges vnto him the whiche he semeth to possesse But what God shulde saye man whome I created and made is mine the earthe y t thou dost inhabite is mine the seede that thou dost sowe is mine the beastes whiche thou doest wery are mine y e dewes the rayne are mine and the heate of the same is mine Considering then that al the elementes wherby mā doth liue are mine thou that dost only bestowe thy labour dost deserue the tenthe only But inasmuch as y e lord omnipotent doth mekely nourysh vs and fede vs he hathe geuen a righte greate rewarde to y e laborer For he reseruing only vnto him selfe y e tenthe hath geuen vs y e rest O thou vnkind deceauer vnfaythful man I speake vnto the w t the wordes of god Behold see the yeare is gone paste geue the lord that doth send raine his reward O man redeme thy selfe whileste thou hast thy redēption in thy hād whilest thou art aliue whilest thou mayst Redeme thy selfe y e couetous death do not so preuent thee y t thou leaue doth life and rewarde Thou dost cōmitte that thing vnto thy wife but in vayne y t whiche perchaunce wil haue another husband Nor thou womā dost leaue it but in vayne vnto thy husband for he coueteth to haue another wyfe Nor thou dost cōmitte y e care of thy soule but in vayn vnto thy kinsfolke for there shal no manne faithfully redeme nor ayde the after thou be departed because that thou beyng in prosperitie woldest not redeme nor helpe thy selfe Cast now o thou couetous manne this burden of auaritiousnes frō thy shoulders despise this most cruel mistres that doth thus hardlye yoke thee nor will not suffer thee to accepte and take the yoke of Christe vpon thee For as the yoke of auarice is wonte to thruste and to leade men to the paynes of hell so the yoke of Christ is wōt to lift men vp to bring thē to y e ioyes of heauē Tithes are required of dutie he that denieth to paye thē doth inuade occupie other mens goodes And loke how many poore men die and perish there for hūger where he y t will not paye his tithes doth dwel he before the seate of the eternall iudge shall appeare gyltye of all theyr deathes for asmuche as he kepte that to hys owne vse store whiche God had prepared for y e pore Therfore who so coueceth to obtayne a re or the forgeuenes of his synnes let him paye his tithes geue of the other nine partes his charitie to the poore beware y t whatsoeuer remayneth aboue a meane a reasonable liuing be not hurded vp to luxurious volup tuous vses but y t it by doinge of good charitable dedes be layd vp in the celestial treasure For whatsoeuer God doth geue vs more then neadeth he geueth it not specially vnto vs but willeth vs to distribute to geue the same vnto other for if we geue it not we inuade occupie other mens goodes ¶ Of sorcery witchecrafte Ser. xi IT is not vnknowen vnto you good brethren that I haue oftentimes prayed you and with al fatherly sollicitude admonished you y t in no maner of wise ye should obserue kepe these sacrilegius customer of paganes But yet as farforth as I do heare my admonition hathe profited some of you but very slenderly litle But yet if I should not shewe you these thinges at y e day of iudgemēt I shuld geue but a slender an heauy rekening bothe for my selfe you But I excuse cleare my selfe before God when y t oftentimes I do admonish warne you that ye shuld not seke vpō these diuiners calkers nor questen w t thē of any cause or of anye disease Ye shal medle w t no inchaūters for whosoeuer doth that euil loseth his christianite becometh a pagane and without he succur ayde him selfe with almose dedes and with hard longe penaunce he shalbe lost for euer In like maner looke that ye take no hede to witche craft And whē ye be in your iorneye regard not the syngynge and chatterynge of byrdes nor presume not vpon theyr songes to denunce or shewe any deuillishe inchauntment or sorcery Ye shall not obserue nor marke vpon what daye ye go for the of your house nor when ye shall returne home agayne For as scripture doth saye God made al the dayes The first day is made the second and the thirde likewise the fourth the fift the sixte the Sabboth And god made all thinges verye good Take hede also that ye obserue not those sacrilegius folishe nesinges But as oft as ye must nedes goo anye where blesse your selfe in y e name of Christ Jesus saying your crede or els the lordes prayer w t good belefe take your iorney being well assured y t god shall helpe prospere you And when y t ye shall beginne god willing to contemne despise al these forsayd sorceries and sacrilegius fashions with such other wycked thynges as Satan hathe deceaued you withall then shal he take it greuously perceauing y t ye departe
