grete syÌ„ners sayth he passyth this world ful of ten in moche prosperite and at a soden poynt they descende in to hell ¶ Thenne some there be whyche be here punysshid bodyly for ther ghostly syÌ„nes yet not alle hauynge bodyly syknesse haue it for their synnes but somtyme of naturall causes Many tymes of surfeyte ye somtyme for god woll shewe his grete power be glorifyed on wretchyd persones As Cryste playnly shewed in the. ix chapytre of Iohn where his discyples askyd hym of yâ— blynde man of natyuyte ¶ Who offendyd thys man or his frendes that he was borne blynde Criste answerde sayd that neyther he ne yet his tâ—endes but that the glory of god sholde be made open on hym Wherupon sayth saynt Austin Hadr this man not originall synne ne yet actuall in progresse of his lyfe that Cryste

be a perfyte physicyen therfore addeth forth with I cam not in to this worlde to calle ryghtwysmen but rather synners to penaunce As though he sholde saye I disdayne not synners syth oonly for synners loue I came in to thys worlde not yâ— they shold remayne synners but rather to be conuerted lyue euerlastyngly ThenÌ„ I say our sauyour IhuÌ„s Cryst dispysed not the coÌ„pany of syke men gostly ne
