perished by hanging sometime by sworde sometyme by fyre sometyme by drowning The law of the Tartarians was that Adulterers shoulde bee slayne out of hand The prodigall sonne consumed the Talente which his father did giue him by whoredome and was brought to beggerye The Metyleans strangled all such as were taken in aduoultery without mercy showne The Thracians law was that who so was taken in whoredome should be stripped naked and be bound to a post and so with Arrowes pierced and stryken to death Puer All these are sore and bitter punishmentes for Adulterers God bee praised the laws of

woman in like maner tempt you you are flesh blood as another māis necessity hath no law the prouerb sayth You are very earnest with me it is for my learning I pray God that both of vs might folow your documēt but the cōtrary is sene of some of those that seme to be great professours of religion their deedes are contrary yet they will teach and shew others their dueties and pluck a thorne out of another mans foote and put it in their owne Ciuis Euery one that sayeth Lord Lord shall not enter into the Kingdome of heauen but hee that doeth the will of my father sayeth Christe So if they professe Iesus Christ and doe not after his preceptes they are as euill as Iudas God roote them out of my selfe I must confesse to be a sinner and one that am ashamed to shew my selfe before the glorye of God my sins are so manifolde yet will I say and excuse my selfe concerning whoredome as faythfull Iobe sayde If my harte hath-lusted after my neighboures wyfe or if I haue layde wayght at hys dore O then let my wife be another mans harlot and let other lye with her for this is a wickednesse and sin that is worthy to be punished As for whoredome and all vncleannesse let it not be named

The Prophet sayth Learne to doe righte applye yourselues to equitie Puer You haue certifyed my desyre perswacions of one friende to another may doe muche good Lorde what happy fortune was it that wee two did meete togeather for your aduertisementes I trust shal doe me much good and I shall be bound to pray vnto God for you that it was my good fortune to haue your company being such a friendly mā as you are if I were learned I woulde make some remembraunce what you haue sayde to mee and I woulde send it downe into the countrey to our olde Duns shewing him what good exhortacions you haue shewed to me and what the duety of seruaunts is vnto their maysters It is a thing in my iudgemente requisyte and necessarye for Seruauntes and Maysters to print these wordes which you haue recited vnto me in their myndes I remember a saying Forgeue one another if thy Brother trespase agaynst thee goe and tel him his fault betweene him and thee alone if he heare thee thou haste wonne thy brother But if he he are thee not then take with thee one or two but I thanke God you haue so vsed me that it shall not be shewed to any Ciuis Remember what is written in the same place Better it is for thee to enter into life with one eye then to haue two eyes and be cast into hell fyre So likewise better it were for thee to suffer wrong and iuiury then to reuenge agayne Recompence to no man euill for euill Let euery soule be flowe vnto anger Loue your enemyes doe good vnto them that hate you blesse them that curse you pray for them that wrong and trouble you And who so smyteth thee on the one cheeke offer him the other And who taketh thy cloake forbid him not thy coat and whoso taketh that is thyne aske it not agayne and as yee woulde that men shoulde doe vnto you euen so doe ye vnto them Lykewyse and if you loue them that loue you what thanke haue you therefore But rather loue those whome you thinke to be your enemies iudge not and ye shal not be iudged Forgiue and ye shall be forgeuen Thus now you heare what benefyte and commoditie commeth and what a fountayne or Wellspring of lyfe is shewed vnto you concerning sufferaunce A good name is more worth then a precious oyntment and the day of death is better then the day of byrth Let him that hath an office wayghte on his office Let him that ruleth doe it with dilligence Let loue be without dissimulacion Be kynde one to another with brotherly loue In geuing honour goe one before another Loue brotherly fellowship Be not weary in well doing Let not the Sunne goe downe vpon your wrath The Vngodly shall be so plagued that they shall seeke death and shall not fynd it they shal desyre to dye and death shall flye from them A discreete Seruaunte shall haue more rule then the sonnes that haue no wysedome An vndiscreete sonne is a greefe vnto his father and heauinesse vnto his mother that bare him Euery tree is knowne by his fruite so is a faythfull and a true seruaunt knowen by hys good and honest behauyour He that is true and iust to his mayster is lyke vnto a precious Iewell Dauid sayeth Myne eyes looke vpon such as be faithful in the land that they may dwell with me Who so leadeth a godly lyfe he shall be my seruaunte There shall no deceitful seruaunt dwell in my house he that telleth lyes shall not tarry in my sighte A froward harte shal departe from me I will not know a wicked person Puer Truth it is I can it not denye for if I should I were to blame the thing it selfe lyeth so playne before me that I cannot vary I am vpholden so by your talke that I cannot fall Heare my crying O God geue heede vnto my prayer for I cleaue vnto the same staffe which you haue geuen me to leaue vpon euen Iesus Christ Notwithstanding these wordes are not consydered on nowe a dayes For whereas my mother doth dwell if a man may fynde any occasyon of extremitie of Lawe agaynst his brother or neighboure immediatly he will procure by himselfe or his Soliciter to haue a Writ to make him to appeare at the Tearme whereby they doe not followe those wordes you told me That is if my neighbour shoulde desyre my Cloake shall I giue my Coate to him also peraduenture I shall go naked my selfe the fraylty of the fleshe will not be so aunswered for sure I beleeue though it be so written in scripture there is another meaning therein which if it were declared especially vnto those that are the couetous persons of this worlde I thinke it woulde touch them somewhat for the moste parte of them are all gathering and seeking to inrich themselues and nothing will part from yet they haue a good example of the rich man Diues the pore begger Lazarus Ciuis That is wel remembred of you they haue the more to aunswere those which are in this world in substaunce lyuing haue a great accoumpt to make at the latter day and the pore man that hath his helth followeth his labour and getteth his liuing with the sweate of hys browes is better at his hartes case then they which hath golde and treasure mixed with sicknesse and diseases Albeit I pray God that thou when thou commest to be a man able to kepe a house of thine own that couetousnesse doth not enter into thy brest as it doth into many in these dayes Puer I thanke you for your good wishing towards me for the auoyding therof let me heare some of your mynd Ciuis God cōmandeth that thoushalt not couet thy neighbours goods For couetousnesse is the roote of al euil Dauid sayd Inclyne my hart O Lord to thy testimonies not to couetousnes He that hordeth vp his corn shal be cursed among the people but blessing shal light vpō his head that giueth
