what shall suche infydeles say if they se christsten women in y e layd pointes worse then be theyr women whome as they are chrysten so they ought a great deale to passe them in honestye vertue Now what thynge old women muste by thyne instruction teache yong maydens and yong wyues that same shalte thou thy selfe teache yong men exhortyng them to be sobre moderate in theyr affections that y e heate of youth ouerthrowe them not hedlynge in to viciousnes And that thou mayst with more efficacie ê‘swade these thynges Fyrst of all be thou thy selfe to theym an exaÌ„ple of honest dedes and y t in all office of godly lyfe For no man doeth sooner or easylyer pswade then he whiche constantly doeth as he teacheth Thou shalte therfore teache the youth thus in the meane space in teachynge lyue vprightly that thy lyfe be not corrupt with ony vyce kepe suche grauyte that it maye make theym to haue thy doctrine in reuerence awe And therfore so moderate all thy lyfe wordes that there can nothing be founde in the to be despysed set at naught so that not onelye they whiche be vnder thy loore may obey the but also they that were afore agaynste the gospell may be a shamed of theyr yll sayenge when they shall se all thynges in the so without blame that they whiche lye in wayte for the and seke all y e occasyons thei can to chop at the can fynde nothyng wherby they caÌ„ iustly speake ony thyng agaynst y â— As concerning seruauntes exhorte theym to be obedyente to theyr maysters and dylygente to please theym in all thynges that not by the profession of Christes religion they may seme to be made wors then they were afore and therby may begynne reproch to be geuen to the gospell when it is al the frute of naughty parsons Let them not therfore be full of excuses and yll wylled to do theyr masters commauÌ„demeÌ„tes nor preny pykers as the most sorte of yll seruantes be that seynge they professe the gospell they declare them selfe in all seruyse to be don to theyr masters faithful true yea though their masters do but litle deserue it of them So that thrugh theyr honest maners thei may coÌ„mend and set forth the doctryne of our sauyour god y t by them mo men may be drawen to the folowyng of it if men se suche as knowlege theym selfe to be christen men to be therby more gentle and amyable in all theyr lyuynge For in this thrugh y e gospel hath shined y e goodnes and gentelnes of god our sauyour not afore knowen And it hathe not shyned onely to the iewes but egaliy to all men not that after we be delyuerd fro the burden of Moyses lawe we sholde lyue after our owne wyll but we be taught that after that by baptysine y â— fautes of our lyfe afore past be forgeuen vs that we sweryng to abide by Christes wordes haue ones renouÌ„ced and geuen vp the wycked relygyon worshipping of ymages of ydols and with theym also all worldly desyres so that after we sholde lede our lyfe here in this worlde that it may appere verely y t we be regenerat or new borne in Christ and made quyte other men then we were afore And we whiche serued afore to wyckedness to vnhappy dedes dyuers affectioÌ„s which euen as it were baites drew vs to vyllanye must from hence forth kepe suche moderatioÌ„ that we be in no wyse trobled w t desyres of worldly thynges Let vs shew in vs iustyce y t as moch as is in vs we do for euery man and hurte no man that we may now geue with a true professyon hole lyfe to god suche worshyp as we gaue afore to deuyls And though in the mean season we be punished with pouerte barenes sclaunder chydynges dyuers other euylles let vs not thynke that our good liuyng is baraine nor let vs not therfore hunt after rewardes of this worlde which be neyther in comparyson great nor of no longe durance but lette vs loke for that greate rewarde of euerlastyng lyfe that shal then chaunce when after y t this world is ended In the which the membres of Chryste be yet busyed by afflyctions and sclaunders God the father shall open in his worshyppers in his glory magnifycence all theyr euylles ouercome not apperyng humble but gloryous and ferefull to wycked men And to gither with y e father shall appere in y e same glorie the lord sauyour Iesus Christ geuyng to his meÌ„bres y t same euerlastiÌ„g life in y e which he now shineth for he by cause y t no man shall mystrust his ê“mise wittingly willingly came to his deth holy gaue him selfe to vs y t he being fre from all synne wold redeme vs by y t pryce of his blode from y e tyraÌ„ny of the deuill to whoÌ„ by our soule synÌ„es we were subiecte And after y t he had done away cleane our offences make to hyÌ„ of vs a new his own people which after his own exaÌ„ple shold despise all euilles y e enticemeÌ„tes of this world his reward trod vnder fete shold laboure to get the enherytaunce of euerlasting life which cryst doth ê“mise to all y t kepeth y e profession of the gospel truly w t clenelyfe The thyrde chapyter THese thynges my Tytê° wiche be a greate deale wyde from the fabls of y e Iewes speake them openly Exhorte all people to folow them suche as bend away from them rebuke them with by authoryte that such men as will not be perswaded by lerning nor will not be moued by faire exhortations nor by sharpe ernestful correction made to refrayne For there be some fautes that muste be healed by seneryte Here therfore shewe forth the grauyte and authoryte of a bysshoppe and so behaue thy selfe y t no man maye haue ony iust cause to despise the. Pryde and hawte countenaunce muste not be in the but when so euer nede requyreth thou muste shewe thyne authoryte Now as I wold haue that all seruauntes sholde be to theyr maysters yea thoughe they be gentyles euen suche by thy monycyon wolde I haue all christeÌ„ men to be to theyr prynces and to suche as are hed offycers vnder them though suche prices or rulers vnder whom they be are theÌ„ selfe vncrystened For this muste we in ony maner of wyse take hede vnto that no man may by our maners catche ony occasyon to alienat him selfe fro the gospell But it wolde so chaunce yf they that be heddes rulers shold perceyue that we by reason of the professyon that we haue taken were more sedicyous and stately and lesse obedyent to theyr coÌ„maundemeÌ„tes For they wolde anon ley that to the faute of the gospell so more w tdrawe theyr myndes fro the professyon therof warne them therfore that beleue in Chryst y t they be neuer the more for all that free fro the lawes
