how good how meke how gentyll how sufferynge howe pacyent and iuste he is than you know god for by thes propertes we lerne what god is Contrarywyse the deuyll is nothyng els but vnmercyfulnes hattred enuy murder lying mockyng of our neyghbour and al thyng that is nought forthermore they be the chyldren of god whyche folow god in vertu in innocency mercy pety and vnfeyned charite Againe thei be the children of the deuyll whyche be lying cruell vnmercyfull dysobedyent to their parentes periured Thei whiche be obedyent to god doo all such as please god They that serue the deuyll doo that please hym Wylt thou now serue god then sett thyne eys of thy mind and marke chryste be iust gentyl meke true faythfull Thow hast abrenounced all the workes of the deuyll in thy baptysme now what be the workes of the deuyl I shal bryuely declare To bakbyte and speak yll of men to moke to dyspyse to scoffe at widews and aged mē to geue no reuerēce to thy parentes and chefly to neglect the worde of god and to blasphem hys name wordly men loue to go pompusly arayde wyth ther hosse Iagged the play make mery as thowgh they shuld euermore lyue neuer perysh they ryot and reuell they vse most impudent dansces they go vp and doune from one streat to an other all the nyght long wyth theyr crying routtyng they take away from aged mē and infyrme persōs their naturall reste and quietnes They lytell regard there parentes cōmaūdemētes what so euer they speke vnto them they make ●yght an a moke at yt yea that is worsse the greatter forte of them can not say the Lordes praier right and yf they can say the wordes the strynght and sprit therof thei haue not They bable vp ther praiers as the nounes were wount to do theyr psalter But such yong men as serue and add yet themselues to chryst be not polluted with such manner of wickednes Then such lewed and wicked persons whych leade there tyme so abhominably let them nothing hynder you in your vertuous doyngs wether thei be preestis or lay mē or what so euer they be for the pompe and pryde of thys world yet neuer pleased God nor neuer shall And yet it is plaine such thynges do greatly delyte and sturre vp yong mē such as haue not yet learned to folow reason nor cōcyder the ende and death of man Yt is nothyng els all thys but vanyte to pastyme to sport to dryncke to feight to set idle to solace O Lord how petifully is our youth brought vp euen from there chyld age wherfore when they cum to be men afterwarde ther fruites appere therafter In like as our first parentes in paradyce a place of all pleasure were forbid from thaple that aboue all thinge thei shuld be ware and be circūspectid therin But after that through the deueles instigatiō they had committid in takyng of thaple they fell into all maner of myserys where with we be all now oppressed to thys day Euen so lykewyse it is now amongest youth which supposeth the Glory of thys worlde to be nothinge elles but all pleasure and delite and all together honei whan in dede it is bitter poison and verili euerlasting dānatiō I do not here speke agaynst honeste myrth and such maner of excersyce of the body as be cumly But bicause I perceaue the deuell thus to go about with such delytes and baytes to snare yong mē and maides and so to seduce them frome all goodnes yf they wyll consent vnto hym that at leynght he makyth them cleane desperat bothe with out all feare of god and all shamfastenes which is the onely ornament of all yong age in so much that nether they regard god nether truthe nor iustice goodnes nor honesty nor no other vertu wherof also proceideth there greater dystruction that they wyll not harken to the word of god nor be not brought vnto yt by ther parēts O you parentes litell do you know what a charg lieth apō your backes And you chyldren whan wyll you remembre and consyder what yt is you promysed to god in your baptysme Yt is not to be neglected I tell you that you voue promysse vnto god he requireth our fayth suche vnfaithfull false couenāt brekeres he wyll punysh and that most sharpely The lorde setyth before vs tow wayes the one to lyfe the other to dystrucsyon Marke nowe well ye chyldren of the lorde The one is sharp thornie full of briers which few men do walke but after that yt be entred ones yt ys very playne and pleasant bryngeth to euerlaisting life The other semeth fyrste delectable as though it shuld cōducte vs to all maner of goodnes but at leyngeh and last ende yt castith vs head loung doune to hell where the deuill and all his aūgelles be kepte faste abydyng the daye and iudgment of god Therfore saythe Christ Mathew vii Enter in be the straeyt wycket for brode is the way that leadeth to perditiō and large is the dore and many enter in ther at And agayne strayet is the dore and the way narrow which leadeth into heauen and fewe there be that fynde it The lyfe of all true christians foloweth thys strayet waye in the which waye they be daily excercised and tourmoyled in perturbatyones of thys worlde And they neuer cease nor rest to they haue fineshed there course and come where thei wold be Say some Then shall I not kepe company with my fellowes and aquaintance shall I not make mery with my gosseptes and solace with thē ones or twise a wicke I am no mounke nor fryer what man is able to kepe so straite a rule you must consyder we be men what wold you we shuld do here my consel good sonne what thou shalt do for I know what the world is woūt to abiect and saye here I say and obaye the word of god And vndoubted thou shall sone perceyue thys strayte waye now to thy seauynge shortely to be easy and pleasāt And I do not doubt but at leynght thou shall gyue me great thankes for my counsell whiche haue kepte the frmoe suche dystruction and ieoperdy I wold wysh to all you yong men and children the eyes of your mind opē that ye myght see the ende that such men come to One is slane beynge droncke and madde an other hath his arme or legg stroke of an other goyth a robbynge feyght wrongfully for other mens money and so strokē dōne and slayne lyke a beste An other is hangged for a smalle tryfle And who can recyte vp all the kyndes of death and disttructiō that such dysobedyent persons as these come vnto what nede we any example to be brought whan dayly experyence declareth what ende mischef these wretches com to And the same I speke also to yong wemē and maydes They be wanton and incontynent they haue and drawe to such felowes after their owone sort more lecherous than any gote
