as the yeare chaungeth by the xii monthes into xii diuers manners So doeth man chaunge hymselfe xii tymes in his lyfe by xii ages and euery vi times vi maketh xxxvi And than man is at the best and also at the highest and xii times vi maketh lxxii and that is the age of man Thus must you counte and recken for euery month vi yeare or else it may be vnderstand by the foure quarters and seasons of the yeare so man is deuided into foure parts as to youth strength wysedome and age He so to bee xviii yeare yong xviii yeare strong xviii yeare in wisedome and the fourth xviii yere to goe to the ful

commeth February and then the dayes longeth and the sunne is more hotter then the fyeldes begin to waxe greene So the other vi yere till he come to xii the childe beginneth to grow bigger and is apt to learne such thinges as is taught him Then commeth the month of March in which the labourour soweth the earth and planteth trees and edyfieth houses the chylde in these vi yeares waxeth big to learne Doctrine and science and to be fayre and pleasaunte and louing for then he is xviii yeares of age Then commeth Aprill that the earth and the trees is couered wyth greene Flowers And in euery

at the highest in his meridional he may ascēd no higher in his stacion Hys gleamering golden Beames rypeth the Corne and then man is xxxvi yeare he maye ascende no more for then nature hath giuen them courage and strength at the full and rypeth the seedes of perfecte vnderstanding Then commeth Iuly that our fruites be set on sunning and our corne a hardening but then the sunne beginneth a little to descende downwarde So then man goeth from youth towarde age and beginneth for to acquainte him whyth sadnesse for then he is come to xlii yeare After that then commeth August then we gather in our corne and also the fruites of the earth And then man doeth hys dillygence to gather for to fynde hym selfe to mayntayne hys wyfe chyldren and hys housholde when age commeth on him and then after that vi yeare he is xiviii yeare of age Then commeth September that wynes be made and the fruites of the trees be gathered And then there wythall he doeth freshly begin to garnishe hys house and make prouision of needefull things for to lyue wyth in wynter whych draweth verye neare and then man is in his moste stedfaste and couetous estate prosperous in wisedome purposing to gather and keepe as much as shoulde bee sufficient for him in hys age when he maye gather no more and then is hee liiii yeare of age And then commeth October that all is into the aforesayde house gathered both corne and also other maner of fruites and also the laborers plowe and sow new seedes on the erth for the yeare to come And then he that nought soweth nought gathereth and then in these vi yeare a man shall take

then hath he little hope of long lyfe but desyreth to come to the lyfe euerlasting and these vi yeares maketh him lxvi yeare of age Then last commeth December full of colde wyth frosts and snows with great wyndes and stormy weathers that a man may not labor nor nought doe The sunne is then at the lowest that it maye descende Then the trees and the earth be hid in snowe then it is good to hold them nie the fyre and to spende the goodes that they gate in sommer For then man beginneth to waxe crooked and feeble coughing spitting and loathsome and then he loseth hys perfecte vnderstanding and his heyres desyre hys death And these vi yeare maketh him full lxxii yeares and if he lyue any longer it is by his good guiding and dieting in hys youth howbeit it is possible that a man may liue till he be a C. yeare of age but ther be but few that liueth so long tyll they come to a hundred yere of age ¶ Hereafter followeth the Rutter of the distaunces from one Porte or countrey
