that_o he_o will_v never_o have_v resperte_a to_o think_v on_o the_o common_a wealth_n the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v this_o he_o be_v oppress_v with_o war_n by_o the_o hungarian_n and_o be_v take_v

can_v not_o have_v his_o pleasure_n of_o wealth_n as_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o have_v do_v ertorte_n his_o commonalty_n and_o they_o see_v king_n themselves_o ertort_v to_o maintain_v his_o prodigality_n rebel_v against_o he_o and_o slay_v he_o thus_o always_o the_o prodigal_a people_n do_v come_v ▪_o to_o destruction_n for_o oftentimes_o we_o see_v that_o he_o the_o which_o do_v exalt_v himself_o be_v bring_v low_o and_o he_o the_o which_o do_v humble_a himself_o be_v exalt_v but_o we_o may_v perceius_fw-la plain_o that_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v few_o of_o our_o young_a youth_n or_o else_o gentle_a man_n as_o you_o will_v term_v they_o that_o will_v enter_v into_o a_o path_n which_o lead_v unto_o humility_n but_o rather_o will_v of_o himself_o be_v so_o obstinate_a that_o he_o will_v not_o force_v friend_n nor_o foe_n but_o wilful_o run_v astray_o ▪_o from_o the_o virtuous_a imitation_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o practice_n and_o if_o his_o friend_n or_o his_o parent_n do_v tell_v he_o of_o the_o same_o than_o he_o be_v straight_o at_o defiance_n with_o they_o and_o thereby_o he_o neglect_v his_o dewetie_n towards_o they_o which_o in_o the_o twenty_o of_o exod._n we_o be_v command_v ▪_o of_o god_n to_o keep_v say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n etc_n etc_n but_o though_o prodigal_a child_n force_v not_o that_o but_o will_v rather_o show_v himself_o obstinate_a against_o they_o than_o dotheyr_n commandmente_n which_o now_o in_o these_o our_o day_n to_o our_o lamentable_a reproach_n be_v to_o much_o see_v and_o prove_v by_o experience_n child_n more_o disobedient_a to_o parent_n i_o think_v be_v never_o see_v child_n and_o young_a man_n more_o edict_v unto_o pride_n and_o prodigality_n i_o judge_v in_o my_o opinion_n be_v never_o hear_v of_o child_n more_o subtle_a and_o crafty_a then_o be_v now_o in_o these_o our_o day_n i_o have_v not_o hard_a of_o for_o now_o the_o young_a teach_v the_o old_a the_o young_a correct_v the_o old_a the_o young_a seek_v for_o the_o superiority_n of_o the_o old_a the_o which_o be_v contrary_a unto_o duty_n for_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a nor_o never_o so_o in_o misery_n if_o he_o be_v old_a those_o which_o be_v young_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o age_n ought_v for_o to_o yield_v reverence_n unto_o they_o and_o not_o stout_o to_o stand_v at_o defiance_n against_o they_o for_o we_o must_v honour_v age_n in_o hope_n that_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v be_v old_a but_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o a_o great_a number_n do_v stray_v from_o the_o same_o perfect_v path_n of_o virtue_n as_o the_o xlij_o child_n do_v which_o mock_v heliseus_fw-la 2._o after_o the_o ascension_n of_o his_o master_n helias_n then_o heliseus_fw-la turn_v again_o and_o curse_v the_o child_n then_o immediate_o two_o she_o bear_v come_v out_o of_o the_o wood_n and_o devour_v they_o this_o example_n i_o do_v bring_v in_o in_o this_o place_n because_o i_o perceive_v that_o the_o world_n be_v at_o this_o stay_n that_o child_n be_v bring_v up_o and_o nuzzle_v in_o wickedness_n when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n they_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o show_v any_o obedience_n to_o their_o parent_n but_o seek_v to_o have_v their_o own_o will_n whereby_o they_o fall_v from_o virtue_n unto_o vice_n and_o so_o advance_v themselves_o even_o to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o prodigal_a porte_fw-fr than_o there_o they_o set_v forth_o themselves_o in_o their_o bravery_n and_o there_o they_o vaunt_v and_o brag_v of_o their_o reputation_n the_o which_o god_n know_v be_v but_o very_o base_a yet_o they_o set_v a_o good_a face_n on_o the_o matter_n and_o will_v not_o lose_v it_o for_o boast_v and_o as_o i_o call_v to_o remembrance_n the_o like_a example_n i_o do_v find_v in_o the_o work_n of_o maturia_n a_o roman_a writer_n that_o verona_n at_o the_o city_n of_o verona_n in_o italy_n there_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n which_o go_v beg_v of_o his_o bread_n for_o want_n of_o any_o other_o relevement_n and_o when_o he_o come_v within_o half_a a_o league_n of_o the_o city_n there_o be_v two_o little_a boy_n play_v together_o which_o keep_v sheep_n out_o of_o the_o corn_n and_o this_o old_a man_n come_v by_o and_o they_o see_v he_o they_o leave_v their_o play_n and_o rail_v upon_o he_o and_o throw_v stone_n at_o he_o and_o with_o dirt_n and_o mud_n they_o sore_o misuse_v he_o than_o the_o old_a man_n say_v take_v head_n child_n that_o you_o do_v not_o reap_v such_o fruit_n as_o your_o seed_n which_o you_o sow_v bring_v forth_o then_o those_o two_o child_n leave_v the_o old_a man_n and_o fall_v to_o wrastle_n together_o hard_a by_o a_o stink_v pit_n of_o mud_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d it_o chance_v that_o the_o two_o boy_n fall_v therein_o both_o together_o one_o have_v hold_n of_o the_o other_o and_o they_o be_v in_o can_v not_o obtain_v no_o rescue_n but_o there_o be_v drown_v thus_o they_o which_o will_v seem_v to_o despise_v age_n otherwise_o then_o duty_n do_v bind_v they_o we_o may_v perceive_v do_v come_v to_o a_o miserable_a end_n now_o whether_o it_o be_v for_o want_n of_o wit_n that_o they_o do_v despise_v he_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v upon_o their_o own_o voluntary_a will_n in_o a_o bravery_n upon_o prodigality_n i_o can_v right_o say_v but_o we_o may_v see_v at_o this_o day_n that_o youth_n be_v wilful_a and_o often_o time_n will_v do_v such_o deed_n which_o do_v not_o become_v they_o and_o again_o many_o of_o their_o parent_n be_v so_o fond_a over_o they_o that_o they_o will_v not_o geve_v correction_n but_o rather_o geve_v occasion_n to_o prompt_v they_o in_o it_o which_o when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n they_o can_v refrain_v it_o but_o must_v needs_o put_v in_o ure_n his_o former_a practice_n this_o be_v a_o other_o cause_n that_o many_o fall_n to_o predigalitie_n and_o include_v vice_n and_o exclude_v virtue_n whereby_o their_o deed_n be_v worthy_a of_o no_o landable_a report_n but_o perpetual_a infamy_n for_o experience_n do_v inform_v we_o that_o always_o the_o do_n of_o the_o prodigal_a wight_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v misery_n as_o for_o example_n julius_n caesar_n that_o worthy_a conquer_v our_o caesar_n be_v so_o radicate_v in_o pride_n and_o prodigality_n that_o he_o think_v himself_o not_o terrestrial_a and_o mortal_a but_o in_o a_o manner_n immortal_a &_o celestial_a whereby_o he_o refrain_v the_o company_n of_o his_o man_n and_o make_v a_o decree_n that_o none_o shall_v come_v to_o he_o un_fw-mi call_v in_o so_o much_o that_o in_o tract_n of_o time_n his_o noble_n envy_v he_o for_o his_o presumption_n and_o special_o marcus_n brutus_n whereby_o his_o life_n be_v often_o in_o danger_n bear_v for_o they_o pretend_v to_o slay_v he_o but_o there_o be_v one_o which_o know_v of_o the_o conspiracy_n and_o he_o bear_v such_o good_a will_n to_o caesar_n that_o he_o think_v to_o geve_v he_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o he_o may_v prevent_v they_o he_o then_o write_v the_o fame_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n in_o a_o bill_n and_o the_o same_o day_n that_o julius_n caesar_n shall_v go_v to_o the_o council_n house_n he_o presume_v contrary_a unto_o the_o king_n commandment_n to_o come_v to_o his_o presence_n and_o deliver_v the_o bill_n to_o he_o but_o he_o be_v proud_a do_v not_o regard_v the_o person_n that_o give_v it_o he_o nor_o yet_o esteem_v the_o bill_n but_o in_o a_o rage_n throw_v it_o away_o and_o deny_v to_o read_v it_o and_o the_o same_o time_n he_o be_v slay_v by_o marcus_n brutus_n and_o more_o of_o the_o confederacy_n which_o be_v appoint_v oh_o end_n most_o miserable_a which_o be_v reap_v unto_o he_o through_o his_o prodigal_a presumption_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n he_o will_v have_v esteem_v the_o man_n that_o write_v the_o bill_n to_o geve_v he_o intelligence_n of_o it_o but_o he_o be_v addict_v to_o glory_n in_o himself_o do_v not_o regard_v nor_o fear_v the_o imminent_a
