be noysome and after labour it well and then sow good seeds In like wise a man should labour and cleanse his conscience of all his sins labour by holy meditations and sow vertues and good operations for to gather fruit of everlasting life Then sith that here before hath been spoken of vices rudely and lightly now it behoveth hereafter to speak of vertues in the third part of this present book the which shall be as a little garden pleasant full of trees flowers in the which the contemplative person may sport play by good ensignments gather sundry vertues and edify himself in good exercise wherewith his soul shall bee enormed and ordained after his spouse Iesus Christ when he shall come to visit and dwell with him In the beginning of the which part shall be the Orason dominicall of our Lord with the declaration the better to understand it and the said part shall contain six parts The first part shall be the declaration of the said prayer the second of the salutation Angelike that Gabriel made to Mary when shee conceived her child Iesus the third shall be of the twelve articles of our faith the iv shall be of the ten Commandements of the Law the v. shal be of the field of vertues For the first ye ought to know that by the orison of our Lord that is the Pater noster when wee say it wee demand of God suffisance of all things necessary for salute and help of our souls and of our bodys not only for us but for all other and for all this cause we ought to have the said orison in great contemplation say it with great devotion unto God And unto young people it should be taught and said to them for though they understand it not yet it profiteth them to have the kingdom of heaven and they say it in perfect love and charity In the Pater noster we ask seven petitions by each petition we may understand seven other things as the seven Sacraments of holy Church the seven gifts of the holy ghost the seven armours of iustice spirituall The seven vertues principall that wee should exercise The seven works of mercy bodily The seven works of mercy ghostly The seven deadly sinnes that we should dread The declaration is this Our father which art in heaven thy name be made holy In this petition we ask of God our Father to be his Sons for otherwise we cannot be called his Sons nor he our Father and that his name may be made by us more holy than any other thing wherefore we receive the Sacrament of baptism without that man may not be made the Son of God and to receive the vertue of meeknesse against pride and then to cloth the naked and help the needy both bodily and ghostly The second is thy kingdome come to us in this petition Insomuch the name of God may not be perfectly hallowed of us in this world we ask his realm in the which perfectly we shall hallow it for to that kingdome we be very heirs This petition is the sacrament of priesthood by the which we are taught to good works and the gift of the holy ghost is the gift of understanding for to understand and desire the kingdome of heaven and we arm us with the helm of largess against covetous The third petition is thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven for it is the perfect will of God that his will should be fulfilled that is his commandement by this petition we make obeisance to God in our hearts when we desire to do his will by this is understood the sacrament of marriage by the which we avoid fornication and the gift of counsell of the holy ghost for to order our obeysance veritably and so we arm us with the armour of salvation against Envy The fourth petition is our daily bread give us this day Here we ask of God to be sustained with materiall bread for our bodies and spirituall bread for our souls that is the bread of life the body of Iesus Christ the which wee receive by faith in mind of his passion The gift of the holy ghost is strength to be faithfull in our belief take we the sword of patience against the sinne of ire and visit the sick men bodily and use vertue of temperance against wrath The fift petition is forgive us our sinnes as we forgive all men for trust well he that will not forgive for the love of God God will never forgive him his sinnes And these three petitions following we ask of God to be delivered from all evill as of the sin that we have done deadly and by these wee ask of God to be assoiled and to give us pardon by his mercy by the which we understand the sacrament of penance and forgiveness of sinne the holy ghosts gift is science for to understand the works of mercy and to escape sin And so clothe us with lightnes against covetise comfort poor prisoners and give good counsell to them that ask and need it and take the vertue of faith against covetise The vi petition is suffer us not to be overcome in temptation by the second evill that is done but it may happen and we fall by the way of temptation Here we ask of God to be stedfast in the faith that we may gladly do good works in the vertue of hope and strength to do good deeds and to withstand temptation to the which profiteth to us the sacrament of confirmation which giveth to us the knowledge of God by the vertue of verity The gift of the holy ghost so take we the spear of soberness against gluttony comfort Pilgrims by vertue of hope The vii petition is to deliver us from evill Amen The third evill is evill of pain that sinners may have if they serve not God by this petition we ask that we may be delivered from all pains and saved in Paradice unto this say we all Amen By these we ask so it be done as we desire By the which we receive

bury we them that be dead bodily and pray for our enemies ghostly get in us the vertue of charity and eschue the sin of letchery Thus endeth the Salutary science of the garden of vertues CHAP. X. Hereafter followeth another declaration of the Pater noster OVr Father right marvellous in his creation sweet and loving rich of all goods that be in heaven mirror of trinity crown of iocundity and treasure of felicity Holy be thy name and sweet as hony in our mouth thou art the melodious harp that causeth devotion to sound in our ears and to have it continually by the desire of our hearts Thy realm come to us in the which we shall be
commandements of God and doe all good workes that we should have accustomed The third coniecture is when wee hear gladly the word of God as Sermons and good counsellers for our saluation The fourth when we be sorry and contrite at our heart to have commised and done any sin The fift is when with good purpose and will of our selves we persever to keep us from sin in time to come These coniectures be they whereby Shepheards and lay people know if they be in his grace or not as much as in them is possible to know The sixt thing that every man ought to know is God for all men ought to know God for to accomplish his will and commandement by the which he would be loved with all thy heart with all thy soul and with all the force that we have which we may not doe if we know him not then who that would love God ought to know him and the more that they know him the more they love him wherefore hereafter shall be said how Shepheards and simple people doe know him Shepheards and simple people for to have knowledge of God of their possibility considering 3 things The first is that they consider the right great riches of God his puissance his soveraign dignity his soveraign noblenesse his soveraign ioy and blisse The second is for they consider the right noble right great and marvellous operations and workes of our Lord God And the third consideration is for they consider the innumerable benefits that they have received of God and that continually every day they receive of him and by these considerations they come to his cognisance and knowledge First to know God Shepheards and lay people consider his great riches plenteous abundance of the goodnesse that he hath for all the treasures and riches of heaven and of the earth bee his and all goodnesse he hath made of the which he is fountaine creator and master and distributeth them largely unto every creature and he hath no need of any other Wherfore it behoveth to say that he is right rich Secōdly he is right puissant for by his great puissance hee hath made heaven earth and the sea with all things contained in them and might undoe them if it were his will unto the which puissance all other be subiect and tremble before him for his great excellency And who that would consider every work of God should find enough to marvell on By the first of these consideratiōs God is known to be right rich by gifts that he giveth to his friends and by the second he is known right puissant for to avenge him on his enemies Thirdly he is soveraignly worthie for all the things of heaven and earth oweth him honour and reverence as to their Creatour and him that made them as wee see children honour father and mother of whom they be descended by a generation and all things be descended of God by a creation to whom ought to be given great reverence and he is so worthie Fourthly hee is soveraignly noble for who that is soveraignly rich puissant and worthie him behoveth to be soveraignlie noble but none other but God hath riches puissance and dignity as he hath wherfore of such nobles ought to be said that he is right noble Fifthly he hath soveraign ioy for he that is rich puissant worthie and right noble is not without soveraign ioy and this ioy is full of all goodnesse and ought to be our felicitie to the which we hope to come That is to know and see God in his soveraign ioy and gladnesse for to have with him eternall ioy that ever shall endure And this is the first consideration of GOD. that shepheards and other simple people ought to have Secondly for to know God considering his great noblenesse and marvellous workes the bounty and the beauty of the things that he hath made for it is commonly said one may know the workman by the work· Knowledge wee then the work of God and knowledge we that his beauty bounty shineth in the operations that he hath made which if they bee fair and good the workman that hath made them must needs bee fair and good without comparison more than any thing that he hath made Be it considered of the heavens and the things therein set what noble and marvellous work how may one consider their excellence beauty Bee it considered also as we may of the earth the right noble marvellous works of God the gold the silver and all manner of metals precious stones in it the fruits that it beareth the trees the beasts that it sustaineth and of the bountie that it nourisheth Be it in like wise considered of the sea the rivers the fish nourished in them The weather the elements the ayre the winds the birds that flie in them and all the usage and service of men And consider the workeman that of his puissance hath made all by his sapience hath right well ordered his works and governeth them by his great bounty and by this manner we may know God as shepheards and simple folkes in considering his work Thirdly for to know God consider the great benefits that we receive daily of him which may not be numbred for their great multitude nor spoken of for their noblenesse dignity albeit in their hearts be vi principally noted For the which another Shepheard giving praises to God said in this manner Lord God I know thou hast indued me with thy infinit benefits by thy great bounty First the benefit of thy creation by the which thou madest me a reasonable man unto thy image and similitude giving me body and soul and raiment to clothe me Lord thou hast given me my wits of nature understanding for to govern my life my health my beautie my strength and my science for to get my living honestly I yeeld to thee graces and great thankes Secondly Lord I know the goodnes of my redemption how by thy misericordious pity thou boughtst me dearly by the affection of thy most precious bloud paines and torments that for me thou hast suffered finally endured death thou hast given me thy body thy soul and thy life for to keep me from damnation wherefore humblie I yeeld to thee graces and great thankes Thirdlie Lord I know the goodnesse of my vocation how of thy great grace thou hast called me again for to inherit thy eternall benediction and also thou hast given unto me faith and knowledge of thine owne self as baptism and all the other sacraments that none intendment may comprize their noblenesse and dignity that so many times hath pardoned me of my sinnes Lord I know that this is to mee a singular gift that thou hast not given to them which have no knowledge of thee whereof I am more beholding humblie bound I yeeld thee graces and thanks Fourthly Lord I knowledge that thou hast given this world and the things that be therein made for my

XXXI Here followeth the shepheards Astrology WHo that will as shepheards that keep sheep in the fieldes without knowing any letter save only by some figures that they make in little Tables of wood have knowledge of the movings and properties of the heavens And divers other things contained in this present compost and Kalender of shepheards the which is extract and composed out of their kalender put in letters so that each may comprise know as they things above said First one ought to know what the figure is the disposition of the world the number and order of the Elements and the movings of Skies appertaineth to be known of every man of free condition and noble engin For it is a fair thing delectable profitale and honest and therewith it is necessary to have divers other knowledges in especiall for the Astrology of shepheards which sheweth how the world is round as a ball And after wise men say there is nothing so round as it For it is rounder than any thing artificiall And moreover in this world we see nothing ne never shall that is so iust and equall round as it self is and is composed of the heaven and the four elements in five princiâ—all parts After that a person ought to know that the earth is in the middle of the world for it is the heaviest element Vpon the earth is the water or the sea but it covereth not the earth to the end that men and beasts may live therein and the part that is uncovered is call'd the face of the earth for it is as the face of a man alwayes uncovered and the part which is covered with water is as the body of man which is cloathed hid On the water is the ayr that incloseth the earth the water and is divided into three Regions one is low whereas inhabiteth beasts and birds another mean whereas been the cloudes the which maketh the impressions as lightnings thunder and other is alway cold the third is the highest whereas is neither wind nor rain nor tempest nor other impressions there be some mountaines that attain unto it as is Olympus that reacheth the highest region of the ayr and the element of fire mounteth to the sky the elements sustaineth the skies as pillars or beames sustaineth a house Of such mouÌ„tains is one in Afâ—â—câ— named Atlas After that is the element of fire which is neither flame ne coales but is pure invisible for the great brightnesse for so much as the water is more clear and light than the earth and the ayr more cleer and light than the water of so much the fire is more cleer light and fayrer than ayr and the skies in equipollent been clearer lighter fairer than the fire the which turneth with the movings of the heavens and the next region of the ayr also in the which is ingendred comets the which been called starres for so much as they be shining and move as stars After the saying of some shepheards the fire is invisible for his subtilty and not for his cleernesse forasmuch as a thing is more cleer of so much it is the more visible for we see the skies well but not the fire for it is overmuch more subtile than the ayr that is invisible for the same cause the earth and the water be thick and therefore they be visible The skies be neither properly heavy ne lighht hard ne soft cleer ne dark hot ne cold sweet ne soure colour ne sound ne such other qualities save that they be hot in vertue for they may cause heat here beneath by their lights movings and influences and be improperly hard for they may not be divided ne broken And also they be improperly colours of light in some parts and bee thick as be the partes of the Stars In the which there may no star nor other party be anusted put to nor none maye be diminished ne taken away and they may neither increase ne wax lesse nor be of other figure than round ne they may not change ne pair ne wax old ne be corrupted ne altered but in light only as in tyme of the Eclipse of the Son and Moon ne they may not rest and stand still ne turn any other wayes later ne sooner in part ne all ne behave them otherwise than after their common course but by miracle divine and therefore the Stars and skies be of another nature than the elements and the things of them composed the which be transmutable and corruptible The Elements and all things of them composed be inclosed within the first skie as the yolke of an eg is inclosed within the white and the first skie is inclosed of the second and the second in the third and the third in the fourth and so of the other The first skie next the elements is the sky of the Moon next is the sky of Mercury and next is the sky of Venus then is the sky of the Sun then is of Mars then of Iupiter and after it of Saturn And thus be the skies of the planets after their order The eighth sky is of the stars fixed and bee called so for that they move more regularly and after one guise than the planets doe Then above which is the first mobile in the which nothing appeareth as shepheards may see Some shepheards say above this ninth skie is one Immobile for it turneth not and above that is one of christall over the which is the sky imperiall in the which is the throne of God of the which sky shepheards ought not to speak but onely of the first mobile and that it containeth all together called the world Of one thing they marvell much that is how God hath distributed the stars that he hath put none in the ninth sky and hath put so many in the eight sky that they may not be numbred and in each of the other seven but one onely in calling the sun and the moon stars as appeareth in the figure hereafter Hereafter the great master Shepheard sheweth more plainly of the four elements and of the similitude of the earth how that every planet is one above another and telleth which of them be masculine as these five Saturn Jupiter Mars Sol and Mercury And of two feminine as Venus and Luna And which of them is northerly and southerly and which be orientall or occidentall CHAP.
