unlawful_a pleasure_n of_o this_o present_a life_n i_o think_v it_o not_o unprofitable_a in_o this_o point_n to_o relate_v unto_o a_o discurse_n which_o i_o have_v read_v between_o a_o friar_n and_o a_o young_a gallant_a the_o young_a man_n see_v the_o friar_n go_v barefoot_a and_o to_o look_v pale_a with_o fast_v ask_v he_o why_o he_o do_v undergo_v all_o this_o austerity_n and_o deprive_v himself_o of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n the_o friar_n answer_v he_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v thereby_o appease_v god_n anger_n and_o to_o escape_v the_o eternal_a torment_n of_o hell_n but_o say_v the_o young_a man_n what_o if_o there_o be_v no_o hell_n be_v not_o thou_o then_o a_o great_a fool_n who_o do_v do_v and_o suffer_v all_o this_o to_o no_o purpose_n to_o which_o the_o friar_n reply_v but_o if_o there_o be_v as_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o hell_n a_o place_n of_o unsufferable_a and_o endless_a torment_n be_v not_o your_o worship_n a_o great_a fool_n who_o to_o enjoy_v the_o sinful_a pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n for_o a_o short_a season_n do_v hazard_v the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o your_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o indeed_o what_o great_a madness_n can_v there_o be_v than_o to_o refuse_v the_o short_a pain_n which_o be_v to_o be_v undergo_v by_o those_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o this_o life_n and_o
