yeare as Pryme tyme is the spring of the yeare as Februarye March and Aprill In these three months euery greene thing growing begynneth to budde and floorishe Then commeth sommer as Maye Iune and Iuly and these three monethes euery herbe grayne and tree is in his kinde in hys most strength and beauty and then the sunne is at the highest Then commeth Autumne as August September and Detober that al these fruites waxen rype and bene gathered and housed Then commeth nouember December and Ianuarie and these three monethes be in the winter that time the sunne is at the lowest and is at the tyme of little profite as we Astronomers saye that the age of man is lxxii yere and that we lyken but one whole yere for euermore we take syxe yeare for euery moneth as Ianuary or Februarye and so forth For 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 age of lxxii ¶ Here followeth to show howe a man chaungeth xii times euen as the xii months doeth HE must take the first vi yeare for Ianuary the which is of no vertue nor strēgth in that season nothing on the earth groweth So man after that hee is borne till he be vi yeare of age is wyth little or no witte strength or cunning and maye doe little or nothing that commeth to any profite Then 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 party goodes encreaseth abundauntly Then commeth the younge man to gather the sweete flowers of hardinesse but then beware that the colde wyndes and stormes of vices beate not downe the flowers of good maners that shoulde bring man to honoure for then is he xxiiii yeare of age Then commeth Maye that is both fayre and pleasaunte for then Byrdes sing in woodes and Forestes nyght and daye the sunne shyneth hote as then man is most lusty mighty and of deliuer strength and seeketh playes sportes and manly pastimes for then is he full xxx yeares of age Then commeth Iune and then is the sunne 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 himselfe vnto God for to do penance good workes and then the benefites the yere after his death he may gather and haue spirituall profyte and then man is fully the tearme of lx yeares Then commeth Nouember that the dayes be very short and the sunne in manner giueth but little heate and the trees losen their leaues The fields that were greene looketh hoare and gray Then al manner of hearbes bene hyd in the ground and then appeareth no flowers and then wynter is come that the man hath vnderstanding of age and hath lost hys kindly hete and strength hys teeth begin to rotee and to fayle hym And 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
