they scoffe moke euery yong mane that cometh by them they delyte most in baudi songes Some labore and bryngeth forth pryuely and so they turne other to be common stewes or eles be dryuen to extreme pouertie and so liue in contempte and miseri all their life long What honest yong man wold be copled or content to be ioyned in maryage with such a beaste Then what coste of aparel haue thei the most basse beggerli wemē which haue right nought yet how sūptuously they muste go arayed Amongst the very gentyls a mā shal not find more excesse and pryde in vesture wherfore learne be tyme you Chrysten yonglynges to feare the lorde god And with hole harte mynde harken to the worde of hym euery mornyng the fyrste thīg ye do and euery sonday And let it nothyng perturbe you though ye be gruged or cōtemned therfore for the seruyce of god for thys it ys that pleaseth god most heighli it is no mater whether we lyue or dye to the lorde that is ynoughe for vs what shuld passe for more And thinke this rather and study how you may folow hym And care not for thys vayne sort of men thys rascall rable of ruffeynns whiche can nothyng els but eate and playe 〈◊〉 the streyts to be sene of other And the same I speke to yong maydes lykewyse yf god send vs long lyfe here and we spend it ī wātones in the world to cū we shall be cast into perpetuall fier Hyere my in hys lamentationes .iii. sayth it is good for a man if he bere his yoke ī his youth And good it is for a man yf he teach hys soule in hys youth to beare the yocke of goddes commaundementes if we wyll be contente to serue god then shall the see tempest of our tentations soone swage for the lorde wyll neuer forsake vs. Thei which be elder mē and haue receued light of god ī his gospell know what I sai greatly complayne ther mysery and ingnorance in which they haue bene brought vp and led Oh saye they yf we hadde harde such knowledge in the scripture which now we here thankes be to god we wold neuer haue runned in the anger of god as we haue Yong age maie be wel cōpared to tendre graftes or buddes apte to be bended which waye you wyll yf ye take them in time and while thei be tendre but yf they be ons grouen and paste in bignes it is but loste labor what so euer ye do breake thē you shal sonner than bend them after they be come to there nature The same thīg we see likwise ī brute beastes Take me a lyon and bring hym vp amongest men he wyll be tame And lyke yt ys with children yll education and bryngyng vp maketh much in marring a man filthe wordes and baudy talke is agreate token of a corrupte harte You must take better hede than ye haue done yet what company your chyldren kepe what cōmunycation they vse this shal make you christē people children be as much consecrated to god as though they were a nointed preestes or shauen into any order of relygyon Consyder groundly with thy selfe and tremble yf thou be in the anger of god canste thou slepe quyetly or take any reste Yt wyll vexe an honest man yf hys neybour beare hym dyspleasure And a gentyll chyld yf he see hys father sore angred with hym he can not tell what to do to a voide his displeasur with flatteryng with wepyng he assayeth all wayes he can to be recōsyled a gayne vnto his father Then how much more owght we to proue all meanes we maye to be recōciled to our heauenly father whome we haue offended so oft euery howere whiche hath bothe geuen vs oure body and soule They be but tryfles that our fatheres bestowe apon vs in comparyson to them that we receue of god The lorde our father ones plaged the world with the floode of waters onely reseruynge eyght personnes whome he preseruede from the waters through hys mere grace only Sodome and Gomore with many cyties moo he dystroyed with fyer besydes what an infinite numbre of men haue bene slayne in battayle who wyll not feare thys lord he is slow to anger he graunt tyth vs tyme to repente yeares suffycient He sendith hys prophets before to admonish vs of his anger to come Then yf we take no hyed by hys admonishments hys vengance wyll strycke when we leaste thynke of yt We know no ende of our lyffe death crepeth euery day whyle we be moste in our ruffe and daylye in our pastymes No man hath a commyssyon of hys lyfe how longe to lyue Then why obaye we not the preceptes of god and cease frō oure sinnes which slaye the soule Many deceyue thēselues when they sinne secretly supposyng that god dothe not beholde them yf thou shuldyste walke in a deserte or in the most darkeste wode where no man could cū to the nor see the yet god wolde see thy workes Take hyde of hys vengaunce whiche is so sharpe for we be redy to offences dyueres wher with we greatly prouoke the āger of god Worke ye the dedes that please god for these two go alwayes together to cease frome sinne and to worke charyte If we cease not from sinne we can not worke no goodnes that pleaseth god Let vs demaunde our chyldrē thus what fayth profesest thou doste thou profese that faythe whiche the apostolyke church hath left Tel me the artycles of thy faith I beleue ī god the father almyghty maker of heauen and earthe etc. Let yong men be learned this crede perfectly and let them saye yt not with mouthe But haue yt in there hartes that they may set all there trust a pon God theire maker that bothe he wyll and also is able to defende them Thys it meanyth almyghty God is the maker of all thynges of heauen of earth of thynges vysyble and thynges in visible All thynges that be haue there beyng of god for with out hym nothynge is made Corne wyne oyle wolle and all thynges els yea the Aungelles of heauen All come of god here we muste cōsider that all these thinges were created for vs. Oh what a mercifull father is this whyche hath ordened such thynges for vs so vnworthe wretches what wyll not he graunt vs hereafter what wyll he denye now to hys chylderen vnto elder men and such as be more growne in ther fayth the mystery of the Trynyte must be declared so much as mans weknes may comprehend There is one god whiche made all thinges bothe that are in heauen that are in earth If thou doste trust in god thou mayst be sure the deuill cā not hurte the much lese no mortall creature To beleue in god is to haue a constaunte truste in god and to driue al thine hope in him al other thynges and creatures set a parte and that shall cause vs to loue god truly other els it ys
