of_o dives_n and_o lazarus_n we_o may_v learn_v many_o useful_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n such_o as_o these_o 1._o that_o rich_a man_n must_v give_v a_o account_n how_o they_o have_v lay_v out_o their_o riches_n rich_a man_n be_v steward_n and_o it_o be_v requisite_a in_o steward_n that_o they_o be_v find_v faithful_a they_o must_v not_o lay_v out_o their_o lord_n money_n upon_o themselves_o their_o own_o back_n and_o belly_n and_o let_v the_o poor_a such_o as_o lazarus_n their_o fellow-creature_n and_o fellow-servant_n and_o their_o own_o brethren_n to_o starve_v at_o their_o gate_n manus_fw-la pauperis_fw-la the_o saurus_fw-la christi_fw-la and_o rich_a man_n must_v cast_v into_o christ_n treasury_n of_o their_o abundance_n 2._o that_o rich_a man_n must_v be_v careful_a not_o only_o not_o to_o hurt_v the_o poor_a but_o to_o relieve_v they_o they_o must_v not_o be_v dives_n to_o do_v good_a to_o themselves_o only_o but_o like_o the_o good_a samaritan_n do_v good_a unto_o they_o that_o be_v in_o necessity_n and_o in_o extremity_n dives_n be_v blame_v and_o condemn_v not_o for_o take_v away_o from_o the_o poor_a by_o oppression_n or_o injustice_n but_o for_o not_o communicate_v to_o poor_a lazarus_n in_o his_o necessity_n in_o his_o extremity_n 3._o that_o man_n may_v sin_v in_o the_o misuse_n of_o lawful_a thing_n of_o outward_a comfort_n and_o enjoyment_n purple_a fine_a linen_n delicate_a fare_n music_n be_v all_o lawful_a to_o be_v use_v but_o dives_n do_v not_o use_v they_o lawful_o in_o licitis_fw-la perimus_fw-la omnes_fw-la we_o must_v not_o use_v our_o lawful_a enjoyment_n unreasonable_o nor_o excessive_o nor_o make_v every_o day_n a_o feast-day_n we_o must_v not_o forget_v the_o affliction_n of_o joseph_n in_o the_o prison_n nor_o themisery_n and_o necessity_n of_o lazarus_n at_o our_o gate_n 4._o that_o good_a man_n may_v have_v evil_a thing_n in_o this_o life_n and_o evil_a man_n good_a thing_n dives_n have_v his_o good_a thing_n here_o and_o lazarus_n his_o evil_a thing_n i_o know_v this_o be_v a_o bard_n say_v who_o can_v bear_v it_o this_o be_v it_o that_o have_v trouble_v heathen_a philosopher_n jewish_a rabbi_n and_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n yea_o that_o it_o be_v malis_fw-la bene_fw-la and_o bonis_fw-la male_a have_v be_v a_o trouble_n to_o some_o of_o the_o best_a man_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o job_n to_o jeremy_n to_o david_n to_o habakkuk_n but_o let_v we_o not_o judge_v of_o god_n work_n till_o he_o have_v finish_v they_o wait_v but_o a_o while_n and_o thou_o shall_v see_v a_o dives_fw-la in_o hell_n and_o a_o lazarus_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o then_o god_n will_v be_v clear_v and_o justify_v and_o all_o the_o world_n will_v become_v silent_a before_o god_n 5._o that_o some_o man_n be_v more_o kind_a to_o their_o dog_n then_o to_o the_o poor_a some_o there_o be_v who_o take_v the_o child_n bread_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o dog_n but_o grudge_v to_o give_v the_o dog_n portion_n to_o the_o child_n to_o such_o i_o shall_v commend_v the_o example_n of_o amideus_n duke_n of_o savoy_n sometime_o choose_v pope_n but_o too_o good_a a_o man_n for_o so_o bad_a a_o office_n who_o show_v a_o hall_n full_a of_o poor_a people_n feed_v by_o he_o daily_o when_o it_o be_v expect_v he_o shall_v have_v show_v his_o hound_n and_o say_v these_o be_v the_o hound_n wherewith_o i_o hunt_v after_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 6._o that_o lazarus_n receive_v more_o kindness_n from_o dives_n his_o dog_n then_o from_o himself_o humaniores_fw-la say_v one_o fuerunt_fw-la cane_n hominibus_fw-la the_o dog_n be_v more_o hospitable_a than_o the_o master_n or_o his_o servant_n and_o yet_o say_v one_o canis_fw-la est_fw-la latrare_fw-la peregrinos_fw-la

stranger_n 7._o that_o like_a master_n like_o servant_n no_o man_n give_v unto_o he_o the_o master_n will_v not_o give_v he_o a_o bit_n from_o his_o table_n and_o the_o servant_n will_v none_o of_o they_o give_v he_o a_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o the_o table_n 8._o that_o even_o dive_v in_o hell_n seem_v to_o have_v more_o charity_n and_o kindness_n to_o his_o brethren_n especial_o to_o their_o soul_n than_o many_o man_n on_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n he_o will_v have_v use_v mean_n to_o save_v
