chapiter meaneth by the good tree which Paule calleth the spirite and her fruictes doeth Paule call the deedes of the spirite Where he excludeth the fleshe with all her appetites lustes and concupiscences And that that Matthewe calleth the euil tree Paule calleth the fleshe and by the fruictes thereof the deedes of the fleshe In the whiche is conteined all your fleshly pastymes honest recreations sober refreshyng of the wit with suche like And where Matthewe saieth that euery euill tree shall bee cutte doune and caste into the fire Paule saieth manifestly that as many as commit suche thynges shall not inherite the kyngdome of god And to be excluded out of the kyngdome of GOD and to be hewen doune and caste into the fire Is to taiste dampnation For howe farre was that braunche from dampnation that was cutte from the tree and cast into the fire After his fine Reines and Purple and delicious fare doeth not the texte saie that he descended into hell and was sore tormēted in the flambe Paule also to the Ephesians saieth that neither filthinesse neither foolishe talkyng neither iestyng whiche are not comely neither any vncleane persone hath any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe and of god And how farre is it thinke ye from dampnation to bee separate and deuided from the kyngdome of Christe and god Is there any Saluation but in Christe onely Luke saieth plainly naye There is none other name giuen vnto vs wherin we must be saued And therefore saieth Matthewe in his firste Chapiter that he shall saue the people from their synne Then is there no Saluation saue onely in Christe then without Christe is there nothyng but dampnation And is there any life but in GOD onely Sainct Ihon saieth naie in his firste Chapiter of his Gospell Nowe for as muche as there is no saluation but in Christe onely and no life but in God and seyng also that to haue no saluation nor life in god is plain dampnation then the deedes of the fleshe as youre fore saied pastymes are plaine dampnation because thei haue no saluation in Christe nor life in God nor any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of God and Christe Now see you plainely that these filthie deedes of the fleshe as the games before named when thei are moste purely vsed are of like dampnatiō with murther and thefte Ergo thei are like wicked and abhominable At this tyme satisfie your selues I praie you with these smal warnynges gentle admonitions and daungerous threatenynges and if ye regarde not this then suppose not the contrarie but that there shall bee a more weightier matter laied to your charge and the spirit of Goddes mouthe shall destroye bothe you and thē together Therefore awake betyme and putte from you the woorkes of darkenesse that you maie walke honestly while it is daie Now at the laste you saie for the passing awaie of the tyme wee maie exercise suche vaine pastymes and recreations and that I wil goe aboute to withdrawe honeste menne from their honeste fellowshippes familiare neighbourhoode neighbourly metinges and assemblies And will also I am sure demaunde of me what I would honeste companie should doe How I would thei should bee occupied and passe awaie the tyme the howers the daies and the nightes If all these before named pastymes and recreations were laied a side I shall shortely saciate this question euen with the saiyng of Salomon in his Prouerbes who saith thus Giue not the foole an aunswere after his foolishenesse least thou become like vnto hym But make the foole an aunswere accordyng to his foolishnesse least he bée wise in his owne conceipte Here maie you perceiue if you liste that I compte not this question verie wise For the fleshely children of this wicked worlde thinke this a right notable question Yea and worthie to bee soluted or aunswered with greate witte discretion and learnyng when in verie deede it is nothing els but vnlearned and witlesse and therefore accordyng to the Prouerbes of Salomō not worthie to be aunswered leaste the foolishe reioyce in his folie For if this question or suche like were worthie aunswere and that a man were bounde to satisfie them I dare boldly saie that there should bee more questions then might well either with reason or learnyng bée aunswered For this question is a greate deale meeter for Ethenickes Turckes Iewes and Sarasins then it is for sober menne then it is for discrete menne then it is for Christian men or for godlie disposed persones For will not the banketters thinke ye after their gurgitation and rauenous deuouryng of their deintie meates and sweete wines demaunde with idle braines and beallies what shall wée dooe all this daie How shall we bryng this longe daie at an ende How shall we spende our tyme Is not there thinke you good honeste and verteous bargaines made with we twoo against you twoo for what wager so euer ye will either at Tables Dice Cardes Tennis or Bowles as longe as a Riall twentie shillynges or fowertie shillynges will laste or till wee goe to Supper And to make vp the bargaine thei lashe out one othe vpon an other in suche wise that there shall bee neuer a member of Christ vnsought or torne so that it maie come to memorie Yea the honestest mā in a toune if he beginne once to face will thinke scorne to bee outsworne for fourtie shillynges at Bowles Cardes Tables or Dice Will not drounkardes also muse with them selues where thei maie gette a companie meete for their diete to passe awaie the tyme in glossyng and gullyng either at suche tyme as it wer more méete for them to please their Lorde god If thei be of the Spirituall sorte with labouryng in the sacred woorde of God to ●eede their flocke on the Sabboth or holy daie nexte insuyng Or if thei bee of the laye sorte to bee occupied in his misterie or occupation for his housholde or familie or els at suche tyme as it were meete for sober discrete and honeste menne to be at their rest For the which thing God made the night What dooe poore labouryng menne that haue twoo or three children and nothyng but their manuall and handie craft to succour them selues their wife and familie Will not thei thinke you also studie to riotte aboute streates and lanes searching out a companie mete for them in Ale houses and béere houses and inuente how their may bryng the day at an ende and occupie their tyme in riot and gamenyng their wiues and children in the meane while at home criyng out for victualles and can gette none for the good manne of the house hath bestowed al his money so warely at Sice and Cinck or haue at all or at the Spades Hartes Diamondes and Clubbes and commeth home at nighte with as many faces as a Shéepe can speake neuer a good worde neither to wife nor childe and yet notwithstandyng muste it bee called an honeste pastime and sober refreshyng of the witte And thus dooe thei passe
