O yong man in thy youth But if thou mark Salomon he harpes vpon one string he doubles it againe and againe to shew vs things of his owne experience because we are so forgetfull therof in our selues like the dreamer that forgetteth his dreame and the swearer his swearing So we beg of euery vncleane spirite vntill we haue bumbasted our selues vp to the throate filling euery corner of our harts withal vncleannes and then we are like the Dogge that commeth out of the sinke and maketh euery one as soule as himselfe therefore saith Salomon if any one will learne the way to hell let him take his pleasure me thinkes I see the dialogue betweene the flesh and the Spirite the worst speaketh first and the fleshe saith soule take thine ease eate drinke and goe braue lye softe what else should you doo but take your pleasure thou knowest what a pleasant fellow I haue bene vnto thee thou knowest what delight thou hast had by my meanes but the Soule commeth in burdened with that which hath bene spoken before and saith I pray thee remember Iudgement thou must giue account for all these things for vnles you repent you shall surely perrish no saith the flesh talk not of such graue matters but tell me of fine matters of softe beds and pleasant thinges and talke me of braue pastimes Apes Beares and Puppits for I tell thee the forbidden fruit is the sweetest of all fruites for I doo not like of your telling me of Iudgement but take thou thy Iuels thy Instruement and all the stringes of vanitie will strike at once for the fleshe loues to be braue and tread vpon corkes it cannot tell of what fashion to be of and yet to be of the new fashion Reioyce O young man in thy youth O this goes braue for while wickednes hath cast his rubs and vengeance casts his spurres and his foote and thus she reeles and now she tumbles and then she falles therefore this progresse is ended Pleasure is but a spurre riches but a thorne glorye but a blast beautye but a flower sinne is but an Ipocrite honye in thy mouth and poyson in thy stomacke therefore let vs come againe and aske of Salomon in good sooth whether he meaneth in good earnest when he spake these words O saith Salomon it is the best life in the worlde to goe braue lye softe and liue merily if there were no Iudgement But this Iudgement mares all it is like a damp that puts out al the light and like a boxe that mareth all the ointement for if this be true we haue spunne a faire thrid that we must answere for all that are not able to answere for one why Salomon maketh vs fooles and giueth vs gaudes to playe withall what then shall we not reioyce at all yes there is a godlye mirth and if we could hit on it which is called be merrye and wise Sara laughed and was reproued Abraham laughed and was not reproued And thus much for the first parte But remember that for all these things thou shalt come to Iudgement This verse is as it were a dialogue betwixt the flesh and the spirite as the two counsellers the worst is first and the flesh speaketh proudly but the spirit comes in burdened with that which hath bene spoken The fleshe goeth laughing and singing to hell but the spirite casteth rubs in his way and puts him in minde of iudgment that for all these things now endes reioyce and heare comes in but if this but were not we might reioyce still if young men must for all the sportes of youth what then shall olde men doo being as they are now surely if Salomon liued to see our olde men liue now as here he saith of yong men so high as sinne rageth yet vengance sits aboue it as high as high Babell Me thinks I se a Sword hang in the aire by a twine thrid and all the Sonnes of men labour to burst it in sunder there is a place in hell where the couetous Iudge sitteth the greedy Lawyer the griping Landlord the careles Bishop the lustye youth the wanton dames the theefe the robbers of the cōmonwealth they are punished in this life because they neuer left sin as long as they could while mercy was offered vnto them therefore because they would not be washed they shall be drowned now put together reioyce and remember thou hast learned to be merrye now learne to be wise now therfore turne ouer a new lease and take a new lesson for now Salomon mocketh not as he did before therfore a checke to thy russes a check to thy cusses a check to thy robes a check to thy golde a check to your riches a checke to your beautye a check to your muck a check to your graues woe from aboue woe from belowe woe to all the stringes of vanitie doost thou not now maruel that thou hadst not a feeling of sinne for now thou seest Salomon saith true thine owne hart can tell that it is wicked but it cannot amend therfore it is high time to amend as Nathan cōmeth to Dauid after Belsebub so commeth accusing conscience after sinne me thinkes that euery one should haue a feeling of sinne though this daye be like yesterday and to morrow like to day yet one day will come for all and then woe woe woe and nothing but darkenes and though God came not to Adam vntil the euening yet he came although the fier came not vpon Sodome vntill the euening yet hee came and so comes the Iudge although he be not yet come though he haue leaden feete he hath iron handes the arrowe flyeth and is not yet fallen so is his wrath the pit is digged the fier kindled and all thinges are made ready and prepared against that day onelye the small sentence is to come which will not long tarry you may not thinke to be like to the theefe that stealeth and is not seene nothing can be hid from him and the iudge followeth thee at the heeles and therefore whatsoeuer thou art look about thee and doo nothing but that thou wouldst do openly for al things are opened vnto him Sara may not think to laugh and not be seene Gehezi may not think to lye and not be knowne they that will not come to the banquet must stand at the doore What do ye not think that God doth not remember our sinnes which we doo not regarde for while we sinne the score runs on and the Iudge setteth downe all in the Table of remembrance his scrole reacheth vp to heuen Item for lending to Vsury Item for racking of rents Item for deceiuing thy brethern Item for falshood in wares Itē for starching thy ruffes Item for curling thy haire Item for painting thy face Item for selling of Benifices Item for staruing of Soules Item for playing at Cardes Item for sleeping in the Church Item for prophaning the Saboth day with a number more hath God to call to account for euery one must
