their_o school_n and_o unto_o a_o more_o high_a philosophy_n if_o they_o think_v that_o we_o must_v entreat_v of_o such_o matter_n with_o more_o great_a gravity_n &_o modesty_n i_o deny_v not_o that_o

if_o they_o do_v bring_v in_o other_o man_n speak_v and_o dispute_v together_o as_o i_o do_v in_o my_o dialogue_n &_o disputation_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o a_o good_a dialogue_n judgement_n but_o that_o he_o understand_v very_o well_o that_o in_o the_o phrase_n of_o write_v there_o be_v no_o great_a liberty_n and_o licence_n in_o poetry_n than_o dialogue_n and_o talk_v for_o they_o must_v bring_v in_o the_o person_n speak_v according_a to_o he_o who_o they_o represent_v who_o oftentimes_o do_v speak_v more_o after_o their_o sense_n and_o of_o the_o person_n who_o they_o do_v

what_o be_v his_o opinion_n and_o the_o best_a sentence_n therefore_o i_o have_v bring_v in_o four_o man_n of_o diverse_a qualitis_n dialogue_n and_o opinion_n and_o do_v make_v they_o to_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v talk_v off_o at_o this_o day_n among_o man_n and_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o affection_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o i_o have_v bring_v in_o

and_o know_v already_o many_o abuse_n wherefore_o he_o speak_v a_o little_a more_o joyful_o and_o care_v not_o so_o much_o for_o man_n tradition_n and_o be_v not_o so_o affection_a after_o they_o nor_o so_o severe_a as_o the_o first_o who_o be_v yet_o altogether_o root_v in_o these_o old_a superstition_n afterward_o come_v one_o who_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o a_o grave_n &_o honest_a

will_v saeme_v to_o cavil_n because_o it_o seem_v unto_o he_o some_o time_n that_o this_o man_n play_v the_o part_n divine_a of_o a_o mocker_n and_o that_o he_o mingle_v the_o human_a letter_n

that_o it_o serve_v to_o the_o present_a matter_n and_o let_v he_o not_o veer_v himself_o any_o more_o furthermore_o if_o saint_n paul_n by_o occasion_n have_v sometime_o 12._o allege_v the_o witness_n of_o the_o panun_n yea_o of_o poet_n for_o to_o serve_v to_o his_o matter_n and_o if_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o who_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v off_o have_v yet_o do_v more_o and_o their_o book_n have_v serve_v they_o so_o well_o for_o to_o confound_v they_o themselves_o and_o to_o vanquish_v they_o of_o their_o error_n and_o to_o show_v unto_o they_o more_o

how_o the_o superstition_n and_o idolatrye_n of_o the_o christian_n be_v take_v from_o the_o paynim_n and_o idolater_n and_o altogether_o like_a or_o worse_o i_o do_v not_o allege_v they_o for_o that_o god_n truth_n be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o itself_o to_o allow_v and_o maintain_v itself_o but_o for_o to_o make_v all_o thing_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o for_o to_o make_v the_o light_n the_o

to_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o heathen_a man_n for_o saint_n augustine_n which_o be_v one_o of_o our_o doctor_n say_v if_o the_o philosopher_n have_v say_v any_o thing_n confirmable_a unto_o our_o

let_v we_o only_o consider_v how_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v make_v his_o two_o apostle_n saint_n peter_n and_o saint_n paul_n to_o humble_v themselves_o before_o that_o he_o do_v commit_v

more_o great_a sorrow_n nor_o damage_n hillarius_n i_o do_v great_o fear_v lest_o it_o happen_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o the_o labourer_n of_o who_o esope_n speak_v off_o he_o rehearse_v a_o fable_n of_o a_o woman_n who_o have_v new_o bury_v her_o labourer_n husband_n who_o do_v go_v every_o day_n to_o his_o grave_n to_o weep_v and_o lament_v now_o there_o be_v a_o labourer_n which_o plough_v in_o a_o field_n which_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o churchyard_n wherefore_o he_o see_v that_o woman_n and_o be_v in_o love_n with_o she_o insomuch_o that_o he_o leave_v his_o ox_n and_o go_v also_o unto_o the_o grave_n and_o be_v there_o set_v down_o do_v also_o weep_v with_o the_o woman_n when_o the_o woman_n ask_v he_o wherefore_o he_o so_o lament_v he_o answer_v she_o because_o say_v he_o that_o i_o have_v bury_v a_o fair_a and_o a_o honest_a woman_n for_o who_o i_o be_o much_o sorrowful_a and_o sad_a but_o after_o that_o i_o have_v well_o weep_v and_o lament_v i_o be_o ease_v

certain_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o jest_v nor_o crocodile_n tear_n in_o the_o bury_n of_o their_o purgatory_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v dead_a the_o mass_n shall_v not_o live_v long_o after_o and_o so_o they_o shall_v have_v two_o body_n which_o will_v bring_v unto_o they_o great_a sorrow_n and_o heaviness_n but_o i_o believe_v that_o they_o will_v not_o bestow_v so_o much_o

lamentation_n and_o complaint_n to_o move_v they_o the_o better_a to_o pity_v and_o compassion_n upon_o that_o poor_a dead_a body_n for_o i_o think_v that_o i_o do_v hear_v they_o already_o lament_v in_o this_o wise_a now_o let_v we_o lament_v we_o monk_n and_o we_o nun_n priest_n bawd_n and_o whore_n with_o our_o bastard_n son_n for_o now_o the_o hot_a furnace_n quench_v be_v that_o have_v
