In this case, the good father calleth his son unto him, and exhorteth him in this manner. My son hearken unto me: these be the last words, which I shall speak unto thee. Thou seest in me the weakness and decay of flesh: thou shalt be, as I am now One passeth before another, the world and the beauty thereof fade away, and come to an end. Trust not the world, it will deceive thee: walk advisedly: know that thou shalt give an account of thy doings. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of christ. 1that every man may receive the things which are done in his body, according to that he ⟨image 188⟩hath done, whether it be good or evil.

Deceive no man by wrongful dealing: increase not thy goods by extortion, nor by usury: he that giveth his money unto usury, shall not enter into the tabernacle of the Lord. He that taketh usury of his neighbour, killeth him without a sword. The Lord will avenge it: he will not bless ill gotten goods: they cannot prosper: they will never continue, nor remain unto the third heir.
