This is the train that followeth Lady Faith, as for an example. ⟨image 104⟩An unfaithful Judge hath first an heavy reckoning of his fault, repenting him self of his wickedness, and then forsaketh his iniquity, his impiety, fearing of no man, walks upright, and he that doeth not thus, hath not Lady faith, but rather a boldness of sin and abusing of Christs passion. Lady faith is never without her Gentle man usher.¹ nor without her train, she is no Anchoress, she dwells not alone, she is never a private woman, she is never alone and yet many there be that boast them selves that they have faith, and that when Christ shall come they shall do well enough. Nay nay, these that be faithful shall be so few, that Christ shall ⟨image 105⟩scarce see them. Many there be that runs sayeth Saint Paul, but there is but one that receiveth the reward, it shall be with the multitude when he shall come, as it was in the time of Noah, and as it was in time of Loth.

Thys is the trayne that foloweth Lady Faieth, as for anexemple. ⟨image 104⟩An vnfaythful Iudge hath fyrst an heauye rekenyng of his faulte, repentynge hym selfe of his wickednes, and then forsaketh his iniquity, hys impeietie, fearring of no man, walkes vpright, and he yt doeth not thus, hath not Ladye fayeth, but rather a boldnes of synne and abusynge of Christes passion. Ladye faieth is neuer withoute hyr Gentyll man vshere.¹ nor wythout hyr trayne, shee is no Anckres, she dwelles not alone, shee is neuer a pryuate woman, shee is neuer alone and yet manye therbe that boste thē selues that they haue fayeth, and that when Christ shal come they shal do well inough. Naye naye, these that be fayethfull shall be so fewe, that Christ shal ⟨image 105⟩skarce se them. Manye there be that runnes sayeth Sayncte Paule, but there is but one that receyueth the rewarde, it shall be wyth the multytude when he shall come, as it was in the tyme of Noe, and as it was in tyme of Loth.
