Those fellows are […] wide, let them come to gods […] house, that is to say, let them come to god, & call upon him with a good faith, saying: Our father give us this day our Daily bread, truly god will hear them. For this is yt only remedy that we have here in earth, to come to his treasure house, & […] there such1 things as we lack. Consider this word daily, God promiseth us to feed us daily. If ye believe this, why use ye than falsehood and deceit? Therefore good people leave your falsehood, get you rather to this treasure house, then you may be sure of a living: for god hath determined that all that come unto him desi ring his help, they shall be holpen, god will not forget them. But our […] is so great, we will not come unto him, we will rather go about to get our living with falsehood, than desire yt same of hi. O what falsehood is used in England, yea in yt hole world? It were not […] if the fire from heaven fell upon us like as it did upon yt Sodomites, only for our falsehoods sake. I will tell you of some which are practised in my country2 where I dwell. But I will not tell it you to teach you to do yt same, but rather to abhor it. For those which use such deceitfulness shall be damned world without […], except they repent I have known some that had a barren […], they would fain have had a great deal of money for her, therefore they go & take a calf of another cow, & put it to this barren cow, & so come to yt market, pretending that this cow hath brought yt calf & so they sell their barren cow 6. 02. 8. […]. dearer than they should have […] ⟨image 45⟩else. The man which bought the cow cometh home, peradventure he hath a many of children, and hath no more cattle but this cow, and thinketh he shall have some milk for his children: but when all things cometh to pass, this is a barren cow, and so this poor man is deceived. The other fellow which sold the cow, thinketh him self a […] fellow, and a wise merchant, and he is called one that can make shift for himself. But I tell thee, who so ever thou art, do so if thou lust, thou shalt do it of this price: thou shalt go to the devil: and there be hanged on the fiery gallows world without end: and thou art as very a these as3 when thou takest a mans purse from him going by the way, & thou sinnest as well against this commandement, Non […] furtū, Thou shalt do no theft.
