But these fellows commonly which use such deceitfulness and guiles, can speak so finely, that a man would think butter should scant melt in their mouths.
But these felowes commonly which vse suche deceiptfulnesse and guyles, can speake so fyne ly, that a man would thynke butter shold scant melte in theyr mouthes.
I […] you one other falsehood: I know that some husband1 men go to the market with a quarter of corn: Now they would fain sell deer the worst as well as the best, therefore they use this policy, they go and put a strike of fine malt or corn in the bottom of the sack, than they put. […]. strike of the worst that they had: than a good strike aloft in the sacks mouth, and so they come to the market. Now there cometh a buyer, asking, Sir is this good malt? I warrant you saith he, there is no better in this town: and so he selleth all his malt or corn for the best, when there be but. ii. strikes of the best in his sack. The man that byeth it, thinketh he hath good malt, he cometh home: When he putteth the malt out of the sack, the strike which was in the bottom covereth the ill malt which was in the midst, and so the good man shall never perceive the fraud, till he cometh to the occupying of the corn: the other man that sold it, taketh this for a policy, but it is a theft afore God, and he is2 bound to make restitution of so much as those two strikes which were naught, were sold to deer, so much he ought to restore, or else he shall never come to heaven, if GOD be true in his word. ⟨p. 39⟩I could tell you of one other falsehood, how they make […] to way much, but I will not tell it you. If you learn to do those falsehoods whereof I have told you now, then take the sauce with it, namely that you shall never see the bliss of heaven, but be damned world without end with the devil and all his angels. Now go to when it please you, use falsehood. But I pray you wherefore will you deceive your neighbour whom you ought to love as well as your own self? consider the matter good people what a dangerous thing it is to fall in yt hands of the ever living God: leave falsehood, abhor it, be true & faithful in your calling, Querite regnum dei & justitiam […] & cetera omnia […] vobis. Seek the king dome of god and the righteousness thereof: than all things necessary for you, shall come unto you unlooked for.
