Our good is not so ours, that […] 1may do with it what us […], […] we ought to […] it unto them which have need. No man ([…] I […] you […]) ought to […] away my good […] but I […] to […] that that I may spare, and help the poor […]. […] saith s. Paul: distribute […] yt poor let […], […] help them […] things as you ⟨p. 42⟩may spare. For so it is […], Cui plus datum est, plus […] ab illo, […] that […] much must make […] for much and if he have not spent it well, he must make the […] account: But I speak not this to […] poor […] labour,2 for we must labour, and do the works of our […] one in his calling, for so it is written, […] manducabis & bene tibi […], yu […] eat thy […], and it shall go well with thee: that is to say, every man shall work for his […], & shall not be a […], as a great many be: every man shall labour and pray, than god will send him his living: s. […] saith: Qui non laborat, nō […]; He that laboureth not, let him not eat. Therefore those lubbers which will not labour, and might labour3 it is a good thing to punish them according unto the kings most godly statutes. For god himself saith, In sudore vul […] pane […], in the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat thy bread. Than […] in s. […] which saith. Magis4 […] digentibus, let him labour the sorer that he may have where with to help the poor, & Christ himself saith. Melius […], […], it is better to give than to take. So Christ & all his apostles, yea the whole scripture admonisheth us ever of our neighbour to take heed of him, to be pitiful unto him: but god knoweth, there be a great many which care little for their neighbours. They do like as […] did, when god asked him, Cain, where is thy brother Abel?5 what? (saith he) am I my brothers keeper? So these rich franklings these covetous fellows, they scrape all things to themselves, they think they should care for no body […], but for themselves: god […] the poor man to labour the so […], to yt end that he may be able to help his poor neighbour how much more ought the rich to be liberal unto them?
