And the living shall lay it to his hart
And the liuing shal lay it to his hart
The living is he that liveth in wealth and pleasure. The natural life,1 the Hebrews commonly call the soul, and the usual and pleasant life, they call to live. He truly expresseth what the experience of adversity doth, namely that he that liveth in pleasure, layeth it to his hart, that is, that he is compelled in mind or heart, to learn by such adversities. And he that will not suffer adversity learneth nothing, and so remaineth still a fool.
THe lyuing is he that liueth in wealth and pleasure. The naturall lyfe,1 the Hebrewes cōmonly call the soule, and ye vsuall and pleasaunt lyfe, they call to liue. He truely expresseth what the experience of aduersitie doth, namely that he that lyueth in pleasure, layeth it to his hart, that is, yt he is compelled in mynde or harte, to learne by such aduersities. And he that wil not suffer aduersitie learneth nothing, and so remayneth still a foole.
