S. Luke in his Gospel declareth, ¹how there was a certain rich man, which was apparelled with purr ple & costly linen, & fared deliciously every day. In these words the Evangelist showeth manifestly how this rich man lived all in pleasure, & had all things according to his hearts desire. But behold y• end. He was cruel, merciless & unpiteful to the poor. Therefore when he dyed, the Scripture saith, that he was carried down into hell, where he was tormented with such grievous flames of fire, & intolerable burnings, that he desired Abraham ⟨image 66⟩to send down Lazarus unto him, that he might dip the tip of his finger in the water, & cool his tongue, for he was grievously tor mented in that flame. But Abraham said, remember son, that thou haste received thy pleasures in thy life, & contrary wise Lazarus received pains and troubles. Therefore is he now comforted, and thou art tor mented.

S. Luke in his Gospell declareth, ¹how there was a certen ritche man, which was apparelled wt pur ple & costely lynnen, & fared deliciouslye euery daye. In these wordes the Euangelist sheweth manifestly howe this rytche man lyued all in plesure, & had al thinges according to his hartes desyre. But beholde y• ende. He was cruell, merciles & vnpiteful to the poore. Therfore whē he dyed, the Scripture sayth, that he was caried downe ito hel, where he was tormented wyth suche greuous flames of fyre, & intollerable burnynges, that he desyred Abraham ⟨image 66⟩to send downe Lazarus vnto hym, that he myght dyp the typpe of hys fynger in the water, & coole his tonge, for he was greuously tor mented in that flame. But Abrahā sayd, remember sonne, that yu haste receaued thy pleasures in thy lyfe, & cōtrary wyse Lazarus receaued paynes and troubles. Therfore is he nowe cōforted, and thou arte tor mented.
