Phil. All this that ye have hitherto spoken is true. For I have taught you no ⟨image 99⟩thing of mine own brain & fantasy, but only the pure word of God, & the sentences & minds of the holy and catholic Doctors. Therefore I pray you heartily good neighbours be as diligent to observe and keep these flowers as I have ben studious to gather them together for you, so shall I both think my labour well bestowed & ye also of all pleasures shall do me the greatest. Well I will now rehearse to you in few words, what your whole Nosegay containeth in many. Your first flour is called Unfeigned Humility. Hereof have ye learned the true knowledge of your selves,¹ & that ye ought not to be proud of any thing, but embracing Humility & lowliness of mind always confess that what so ever ye have, be it never so good & precious, it is the gift of GOD coming down from the father of lights, and that ⟨image 100⟩therefore ye ought studiously to labour above all things that it be bestowed according to the will of God,² that is, unto the glory of God the profit of your neighbour & the salvation of your own souls. Your second flour called, Pure Innocency. Of this ye have learned your duty toward God, & how ye ought to walk before him according to his word and be perfect. Of your third flour, which is, Faithful Obedience. Ye have learned your duty toward our most puissant & excellent king, & all those civil magistrates & head officers, which are appointed to rule & govern the matters of the public weal under his graces mayest. Ye learned also, that by the word of GOD ye owe to them obedience, fear, honour and tribute. Your fourth flour, called, Ready assistance ▪ taught you your duty toward ⟨image 100⟩your neighbour, & how ye ought to serve him according to the rule of the Gospel, seeking no less his profit than your own. Your fifth & last flour, called, Christen Charity, declared to you that without this true, christen & pure love, all your other flowers profit but little, neither can any work being done of a malicious heart and out of Charity please God. Again ye heard, that your love both toward God & your neighbour was declared to be unfeigned, if ye did express it outwardly in such works as are prescribed of God in the holy Scriptures, this is the whole sum of your Nosegay.
