PHIL. Your fruits since that time have manifestly declared the novity and change of your life, whereof I very much rejoice ⟨image 13⟩& give God herty thanks, de sirynge hym to finish that in you prosperously, which he hath begun godly. And this is the cause neighbours that I have ben so bold to caul you again now to a Potation or dryn king, trusting that if you mark those things well, that shall at this time be spoken, ye shall feel no less ¹sweetness in them, than ye did in the Banquet. For ye know that this is a time not for the body, but for the soul, not for the belly, but for the spirit, not for the mouth, but for the mind. This time requireth a modest sobriety, & not luxurious riot. This time requireth a penitent & sorrowful heart, & not a mind set all on pleasure. This time requireth abstinence and not delicate welfare. This time requireth sober prayer, & not vain jestings. This time requireth lamentation for our since, & not a pleasure to remain in ⟨image 13⟩them. Therefore have I now prepared for you a godly Potation, worthy this time, that ye may go home again from me, not with mouths but with minds, not with bellies, but with souls, […] and e• farced with celestial meat. I will now declare unto you, what your Potation shall be. I pray you hear me diligently.

For ye knowe that this is a tyme not for the bodye, but for the soule, not for the belly, but for ye spyryte, not for the mouthe, but for the mynde. This tyme requireth a modelt sobriete, & not luxurious royot. This tyme requirethe a penitent & sorowfull herte, & not a mynde set al on pleasure. This tyme requirethe abstinence and not delicate welfare. This tyme requirethe sober prayer, & not vayne iestynges. This tyme requireth lamentacion for our synnes, & not a pleasure to remayne in
