The third Bailiff, is every Christian that shall reckon to God for the goods he hath had of him; First, how have you entered here to your goods, if by extortion, stealth, usury, or deceit; woe shall it be to you at this dreadful day, as S. Augustine saith, if he shall be in hell that hath not given of his goods well gotten, what shall become of him that stealeth others goods: desire of honour, and fear of poverty be the causes that ma•e men live by the rape of other mens goods; the vengeance of this covetousness is described by the pot in the sixth of Zechariah, wherein sat a woman named Impiety, into which the Angel threw a weight of Lead: and two women like Spirits with wings, carried it betwixt Heaven and Earth, unto the Land of Shinar; as a pot with a wide mouth, so Covetousness gapeth for riches and honour, and as liquor in a pot profiteth not the pot, but them that draw it out, so worldly goods profit not the Getters, but others that comes after, as Owls see better by night then by day, so the covetous are blind in heavenly matters, and quick-eyed in earthly matters. The Lead is obstinacy, the Woman is called Impiety, because Piety is lost by Avarice: the Pot is covered with Lead, which stoppeth in Impiety, to show that Covetousness hardeneth the heart, that Impiety cannot go out by repentance, the two Women that bare the Pot, are Pride and Lust of the Flesh: which in Scripture are called the two Daughters of the Water, each crying, bring, bring. The first Wing is Pride of Spiritual gifts: The second Wing Pride of Temporal gifts: The Wings of the second Woman, be Gluttony and Sloth. Doctor Gregory speaking of Gluttony, when the belly is filled, the pricks of Lechery are stirred. And of Sloth Doctor Augustine saith, Lot was a good man whilst he was in business in Sodom, when he was idle in drunkenness he lay with his Daughters. Saint Augustine saith, ravening Fishes when they are full be satisfied, but only covetous men cannot be satisfied, he is not afraid of GOD, nor ashamed of Men, he spareth not Father nor Mother, Brother or Friend, oppresseth the Widow and motherless Children, he maketh free men bond, he bringeth forth false Witness, and occupieth dead mens goods. What madness is this, to lose life and grace, to win damnation, and to loose Heaven to win Go•d:

The third Bayly, is euery Christian that shall reckon to God for the goods he hath had of him; First, how haue you entred heere to your goods, if by extortion, stealth, vsury, or deceit; woe shall it be to you at this dreadfull day, as S. Augustine saith, if hee shall be in hell that hath not giuen of his goods well gotten, what shall become of him that stealeth others goods: desire of honour, and feare of pouerty be the causes that mae men liue by the rape of other mens goods; the vengeance of this couetousnes is discribed by the pot in the sixt of Zachary, wherein sat a woman named Impiety, into which the Angell threw a waight of Lead: and two women like Spirits with winges, carryed it betwixt Heauen and Earth, vnto the Land of Sinear; as a pot with a wide mouth, so Couetousnesse gapeth for riches and honour, and as liquor in a pot profiteth not the pot, but them that draw it out, so worldly goods profit not the Getters, but others that comes after, as Owles see better by night then by day, so the couetous are blinde in heauenly matters, and quicke-eyed in earthly matters. The Lead is obstinacy, the Woman is called Impietie, because Piety is lost by Auarice: the Pot is couered with Lead, which stoppeth in Impiety, to shew that Couetousnesse hardeneth the heart, that Impiety cannot goe out by repentance, the two Woemen that bare the Pot, are Pride and Lust of the Flesh: which in Scripture are called the two Daughters of the Water, each crying, bring, bring. The first Winge is Pride of Spirituall guifts: The second Wing Pride of Temporall guifts: The Winges of the second Woman, be Gluttony and Sloth. Doctor Gregorie speaking of Gluttony, when the belly is filled, the prickes of Lecherie are stirred. And of Sloath Doctor Augustine saith, Lot was a good man whilst he was in businesse in Sodome, when hee was idle in drunkennesse he lay with his Daughters. Saint Augustine saith, rauening Fishes when they are full be satisfied, but onely couetous men cannot bee satisfied, he is not affraid of GOD, nor ashamed of Men, he spareth not Father nor Mother, Brother or Friend, oppresseth the Widdow and motherlesse Children, hee maketh frée men bond, hee bringeth forth false Witnesse, and occupyeth dead mens goods. What madnesse is this, to looselife and grace, to win damnation, and to loose Heauen to win God:
