¶The second chapter of the second image / which is the evil to come or before a man.
¶The secunde chaptre of the secūde image / whiche is the euyll to come or bifore a man.
IT shall not a little easy thy present evil what soever it be if thou turn thy mind to consider things to come / which are so many & of such efficacy / that unto them is only ascribed the great & grievous passion of mind called fear. For thus some define it. Fear is a passion of the mind about evil to come in so much that cappostel sayeth / go not about to sa favour high things but fear. And the more uncertain this evil is / the greater it is / in so much that it is a common proverb there is none age paste the stable although this disease belong to children and babes.
IT shall not a lytell easy thy present euyll what soeuer it be if thou turne thy mynde to consyder thynges to come / whiche are so manye & of suche efficacyte / that vnto them is onlye ascribed the greate & greuous passyō of mynde called feare. For thus some diffine it. Feare is a passyō of the mynde about euyll to come ī so moche that cappostel sayeth / go not about to sa fauoure hyge thynges but feare. And the more vncerteyn this euil is / the greater it is / in so moche that it is a comon prouerbe there is none age paste the stable altough this disease belonge to chylder and babes.
