All things therefore what so ever ye would men should do to you so do ye to them. This is verily the law and the prophets.
All thynges therfore what so euer ye wolde men shulde do to you so do ye to them. This is verelye the lawe and the prophetes.
This is a short sermone, that no man need to complain that be can not for the length bear it away. It is so nigh the / that thou needest not to send over see for it.1 It is with in thee, that thou needest not to be importune upon master doctor saying / sir I pray you / what say ye to this case and to that / & is not this lawful / and may I not so do & so well enough? Axe thine own conscience what thou mayst or ought to do, wouldest thou men did so with thee, then do it, wouldest thou not be so dealt with, then do it not. Thou wouldest not that men should do to the wrong or oppress thee. Thou wouldest not that men should do the shame and rebuke / lye on thee, kill the / hire thine house from thee, or tyce thy servant away / or take against thy will ought that is thine, Thou wouldest not that men should sell the false ware when thou ⟨p. xcviii⟩puttest them in trust to make it ready or lay it out for them / 2nor thou wouldest not that men should deceive the with great oaths swearing that to be good which in deed is very naught. Thou wouldest not also that men should sell the ware that is nought and to dear / to undo the / do such things then to thy neighbour. But as loth as thou wouldest be to bye false ware or to dear / for undoing thy self / so loth be thou to sell false ware or to dear for undoing thy neighbour. And in all thy needs how glade thou wouldest be to be holpen / so glade be to help thy neighbour. And so in all other cases examine thy conscience and axe her what is to be done in all doubts between thy neighbour and thee, & she will teach thee, except thou be more filthy then a swine and all together beastly, ☜ / / ☞
