The Parable of the Wicked Mammon

And when thou receivest money for thy labour or ware thou receivest thy duty. For wherein so ever thou minister to thy brethren, thy brethren are debtors to give the where with to maintain th• self and thy household. And let your superf•uites succour the poor, of which sort shall ever be some in all towns cities, and villages, and that I suppose the greatest ⟨image 51⟩number. Remember that we are members of one body and ought to minister one to an other mercifully. And remember that what so ever we have, it is given us of God to bestow it on our brethren. Let him that eateth eat and give God thanks, only let not thy meat pull thine heart from God. And let him that drinketh do like wise. Let him that hath a wife give God thanks for his liberty, only let not thy wife with draw thine heart from God and then ple sest thou God and hast the word of god for thee. And in all things look on the word of God and there in put thy trust, and not in a visor in a disguised garment and • cut sho•.

And when thou receyuest mony for thy laboure or ware thou receiuest thy dutie. For wherin so euer thou minister to thy bretherne, thy brether are detters to geue the where with to maintene th• selfe and thy houshold. And let your superf•uites succoure the poore, of whyche sort shall euer be some in al townes cityes, and vil lages, and that I suppose the greatest ⟨image 51⟩nombre. Remembre that wee are membres of one bodye and oughte to minyster one to an other mercyfully. And remembre that what so euer we haue, it is geuen vs of God to bestowe it on oure bretherne. Let hym that eatethe eate and gyue God thankes, onely lette not thy meate pulle thine hert from God. And let hym that drynketh do lyke wyse. Let him that hath a wife gyue God thankes for hys libertie, only let not thy wife wyth drawe thyne hert from God and then ple sest thou God and hast the worde of god for the. And in al thinges loke on ye word of God and there in put thy truste, and not in a visure in a disgysed garmēt and • cutte sho.
