He filleth the hungry with good things, and letteth the rich go empty.
He fylleth the hongry vvyth good thynges, and letteth the rych go empty.
It is said above that they of low degree are not to be called those that are of a vile & lowly estate, but such as are content to be so taken, specially when they are compelled ⟨image 58⟩thereto for maintaining the word, right, & law of God. Even so ought to be called hungry, not they that have little or no meat, but they that willingly do want it, specially if they be compelled thereto of other for Gods or his truths sake. What is more abject, vile, vain or miserable then the devil, them that be damned, or them ye be racked, famished & hanged for their misdeeds, or what so ever they be ye are brought low against their will? Yet doth not God help them, but rather augmenteth their misery. Of such doth not the mother of God speak, but of them that agree with God, which are one with God, & God is one with them.
