Again no man will look downward, where are poverty, despising, anguish, misery and sorrow, from thence doth every man wend his eyen. And where such people is, from thence doth every man run, they be shunned, neither doth any man assist nor help them, and provide so for them, that they may be able also: ⟨image 6⟩but must abide still in the depth and low estate. For there will no man be such a creator among men, that will make any thing of that nothing, according to the lesson of S. Paul Ro. xii. saying: Be of one mind among your selves. Be not proud in your own conceits, but make your selves equal with them of the low sort.
Agayne nomā wyl loke downward, where are pouerte, despysyng, anguysh, mysery and sorow, frō thence doth euery man wende his eyen. And where suche people is, frō thence doth euery man runne, they be shuned, nother doth ony man assyste nor helpe thē, and prouyde so for thē, that they maye be able also: ⟨image 6⟩but must abyde styll in the depth and low estate. For ther wyll noman be such a creatoure amōge men, that wyl make ony thyng of that nothynge, accordynge to ye lesson of S. Paule Ro. xii. sayenge: Be of one mynde amonge youre selues. Be not proude in your owne conceates, but make your selues equall with them of the lowe sorte.
And for this cause doth the sight of God continue of one fashion, which beholdeth the depth, need, and misery, & is near unto all such as are in that depth & anguish, and (as sayeth S. Peter) withstandeth the hyghmynded, but giveth mercy unto the lowly.
And for thys cause doth ye syght of God cō tinue of one fashiō, which beholdeth ye depth, nede, and mysery, & is neare vnto all such as are in that depth & anguysh, and (as sayeth S. Peter) wythstandeth the hyghmynded, but geueth mercy vnto the lowly.
