Moreover concerning thy goods, 1thou must remember how that thou art a person in the temporal regiment, ⟨p. 214⟩and the king; as he is over thy body, even so is he Lord of thy goods, and of 2him thou holdest them, not for thy self only, but for to maintain thy wife, children and servants, and to maintain the king, the realm, & the country, & town or city where tho• dwellest. Wherefore thou mayst not suffer them to be wasted, that thou were not able to do thy duty, no more than a servant may suffer his masters goods to go to wrack negligently. For he that provideth not for his, and namely for them of his own household, saith Paul, denieth the faith, and is worse then an Infidel. But every man is bound to labour diligently & truly, & therewith so soberly to •e, that he may have enough for him, and his, and somewhat above for them that can not labour, or by chance are fallen into necessity. And of that give & lend, and look not for it again. And if that suffice not thy neighbours necessity: then speak and make labour to thy brethren, to help also. For it is a common proverb, many hands make light work, & many may beat that that one alone cannot.

Wherefore thou mayst not suffer thē to be wasted, that thou were not able to do thy dutie, no more thē a seruaūt may suffer his masters goods to go to wracke neghgently. For he that prouideth not for his, and namely for them of hys owne housholde, sayth Paule, denieth the fayth, and is worse then an Infidell. But euery man is bounde to labour diligently & truely, & therewith so soberly to e, that he may haue inough for hym, and his, and somwhat aboue for them that can not labour, or by chaunce are fallen into necessitie. And of that geue & lende, and looke not for it againe. And if that suffice not thy neighbours necessitie: then speake and make labour to thy brethren, to helpe also. For it is a common prouerbe, many handes make light worke, & many may beate that that one alone cannot.
