Last of all thy neighbours necessity and thine own will compel thee to 1cry, father which art in heaven give us our daily bread, though thou were as rich as king Solomon. For Christ commandeth the rich as well as the poor, to cry to God continually for their daily bread. And if they have no such need, then is Christ a deceiver & a mocker. What need I to pray thee to give or lend me, that is in mine own possession all ready? Is not the first commandment, that there is but one God, and that thou put thy whole trust in him? Which if it were written in thine hart thou shouldest easily perceive, & though thou haddest as many thousands as David left behind him, and Solomon heaped more to them, that thou haddest no more then the poor beggar that goeth from door to door: yea and that the beggar (if that commandment be written in his hart) is sure, that he is as rich as thou. For first thou must knowledge that thou hast received y• great treasure of y• hand of God. Wherefore when thou fetchest an halfpenny thereof, thou oughtest to give God thanks in thine hart for the gift thereof.
