This is a short sermon, that no man need to complain that he cannot for the length bear it away. It is so nigh 1thee, that thou needest not to send over sea for it. It is with thee, that thou 2needest not to be importune upon master Doctor: saying, sir I pray you, what say ye to this case and to that, & is not this lawful, and may I not so do, and so, well enough? Ask thine own conscience what thou mayst or oughtest to do. Wouldest thou men did so with thee, then do it. Wouldest thou not be so dealt with, then do it not. Thou wouldest not that men should do to thee wrong and oppress thee: Thou wouldest not that men should do thee shame and rebuke, lie on thee, kill thee, hire thine house from thee, or tice thy servant away, or take against thy will ought that is thine. Thou wouldest not that men should sell thee false ware when thou puttest them in trust to make it ready or lay it 3out for thee, nor thou wouldest not that men should deceive thee with great oaths, swearing that to be good which in deed is very naught: Thou wouldest not also that men should sell thee ware that is naught and to dear, to undo thee: do no such things then to thy neighbour. But as loth as thou wouldest be to buy false ware or to dear, for undoing thy self, so loth be thou to sell false ware or to dear, for undoing thy neighbour. And in all thy needs, how glad thou wouldest be to be holpen, so glad be to help thy neighbour. And so in all cases examine thy conscience and ask her what is to be done in all doubts between thy neigh bour and thee, and she will teach thee, except thou be more filthy than a swine and all together beastly.
