Let every man of what soever craft or occupation he be of, whether brewer, 1baker, tailor, victualler, merchant, or husbandman refer his craft and occupation unto the common wealth, and serve his brethren as he would do Christ him self. Let him bye and sell truly, and not set dice on his brethren, so showeth he mercy, and his occupation pleaseth God. And when thou receivest money for thy labour, or ware, thou receivest thy duty. For wherein so ever thou minister to thy brethren, thy brethren are detours to give thee wherewith to maintain thy self, and household. And let your superfluities succour the poor, of which sort shall ever be some in all towns and cities, and villages, and that I suppose the greatest number. Remember that we are 2members of one body, & ought to minister one to an other mercifully. And remember that whatsoever we have, it is given us of God, to bestow it on our brethren. Let him that eateth, eat and give God thanks, only let not thy meat pull thine hart from God. And let him that drinketh do likewise. Let him that hath a wife give God thanks for his liberty, only let not thy wife withdraw thine hart from God, and then pleasest thou God, and hast the word of God for thee. And in all things look on the word of God, and therein put thy trust, and not in a visor, in a disguised garment, and a cut shoo.
