Now therefore, when you hear the same sound again which you have heard before, remember now that the cock croweth the second time: for you know what discommodity doth come by negligence, & what commodity by attention: for if you attend and follow, justice shall be swallowed up of mercy. Here is the example, but where be they that follow it? If nine lepers be cleansed, yet but one returneth to give thanks, 1then one is all. Unthankfulness is the first guest that sitteth at the table, for some will not stick to say, that they never said grace since they were children, but if they had said ⟨p. 9⟩we never had grace since they were children, I would rather believe them. Do they not say, Give us this day our daily bread? If you do, for shame say so no more, beg no more at Gods hands, until you be more thankful for that you have received. For behold, the heavens 2frown upon you for your sins, & the earth denieth her fruit, and is become barren because of your unthankfulness.
Now therefore, when you heare the same sound againe which you haue heard before, remember now that the cocke croweth the second time: for you know what discommoditie doth come by negligence, & what commoditie by attention: for if you attend and follow, iustice shall be swallowed vp of mercie. Here is the example, but where be they that follow it? If nine leapers be cleansed, yet but one returneth to giue thankes, 1then one is all. Vnthankfulnesse is the first guest that sitteth at the table, for some will not sticke to say, that they neuer said grace since they were children, but if they had said ⟨p. 9⟩we neuer had grace since they were childrē, I would rather beleeue them. Do they not say, Giue vs this day our dayly bread? If you do, for shame say so no more, beg no more at Gods hands, vntil you be more thankful for that you haue receiued. For behold, the heauens 2frown vpon you for your sinnes, & the earth denieth her fruite, and is become barren because of your vnthankfulnesse.
