A Wycked man doth set his mynde, his heart, and hole intent, To sclaunder truthe, & godlynesse, and hurte the innocent. But blessed be al those that be so falsly lyed apon: And pacyently do suffre it, whome God dothe helpe eche one. Catche no man in his wordes to soone, but reade for better minde, For so the Jewes pursued Chryste, some tryp with hym to fynde. Discencion, discorde, variaunce, and those that make debate, The Lord that loveth unytie, dothe sore detest and hate. Embrace and love your enemy, Chryst byddeth very playne: How can you so? whan you for love do rendre hate agayne. Forsake your forged lyes, and turne your flattery to truthe: And leave in age the wyckednesse that you had in your youthe. God gyveth all the gyftes, to man, the which be good and pure: For of ourself we have nothyng but evel, I am sure. Have no delyte, the gyftes of God, so wyckedly to use, To sclaunder good and vertuous thynges: I can not you excuse. I praye to God the Lord of myght, that every wycked tonge, Myght ones by roote be weded out, his people from amonge. Knowe wel before you knyt your knot, the meaning, and the ende: And learne, at thinges of Godlynesse, your wycked lyfe to mende. Lyke as the horse dothe wynse, whan he is rubbed on the gall: So wycked do at goodly thynges, to mende theyr lyfe wythall. Moche evell comes by those that wold mayntayne all wyckednesse, And eke pervert instruction good, and sclaunder godlynesse. No man can serve two masters well, and please them, any wyse: Ye cannot serve our master Chryste, & flatter forging lyes. Of suttle* beawe* and glosing wordes, the commune sorte indede, Are ever more deceaved quyte, wherto they take great heede. Perceave and see the beame so great whych is before thyne eyes: And than correcte thy brothers faulte, withouten fraude or lyes. Quenche fyrste thys your malycious mynde, that burneth lyke the fier And than your sclaunder certaynely wil not be thought of Ire Remember that you reconcyle you to your brother agayne: Or els your offryng wyll not be receaved, this is playne. Speake nothyng judgyng any man, the wyse man doth exorte, With unadvysed wylfulnes, nor gyving ill reporte. Taunte none for vertue, whyle thou lyvest: for than you art not wise: And wylt be truly taken for a foole, mayntayning vice. Whan Cammell folowes any poynte of this, as it aperes, And leaveth beawe* and suttle* wordes: we shal have pleasant yeres. Vewe this good reader folowing, and that which is before, To th end to frame thy lyfe therto, and mend it evermore. X CHrist biddeth us ensue his steppes, and suffre wronge & greyfe: As he hathe suffred grevous payne, which is our health and lyfe. You most sayth Christ observe and kepe, for very inward zeale, His Godly and devine preceptes: and than you shal have weale zachary was, for godlynes, of wyll (and not constraynde) Imputed just before the Lorde, I know this is not faynde. & AND fynally we ought to leave all sclaunder, lyes, & strife: For nothing is more wickedder in mannes or womans lyfe. 2 CONsidering that wee shall gyve accomptes, before the lorde, Of all our dedes, our wicked thoughtes, and every ydell worde. ESUeme not this as vanytie, and nedelesse matters eke: For than in the (good brother myne) is wysdome farre to seeke. AMENde thyself by the preceptes, and beare me no disdayne: And than passe I nothyng at all thoughe it be thankelesse payne. *Ad ther- to. s. *Nota ut ante
