large a condition as many riche haue And as there are many riche that seeme not to knowe what it is to be riche in God so are there many poore that do abuse their pouertie and as Hypocrites doe deceiue and as it were robbe from the good poore the charitable deuotion of godlye disposed people touched with a pitiful affection vnto all But often it falleth so out that there are some suche as doe declare them selues hypocrite poore that can hādle their profession in so lothsome a maner as suche are hardly to be discouered because of their decestable vngratious practise vnder the vile cloake of deepe dissimulation in makyng an occupation of their more miserable estates And such ought to bee sifted out of euery common wealth as chaffe from amōg good corne And the cause to be examined howe euery suche hath growne into so miserable estate which beyng founde to be by any euill practice or behauiour then a condigne punishment to be ministred and to be set to some worke and labour whereby to earne their liuyng and being found to be framed to any goodnesse then suche to be dealt with all according as God hath wrought the lyke effect of late in Londō whereas suche are prouided for to the great commendation of the same Citie in relieuyng the lame and impotent and reforming the abuses of such euil persōs as may not otherwise be reclaimed And that poore childrē might supply the places which nowe the deuices of turnspits and Dogges doe furnishe And that it should not be lawfull for the parentes of suche children to intice them away being once placed nor to departe tyll they had continued the full terme of yeares for which such were bound and thē to make choyce what facultie suche will folow for their better prouision of liuyng accordyng to their towardnesse For it is written if one of thy brethren among you bee poore within any of thy gates in the land which the Lorde thy God giueth thee Thou shalte not harden thine heart nor shut too thine hande from thy poore brother But open thine hand vnto him lēd him sufficient for his need which he hath and beware that there bee not a wicked pointe in thine heart that thou wouldest say The seuenth yeare the yeare of freedome is at hand and therfore it greeueth thee to looke on thy poore brother giuest him nought and hee then crye vnto the Lord against thee and it bee sin vnto thee but giue him and let it not greeue thine hart to giue vnto him Because that for this thing y e Lord thy God shal blesse thee in all thy workes and in all that thou puttest thine hād too The laud shal neuer be w tout poore And therfore I commaūd thee saying thou shalt open thine hande vnto thy poore brother that is needy and poore in the lande If thy brother an Ebrew sell him selfe vnto thee or an Ebruesse and serue thee sixe yeares the seuenth yeare thou shalt let him goe free from thee when thou sendest him out free from thee thou shalt not let him go away emptie but shal giue him of thy sheepe of thy corne and of thy wyne and giue him of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt the Lord thy God deliuered thee thence and therefore this thyng I commaund thee this day And the same God hath commaunded children to doe their dueties with diligence As it is written in Saint Paul to the Ephesiās in his first Epistle Children obey your fathers mothers in the Lorde that is the first cōmaundemēt that hath any promise that thou mayest be in good estate and lyue longe in the earth and ye fathers moue not your children vnto wrath but bryng them vpp with nurture and information vnto the Lord. Seruants be obedient vnto your earthly maisters with feare and trembling in singlenes of your hearts as vnto Christ not with seruice in the eye sight as men pleasers but as the seruauntes of Christ dooyng the will of God from the hearte with good will seruing the Lord and not men And remember that whatsoeuer any man doeth that shall he receiue again of the Lord whether he be bound or free For with God there is no respecte of persons And to the ende that euery one in generall both men and women should haue a due consideration of the benifites done vnto mankinde in his first creation God hath placed mankinde here vppon the earth makyng him capable of reason with his eyes so framed as in the course of this mortall lyfe euery one both riche and poore high and low Publican and Pharisie should not be forgetfull of the wonderfull omnipotencie of God in our beholding the Heauers with the ornamentes thereof Where the Sunne the Moone and the Starres doe all obserue their course in due order to the end to put all mankynde in remembraunce of our obedience wherevnto wee were framed in our first creation which benifite of creation as it was and is denied to all other creatures besides who as they are voyde of reason whereof and wherefore they were made and created So do they take their turnes in commyng vppon the earth and passyng agayne without any further memory to be had of any of them But man ought not to be ignoraunt that seeyng almightie God hath dealt so boūtifully with him as to make him Lorde ouer all other creatures in obeying him So is man him selfe bounde to the more strickter fourme of obedience vnto God for so many and sundry his benefites receiued whereby all mankynde is admonished that forasmuch as all other things are ordeyned for the necessitie and vse o● man so should man be more carefull for the thinges apperteyning to the hungering of our sinfull soules then for the feedyng and pampering of our carnall and mortall bodyes which in Spanishe is so rightly applyed where a man is called Vmbra which by interpretation is a shadow which notwithstanding daily experience teacheth that a more estimation and care is had for so vnstable a bodye neglectyng the prouision of our soules which ●ught to be prouided for and esteemed aboue all the Iewels in this miserable worlde And thervpon Christ in his rebuking the Scribes and Pharisies sayeth thus Woe be vnto you yee Hypocrites for ye make clean the outward side of the cup of the platter but within they are full of brybery and excesse Thou blinde Pharisie clense first that within the cuppe and platter that the outside of them may bee cleare also Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharisies ye Hypocrites for ye are like vnto paynted Sepulchers which indeed appeare beautifull outwarde but within are full of dead mens bones and of all filthinesse Euen so are there many in this age who do seeme outwardly to be righteous and so would bee reputed and taken but within are full of all fainednesse and iniquitie Vpon
