proue them as he dyd Iob whan he suffred that the deuyll hym dyd so many of ylles and of tourmentes for to preue hym in his grete pacyēce for without the permyssyon of god they haue noo puyssaunce but ben as the hange man the which without the byddynge of the Iuge may not hange nor bete ony euyll doer wherfore my chylde thou sholdest retourne the vnto god and vnto the sayntes and to lyue holyly as sayth the psalmyst Non timebis amore nocturno That is to say thou shalt not drede of those folysshe vysyons by nyght For they be not but Illusyons made by the ennemye as it is sayde ¶ Mayster may the ennemy be constrayned to come by wordes or by sygnes My chylde nay yf he ne wyll but they ben the coūtenaūces that he hath with those that bē of his secte the which in sayenge some wordes or ī makynge some tokens or carateres thyder cometh and maketh that that he demaundeth to th ende that he them holde the better in his lyne the mayster the discyple ¶ Master what say ye of these dremes My chylde thou sholde take none hede vnto them for they ne be but vysyōs of some thȳges on the whiche a mā hath thought or sene before wakynge a man dremeth often of that the which is semblable vnto his complexiō master how knowe the ꝓphetes tho dayes that that they sawe by dreme My chylde that was not by dremes all onely but it was by the reuelacyon of god for with the vysyon they had an Imagynacyon and beleue especyall in the bounte of our Lorde that that same thynge that they hadde seen in slepynge came ¶ Mayster syth that God dyscendyd in erthe for to saue the synners wherfore bē they dāpned My chylde there is not so grete a synner in this worlde that if he reknowlege his synne and crye god mercy with good herte but that he be pardoned by the meryte of the deth passyon of Ihesu cryste but those that wyll not knowlege thyr synne but ben obstynate tyll vnto the deth know thou that they ben damned eternally for God saueth not the synner the whiche wyll not saue hymselfe and also paradyse is not deseruyd by synne but it is lost ¶ Mayster syth that god dyed for our synnes wherfore be we baptysed My chylde for the baptym is the homage y● we owe vnto oure lorde Ihesu cryst by the whiche all our synnes ben pardoned and in suche wyse ordeyned he it as telleth the gospell that sayth thus Quicūque baptisatꝰ fuerit That is to say who so shall be baptysed shall be saued and he that is not shall be dampned ¶ Mayster how many persones shall be saued My chylde there shall be as many saued as there fell of the cursyd aungelles of paradys by theyr pryde for the men and the womē ben made for to be in theyr place and for that cause is the ennemy so enuyous ayenst man ¶ Mayster from whens came the fyrst Idolatres My chylde they were fyrst founde in abell the whiche is now callyd babylon y● grete and there shall the antecryst be borne and there was the toure with the gyauntes the which is of .xl. stages There regned the fyrst kynge of this worlde the whiche men called Neron the whiche caused to be made an Image of Appolyn and commaundyd all those of his realme that they sholde do hym sacryfyce and worshypped hym and in lykewyse dyd they the whiche came after hym in suche wyse that whan some grete princes were deed theyr successoures caused to make of Images maruaylously ryche ī the name of theyr predysessoures and made theyr subgettes to adoure thē to do sacryfice were callyd Idolles in to whom the deuyll entred spake tolde them many of abusyons so dyde they of grece vnto theyr kynge and they of rome vnto Romulus as men fynde by the wrytynges and auncyent cronycles ¶ Mayster wherfore ne made God that man ne sholde ete but one tyme in a weke My sone the honger is one of the passyons y● we suffre by the synne of Adam and so we haue euery day hōger thyrste colde and heet and many other passyons to th ende that we trauayle alway for to thynke on oure nedes and of our neyghboures to the ende that by oure trauayle and laboure contynuall we haue the more meryte for yf the man hadde not of necessyte he sholde haue no care to trauayle but he sholde be euermore in slouthe and sholde not knowe what good were worthe and also he sholde mysknowe his creatoure And howe be hyt that the grete lordes and gētylmen and other that be ryche trauayleth not corporallye All be it that they trauayled spyrytuallye euermore That is to vnderstande in theyr vnderstandynge and wyll in hauynge euermore desyre to gete for he that moost hathe and more wolde haue moost hath in thynkynge and so my chylde none ne may lyue without payne trauayle but euery man hath moche to do in his ryght the mayster the discyple the mayster the dyscyple the dyscyple the mayster MAyster howe fro whēs shall the Antecryst come my chylde he shall be borne in babylon of a cursyd man of a cursyd woman the which shall be of the lygnage of Dam of the wōbe of his mother he shall be full of the cursed spyryte shall be nourysshed and confermed in enchauntementes and shall be Emperour of all the worlde shall put the people vnder him in foure maners That is to vnderstande the prynces other ryche couetous by gyftes for he shall haue by his enchauntementes all the tresoures hydde in the erthe The poore by grete drede rygoure of Iustyce for he shall make them greuously to be martred The clergy by connynge whereof he shall be full For he shall conne y● .vij. artes all the other scryptures the deuoute persones by tokens by myracles that shall be marueylous For he shall make the fyre to dyscende that shall brenne his ennemyes before hym also he shall make the deed men to aryse not truely but the deuyll shall entre in to the bodyes of some dāpned and the deuylles shall bere them anone make them to speke by his enchauntement to walke as if they were on lyue shall reedyfye Ihrlm and there he shall make hym to be honoured as god there shall be receyued in grete honoure men shall come to hym frome all partes he shall make semblaūce to the people by his enchaūtementes that he shall dye that he shall aryse shall make hym to be lyft vp in heyght by the deuyls sayenge y● he wyll wounte in to the glorye of paradys than god seynge his grete pryde thyder shall sende his aūgels of paradys for

they ben turmented with the fyre of hell moche more hotter than the fyre matery all of this present worlde in cōparyson ayenst a fyre paynted vpon a wall and they ben there bounde with chaynes of fyre all brennyng so sperke lynge that a man ne can speke it In the whiche place some ben there more punysshed than these other and there abyde more longely than the other after as they haue deserued ¶ Mayster what payne is there in hell My chylde there are soo many dyuers paynes tourmentes that there is none entendement humayne the which can comprehēde ne Imagen as of fyre stynkynge and ryght brennynge of todes serpentes dragons and of al foule and cruell bestes of deuylles enraged wode the whiche neuer ben wery for to bete tourment the poore myserable dāpned but euermore ben for to begynne in suche wyse that the leest payne of hell surmounteth all the paynes of this world but the one is more punysshed than the other after their desert and at the day of Iugement theyr payne shall doubte for than they shall aryse shall be dampned in body in souse ¶ Mayster what payne haue the soules of the Innocentes y● which dyeth wtout baptym My chylde they ne haue payne ne doloure ne Ioye ne gladnes For they neuer dyd good nor euyll by the which they haue not meryted to haue ony good ne to haue ony euyll howe be it that the place wherin they ben be dym derke All be it there is nothynge the which them greueth and whan the day of Iugement shall come that they shal ryse they shall be of the aege that oure lorde Ihesu cryste was whan he dyed on the tre and all the other Also the sayd chyldren not baptysed shall be contente with the ordenaūce of god thā shall returne agayn in to theyr sayd place without euer to haue Ioy ne heuynes no more than thou hast of that the thou hast no wynges for that apertayneth vnto the byrdes not vnto men or as thou hast whā a kynge or ony grete prynce dyeth thou shalte not succede his realme syng●ourye for thou knowest well thou arte not he the which sholde enheryte Also they sholde not enheryte the gloryous realme of Paradyse for they ben exyled by the synne of Adā of Eue of the whiche synne they haue not ben purged by baptyme ¶ Mayster those of paradys se they those of hell My chylde ye and y● vnto them is a grete encreasynge of glory whan they se the paynes that they haue escaped wherof they thanke god without ceasyng and also the dampned seeth the saued in paradys as we haue in the gospell of the cursed ryche man Dyues the whiche sawe the soule of the poore Lazare in the bosome of Abraham in paradys the whiche thynge is to them a grete encreasynge of theyr doloure anguysshe whan they se the grete goodes spyrytuall that they haue lost by theyr synnes by theyr neclygēce after the day of Iugemente as the bodyes of the saued shall be gloryfyed they shall se the dāpned corporally but the dampnyd may not se them corporally ¶ Maister ben the saued wroth of the payne of the dampned My chylde they that ben in paradys wolde well that those the which ben in hell hadde soo well lyued whan they were in this worlde that by theyr holy werkes they had ben saued with them For without ceasynge they praye for the humaynes lyuynges within this p̄sent world but sythen that they by their cursyd lyfe and by theyr Synnes they ben dampned for euer theyse of paradyse neyther ben heuy nor dysplesaunt For in Paradyse there is not of heuynes nor of dyspleasaunce of ony manes thynge But all Ioye myrthe and gladnesse without ende ¶ Mayster the auncient fathers suffred they ony maner of payne in the lymbe of hell My chylde nay but all onely that they were holden in derkenes and in captyuyte And were put from the vysyon of god and aboue euermore theyr delyueraūce ¶ Mayster what knowlege haue the Iuste the whiche ben in paradys My chylde they knowe the good theyr merytes of the cursyd also and the curknoweth wherfore they ben dampned knoweth as we that thynge that they se and feele And those of purgatory ne knoweth nothynge of this worlde yf it be not by reuelacyon of aūgels the whiche them cōforteth or of the sayntes of paradys These of paradys sheweth theym whan they wyll and vnto whome they wyll but the dampned shall neuer come forthe of hell tyll vnto the daye of Iugement that they shal come to take agayne theyr bodyes and to here the sentence of the soueraygne Iuge after they shall returne in to hell from whens they shall neuermore returne And if that it happen somtyme that it semeth vnto vs that they shewe them it is but the deuyll the whiche sheweth them vnto theyr semblaunce yf it be not by the suffraunce of god that they shewe them somtyme vnto some holy persones as god it wyll by his myracle as mē sayth on many but it is not at ther wyll ne they be not eased of theyr paynes For they bere euermore theyr hell with them and so they ben euer more in hell ¶ Mayster how say ye of these women the which sayth that they them se in the ayre of these feyryes and of these gobelyns the whiche them calleth elues and many other thynges My chylde the women ben moost varyables and more lyght of beleue than men and therfore was Eue tempted before Adam For the ennemy thought well that whan he had wonne her that she shold helpe hym to wynne Adam and therfore the deuyll shewed more soner his vysyons vnto women than he dyd vnto men how be hit that some men of lytell feyth there bē often deceyued for as moche that some women ben of more lyghte beleue of as moche the more the deuyll sheweth of vysyons vnto them in theyr mynde for to drawe theym from the fayth of Ihesu cryste And thou sholdest vnderstande that these olde wytches the whiche sayth that they go on the satyrday farre from theyr houses or that they do or se thynges maruaylous that they ne do nothynge but by the grete faute of fayth that they haue and by theyr foly●she beleue for as moch as they ben in synne for they be Idolatres and with out fayth the deuyl vnto them sheweth those folysshe vysyons in theyr entēdement for the better to brynge them vnto his lyne for in trouthe elles they remeue not from theyr place noo more than doth a stone and theyr vysyons ben semblables vnto theym of a man the whiche is dronke vnto whom it semeth that the house turneth vnder his fete by the whiche he falleth and all the house ne the erthe remeueth not In lyke wyse the deuyl them sheweth these vysyons in theyr entendement and also the deuyll hym sheweth in the fourme semblaunce of
