W Hat felicity can man have more then in me? Wherein ought he to have more joy and consolation? What thing will make his conscience more quiet to be Then to study that thing which is his salvation? I pass all the Sciences, it needs small probation: And if you be desirous my name for to know, Theogie I am called the knowledge of Gods law. But who doth not study me chiefly for lucre and gain, And also thereby to have rich and easy living: But who to preach poorly in studying me is fain, And thereby to salvation the sinful wretch to bring. Nay they had rather to be paid here then to abide gods rewarding: But such do not remember or believe Daniel Saying, The converting of a soul shall shine above the Angels, So many would not study me but for money And thereby to live Lordly and in wealth: The Bishop, the Priest, and the Doctor of divinity Would give over their study, not regarding their souls health, And use some other things, for as it appears, The artificer doth leave his art and occupying And becomes a minister for money and easy living. Such as do study, having living by me, Ought to be a lantern and a spectacle to other, Whereby they may be allured all sinfulness to fly: But many of them do use and unchristianly order. For money they will handle full cruelly their neighbour: Is not this and hindrance to the knowledge of Gods word, Without they amend, God will strike them with his sword. ¶ Even as I at the first lamented the inordinate love Of money which now of every one is esteemed, The same to be to true, you both I have herd prove. Oh Judas, Judas, thereby thy self thast damned: Thou hadst be better money never have handled, And also such as have had in money their consolation Without the mercy of God shall have everlasting damnation. ¶ Well, seeing every one is so far out of frame, And gives them selves so much to the love of money, Let us walk as we ought in praising Gods name, Beseeching God to send them his favour and mercy: Oh Lord bless thy people from everlasting misery. Christ had but twelve Apostles and one betrayed his master, Even Judas, the bag carrier, for money he played the traitor. ¶ Your argument from mine doth not much disagree, For nothing is almost done unless it be for money, For the wicked rich man and the lover of money Regard but for gain, neither you nor me. Terence the unlearned briefly describeth Hominem imperito numquam injustius Qui nisi quod ipse fecit, nihil rectum putat: So they have money they care not for us a gnate.
Plot summary
Plot — All for Money
The play satirizes the domination of money in a sequence of discrete episodes. Theology, Science, and Art lament that they are now primarily studied out ofa desire for money. Money becomes ill and vomits up Pleasure, who in turn gives birth to Sin in the same manner, whose progeny in turn is Damnation. Satan is pleased that Money’s wide popularity will consign so many souls to hell, and asks Sin to assist in the process. The relative values of money and learning are assessed in an encounter between four characters who have or lack them in various permutations: learning is shown to be superior to money, and poverty in this world carries the promise of a heavenly reward in the next; the clinching point is that Learning with Money gives alms to the poor where Money without Learning refuses. Money feels overworked and Sin gives him an associate, All for Money, who presides over a corrupt court: he pardons theft and assault, infanticide, and bigamy, but hangs a poor thief who is unable to bribe him. He also advises two suitors to procure false witnesses to support their causes, and protects a corrupt and incompetent cleric. Judas and Dives, two souls damned for monetary sins, lament their situation; Damnation drives them off to hell. Godly Admonition warns the audience not to repent too late, and to give up cupidity.
