INFIDELITY

WIth heigh down down and down a down a, Salvator mundi Domine, Kyrieleyson, Item Missam est, with pipe up Hallelujah. Said liberam nos à malo, and so let us be at one. Then every man brought in his own dish, Lord God we had wonderful good fare, I warrant you there was plenty of flesh and fish, Go to, I beshrew your heart and if you spare. A gods name I was set up at the hie deace, Come up sir, said every body unto me: Like and honest man I had the First meace, Glad was he that might my proper person see. When we had dined, every man to horseback, And so up unto the mount of Calvary, I trow you never herd of such a knack, Much woe had some of us to escape the pillory. But when we came to hie Jerusalem, Who then but I master Infidelity? Marry I was not so called among them, No, I have a name more nigher the verity. In Jury, Moysaicall Justice is my name, I would have them justified by the law, It is plain infidelity to believe the same, What then? from the faith I do them withdraw. There is one come into the country of late, Called Christ the son of God, the Jews Messias Of the kingdom of God he beginneth to prate, But he shall never bring his purpose to pass, No, I Infidelity stick so much in the Jews hearts, That his doctrine and wonders they will not believe, I warrant that the chief rulers in these parts, Will devise somewhat his body to mischeue. Infidelity, no beware of me Infidelity, Like as Faith is the root of all goodness, So am I the head of all iniquity, The well and Spring of all wickedness. Marry sir, yet I convey my matters clean, Like as I have a visor of virtue, So my imps, which unto my person do lean, The visor of honesty does endue. As these, Pride I use to call cleanlynesse, Envy I colour with the face of prudence, Wrath putteth on the coat of manlynesse, Covetise is profit in every men sentence. Sloth or idleness I paint out with Quiet, Gluttony or excess I name honest cheer, Lechery used for many men's diet, I set on with the face of love both far and never. How say you to Infidelity once again? Infidelity all men's hearts do occupy: Infidelity now above true Faith does remain, And shall do to the world's end, I think verily. Yea, that same Messias does many things, Yet I will so occupy the rulers minds, Both of bishops, phariseys, elders and kings, That few or none of them shall be his friends. God forbid mistress Marry, & you so tender & young For marring of your gear he is greatly to blame. These unhappy tailors I trow be accursed, Most continued ̄ monly when they make gentlewome ̄ S gear In the mids they set the piece that is worst. Yea that is the fashion of them every where. The worst piece is in the mydst of your garment, And it is pieced into it so unhappily, That by my truth it is passed amendment, Meddle with it, and you spill it utterly. Mock? I know that you come of a worshipful stock He that mocks you ought to be reprehended. Of tailors craft I tell you I have some skill, And if I should meddle with y e piece that is in the amid, I should make it worse or at the least as ill: Therefore to let it alone as it is, I judge it best, Nought it is, and so you may wear it out, Though it be new, it will be soon worn. Of my troth it were pity in mine opinion But that your gear should be well trimmed, For you are well favoured, and a pretty Minion, Feat, clean made, well compact, and aptly lymmed. In Jerusalem there is not I dare say, A sweter countenance, nor a more loving face, Fresh and flourishing as the flowers in May, I have not seen a ge ̄ tlewoma ̄ of a more goodly grace Your parents I know, were very honourable, Which have left you worshipfully to live here, And certainly I judge it very commendable. That with your own you can make good cheer. Verba puellatum foliis leviora caducis, The promise of maidens, the Poet does say, Be as stable as a weak leaf in the wind, Like as a small blast blows a feather away, So a fair word truly changeth a maidens mind. Forsooth I thank you, Oh loving worm, good lord, Yea, I knew your father's state and condition, The nobility of Jury can bear me record, That he was a man of a worshipful disposition. I wis mistress Marry, I had you in mine arms, Before you were .iii. years of age without doubt, I preserved you many times from soar harms, Which in your childhood your enemies went about. A gentlewoman of noble birth as I do think Should have servants always at her continued ̄ maundeme ̄ to, You are able to give to many both meat and drink, Yea honest wages, and also necessary raiment. Say you so mistress Marry, will you put me in trust In faith I will tell you, you can not trust a wiser, You shall live pleasantly, even at your hearts lust, If you make me your counseller and deviser. Remember that you are young and full of dalliance Lusty, courageous, fair, beautiful and wise. I will have you to attempt all kinds of pastance, Using all pleasure at your own hearts devise. Do you think that it is not more than madness, The lusty and pleasant life of a men youth, Miserably to pass away in study and sadness, It is extreme folly mistress Marry for a truth. Be you merry, and put away all fantasies, One thing is this, you shall never be younger in deed, Your bodily pleasure I would have you to exercise, Sure you are of worldly substance never to need. Puellae pestis, indulgentiam parentum, Of parents the tender and carnal sufferance, Is to young maidens a very pestilence. It is a provocation and furtherance, Unto all lust and fleshly concupiscence. Oh mistress Marry, your parents did see, That you were beautiful and well favoured: They did right well as it seemeth me, That so worshipfully they have you furthered. As I understand, you have in your possession The whole castle of Magdalene, with the purtena ̄ ce, Which you may rule at your discretion, And obtain thereby riches in abundance. Oh what worldly pleasure can you want, What commodities have you of your own? About Jerusalem is not such a plant, As to me and many other is well known, It were decent I say, to use the fruition Of such richesse as is left you here, You never herd in any erudition, But that one with his own should make good cheer. Council? in you shall want no council in deed, I know where a certain company is, Which can give such council in time of need, That you following them can never speed amys. The truth is so, they whom now I speak of, Are persons of great honour and nobility, Fellows that love neither to dally nor scoff, But at once will tell you the verity. Birth? faith of my body, you are well arayde, I warrant you with these clothes they will be content They had liefer have you naked, be not afraid, Then with your best holy day garment. I pray you heartily that I may be so bold To have a kiss or two before you do depart, I thank you mistress Marry by my maidenhood, Lord what a pleasant kiss was this of you? Take her with you, I warrant you will never be good She is given to it, I make God avow. And I trow I shall help to set her forward. Shortly my ofspryng and I shall her so dress, That neither law nor prophets she shall regard, No though the son of God to her them express. Infidelity is my name, you know in deed, Properly I am called the Serpents seed, Look in whose heart my father Satan does me sow There must all iniquity and vice needs grow, The conscience where I dwell is a receptacle, For all the devils in hell to have their habitacle, You shall see, that Mary's heart within short space, For the devil him self shall be a dwelling place, I will so dress her, that there shall not be a worse. To her the devil at pleasure shall have his recourse. I will go and prepare for her such a company, As shall poison her with all kinds of villainy. Pride of Life now welcome, the Spring of iniquity, Oh pride of life, thou never usest to go alone, Give me your hands also I pray you one by one. Welcome pride of life with my whole heart & mind, And thou art welcome Cupidity mine own friend: What, mynikin carnal concupiscence, Thou art welcome heartily by my conscience. Out of Jury? no carnal lust to thee I may tell That with the chief princes now I do dwell: The bishops, priests and pharisees do me so retain, That the true sense of the law they do disdain. Am I you would say so if you knew all, I was going forth you to call, Know you not a wench called Marry Magdalene? Tush, as yet you have but his mind moved, Whom she may forsake if she be reproved: But I would have his cleave unto you so fast. That she shall not forsake you while her life does last Thou hast reckoned and abominable rabble, Where thou dwellest, the devil may have a stable. There can not be a more filthy place in hell, Than that is, where as cupidity does dwell. Where as you and all your ofspryng does dwell, There is a place for all the devils in hell: And plain it is, where as is such filthy sin, There even in this world their hell does Begin. By such time as with us Marry be furnished, With the devil him self she shall be replenished. Pride with all thy abominable store, At this time must be called Nobility and honour. Yea and the same loved always cupidity, Therefore thy name shall be called Utility. Carnal concupiscence shall be called pleasure, And that pretty Marry loves beyond all measure. No, we will work with a little more austerity, Infidelity for diverse respects hath names diverse, Of the which some of the ̄ to you I purpose to rehearse With bishops, priests, scribes, seniors and pharisees, And with as many as be of the Jews degrees, I am called Legal Justice commonly: For why by the law them selves they do justify. It is plain Infidelity so to believe: Therefore there, such a name to my self I do give. I have a garment correspondent to that name, By the which I walk among them without blame. With publicans and sinners of a carnal pretence, I am sometime called cou ̄ sell, and sometime Prudence. I cause them the wisdom of God to despise, And for the flesh and the world wittily to devise, Prudence before Marry my name I will call. Which to my suggestions will cause his to fallen: A vesture I have here to this garment correspond ̄ to, Lo here it is, a gown I trow convenient. Marry did talk with me before in this gear, But because she shall the sooner to me apply, put on a gown & a cap. I will dress me in these garments even by and by. How think you by me now in this array? Marry loves them I tell you, that use to go gay. Like obstinate Friars I temper my look, Which had one eye on a wench, and and other on a book Passion of God, behold, yonder comes Marry. See that in your tales none from other do vary. Maxima quaequae domus, servis est plenam superbis, Every great house, as the Poet does say, Is full of naughty servants both night and day. And I of yours mistress Marry with heart & mind It is a joy to see a gentlewoman so loving and kind Shall I be so bold to kiss you at our meeting? Quo magis tegitur, magis aestuat ignis The more closely that you keep fire, no doubt The more fervent it is when it breaks out. Sweet mistress Marry, I am called Prudence, Or else counsel, full of wisdom and science, Here unto you, honourable Honour I have brought, A person always to be in your mind and thought, And this person is nam Utility, Very profitable for your commodity, Pleasure is the name of this Minion, Convenient for you forsooth in mine opinion. Will you so? that is the thing that have I would, Every kiss to me is worth a crown of gold. Nay hoa there, backare, you must stand apart, You love me best I trow, mistress Marry. Agreed, mistress Marry hear you my counsel. First, all thought from your heart you must expel. Trouble not your self with any fantasies, Never attend you to the law nor prophecies. They were invented to make fools afraid, Hear them not, for they will make you dismayed. God? tush, when was God to any man seen, I had not been now alive, if any God had be. To be a goddess your self truly you must believe, And y to you may be so, your mind thereto you must give All other gods beside your self you must despise, And set at nought their Scripture in any wise. In summer time now and then to keep away flies, Let some of that fair hair hang in your eyes: With a hot needle you shall learn it to crisp, That it may curl together in manner Like a wisp. In deed about her nose there be little pretty holes, Therefore I think that she hath had the pocks, I mean good faith without any gaudes or mocks. I have known painters that have made old crones To appear as pleasant as little pretty young Jones. It is a stock (they say) right honourable and good, That hath neither these nor whore in their blood. No more words: how say you M. here by pleasure? This is a true proverb, and no feigned fable, Few women's words, be honest, constant, and stable. Does he not move you to matrimony? Take heed that he bring you not to such dotage, For many incommodities truly be in marriage. You shall not keep my counsel, if you can not keep your own Can you not make good cheer, but it must be known? You must ever have a tongue well filed to flatter, Let your garments be sprinkled with rose water. Use your civet, pommander, musk, which be to fell, That the odour of you a mile of, a man may smell, With sweet ointments such as you can appoint, Use you evermore your proper body to anoint. Hold up the market, and let them pay for the beware, Be ever catching and taking, do you not spare. In good faith when you ar come to be and old Maud, Then it will be best for you to play the bawd. In our country there be such old mother bees, Which are glad to cloak baudry for their fees. This is the order, such as were harlots in their youth May use to be bawds evermore for a truth. How say you mistress Marry, tell us your mind, To embrace us & love us can you in your heart find? If that you can play upon the recorder, I have as fair a one as any is in this border, Truly you have not seen a more goodly pipe, It is so big that your hand can it not gripe. Be it so, then you and I will come alone, I trust that by the way we will make one, Nay M. Marry we must have a song of .iiii. parts At your departing to rejoice our merry hearts. Gramercy in deed mine own good loving Jug It does me good in mine arms you to hug, How say you now by these minions? You must think on the counsel that they did give, They will perform their sayings you shall believe. Will you resort with me unto Jerusalem? There we shall be sure in a place to find them. A banquet they have prepared for you I dare say, Such a one as hath not been seen before this day. Truly because you their good hearts should know. There is nothing lost that is done for such a friend, I wis mistress Marry, I would you knew all my mind Will you come? you had need to go but softly, Take heed, for the way is foul and slippery: If never so little backward you chance to slip, Up into your saddle forsooth I am ready to skip. Would, would, would, laugh quod he? laugh I must in deed, I never saw a bolder harlot in my life, To prompt his forward we shall not need, No point of sin but that in his is rife. Malicious judgement I pray thee what cheer, To see thee merry at my heart I do rejoice. For every day I have a garment to wear, According to my work and operation, Among the Pharisees, I have a Pharisees gown, Among publicans and sinners and other I use, I am best I tell thee now, both in city and town, And chiefly among the people of the Jews. This is the cause their Messias, who ̄ Christ they call Is come into the world, sinners to forgive. Now my labour is both with great and small, That none of them do him nor his words believe. The bishops & pharisees I make y e more hard hearted The sins of them that are disposed to sin, I augment, so that they can not be converted, So that hard it will be any grace to win. Thou knowest that among the ̄ I am Justice lega. For by the deeds of the law they will be justified, So that the doctrine of the Messias evangelical, Shall be despised, and he therefore crucified. For if they durst, he should die within this hour. But let this pass, I will tell thee what I have done, Knowest thou not a wench called Marry Magdalene I have brought her now into such a case, That she is passed the fear of God and shame of man, She works privily in every place, Yea and provoketh other thereto now and than, I would thou didst see his disposition, Thou hast not seen his Like I think in thy days. Thou knowest that I dwell with such men always, For in his heart I am even now invisible. Well remembered, yet I must provide a garment Against that I come to my master Simon, About the which the precepts of the testament Must be written in order one by one. Now will I return to my minion again I may not from his be away absent. If his company I should a little refrain, I know well that she would not be content. Huffa mistress Marry, are you so near? I thought otherwise I make God avow. I pray you let me have a word in your ear, I promise you he is a Minion fellow. By my faith I thought that you had been there, For I saw when you did him follow. I beshrew your hearts, whore & thief were agreed You knew the spirit well enough before you cam there I am sure, that so honestly he had you feed, That the reward did put away the fear. Come aside a little, and give him room, And what he is anon we shall understand. The Law of God at this time I do represent, Written with the finger of God in tables of stone, Whereby the people might know their lord omnipote ̄ to And how that he is the Lord God alone. A peculiar people to him self he had elected, Coming of the stock of faithful Abraham, Whom by the law he would have directed, After that out of Egypt from Pharao they came. In me as in a glass it does plainly appear, What God of his people does require, What the peoples duty is, they may see here, Which they owe unto God in pain of hell fire. In me is declared the same justice, Which unto God is acceptable, Men sin is here showed, and proud enterprise, Whereby he is convicted to pains perdurable. It was necessary and it did behoove, Considering men pride and temerity, Which was drunk and blind in his own love, To make a law to show his imbecility. Except the law had rebuked his vanity, So much he would have trusted in his own strength And believed, that through y e power of his humanity, He might have obtained salvation at length. Wherefore as I said to a glass compared I may be, Wherein clearly as in the sun light, The weakness and sin of him self he may see, Yea and his own damnation as it is right. For the curse of God followeth sin always, And damnation followeth malediction: By this it appeareth as clear as the day, That my office is to fill the mind with affliction, I am a ministration of death working ire, I show Gods request, and men unability, I condemn him for sin unto eternal fire, I find not one joust of men fragility. Prick of continued ̄ scie ̄ ce, quod she? it pricks you not so soar As the young man with the flaxen beard did I think What a devil about him here do you poare. If ever I see any such, I pray God I sink. The more you look on him, y e worse Like him you shall. Come away, come away from him for very shame. And in deed will you be gazing on him Still? If you repent not this, let me suffer blame. Body of God, are you so mad him to believe These things are written to make folks afraid, Will you to him or to me credence give? Or to your friends, by whom you were never dismayed And I put case that the words now were true, He speaks of men, but no women at all, Women have no souls, this saying is not new, Men shall be damned, and not women which do fallen. the Law By this term man, truly in holy Scripture, Is undertake both man, woman, and child in deed, Yea as many of both kinds as be of men nature, Which proceed of Adam the first parents seed. Enter know ledge of Sin. By the Law comes the knowledge of sin, Which knowledge truly here I represent, Which freate and bite the conscience within, Causing the same evermore to lament. I am evermore before the conscience sighed, Show before him his condemnation, So that by the deeds of the law, or by his own might He can not attain unto salvation. Lo Marry, have you not spun a fair thread? Here is a pocky knave, and and ill favoured, The deulll is not so evil favoured I think in deed, Corrupt, rotten, stinking, and ill savoured. It is not possible truly to declare here, Know ledge of sin. The horrible, loathsome, and stinking vility, Which before the eyes of God does appear, Committed by this wretched woman's iniquity. I can you thank for that Marry in deed: Well spoken, and unjust God do you esteem. Even from the heart that sentence did proceed, Fear not, their unjust God do you blaspheme: You see no remedy but utter damnation. Follow my counsel, and put care away, Take here your pleasure and consolation, And make you merry in this world while you may. Of one hell I would not have you twain to make: Be sure of a heaven while you dwell here, Refresh your self, and all pleasure do you take, Pluck up a lusty heart, and be of a good cheer. We will rid the knave hence anon by this light. Or else of his life I will soon make him weary. the Law Oh sinner, from thy heart put that infidelity, Which hath drowned thee already in the pit of hell, Trust thou in Gods might and possibility, Whereof neither angel nor man is able to tell. Know ledge of sin. That thing in deed, which to man is impossible, Is a small thing for God to bring to pass, This mercy to all senses is comprehensible, Which he will declare by his holy Messias. the Law That thing which I Can ̄ not do through my infirmity God is able by his son to perform in time appointed, All my contents be shadows of his majesty, Whom now in this time God hath anointed. Know ledge of sin. That Messias alone only shall the law fulfil, And his fulfilling shall be in such acceptation, That God for his sake shall pardon mankind's ill, Accepting his offering for a full contentation. the Law That Messias is the stone spoken of before, Which of vain builders should be refused, Yet he shall be the corner stone of honour, Which in the building of gods to ̄ ple shall be used. And all that trust in him with true believe, Know ledge of Sin. That he is very God and man, into this world sent, God will all their sins for his sake forgive, So that they can be contrite and repent. He that will not the keepers of the law save, Which observe diligently his commandments, Much less truly on them mercy he will have, Which have contemned all his words & judgements. Well Marry, I have condemned thee unto hell fire, the Law Yet not so condemned thee, but if thou canst believe In that Messias, which for thee does inquire, There is no doubt but thy sins he will forgive. Thy soar is known, receive thy salve and medicine, I have the sick to the leache, give good ear, Harken diligently unto his good discipline, And he will heal thee, do nothing fear. Exit. Let me feel your pulses mistress Marry be you sick By my troth in as good to ̄ pre as any woman can be Your veins are full of blood, lusty and quick, In better taking truly I did you never see. The body is whole, but sick is the conscience, Know ledge of sin. Which neither the law nor man is able to heal, It is the word of God received with penitence, Like as the book of wisdom does plainly reveal. Conscience? how does thy conscience little Mall? Was thy conscience sicked, alas little fool? Hooreson fools, set not a pynne by them all, Wise enough in deed, to follow their foolish school, You bottle nosed knave, get you out of place, Avoid stinking whoreson, a poison take thee, Hence, or by God I will lay thee on the face, Take heed that hereafter I do you not see. Though I appear not to his carnal sight, Yet by the means that she knoweth the law, I shall trouble his always both day and night, And upon his conscience continually gnaw. What cheer? now is here but we twain alone, Be merry mistress Marry, and away the mare, A murreyn go with them, now they be gone, Pluck up your stomach, and put away all care. Benedicite, art thou come with a vengeance What wilt thou do? Marry, do you love me? My words print well in your remembrance, To yonder fellows saying do you never gree. A Marry, do you my words no more regard, You have a wavering wit now well I do see, Is not this a like person, the son of God to be, And the Messias which the world should save? He is a false harlot you may believe me, Whom you shall see one day handled Like a knave. If the law of God published by Moses, Be not able to bring men to salvation, Much less such a wretched man doubtless, Can do ought for your souls consolation. Tush take one heaven in this present world here, You remember what before to you I have said: Pluck up your heart wench, and be of good there, Never regard his words, tush, be not afraid. Who is the son of God sir, of whom do you talk? Which hath this power whereof you do boast, It is best for you out of this country to walk, And never more be seen after in this coast. The son of God quod he? This is a pride in deed. Trowest thou that the father can suffer this? They come of Abrahams stock and holy seed, And thou sayest that they believe all amiss. A vengeance take him thief, is he gone? From Marry Magdalene he did me chase: From Simon the Pharisee he will driven me anon, So that no where I shall be able to show my face. I will tell thee Malicious Judgement, His words be of such strength and great power, That the devil him self and all his rabblement, He is able to expel, and utterly to devour. As for a gown, I have one convenient, And lo here is a cap agreeing to the same. And as for the reverend bishop Caiphas, With all the Aldermen of Jerusalem. Will help to bring that matter to pass, For I am Like for ever to dwell with them. By God he shall have sour sauce it may hap, Do thy part, and surely I purpose to watch, It shall be hard, but we will take him in a trap, He shall find him here that will him match. A straw, all this gear will quickly be done, The cooks be ready also I am sure. Let me see, byr lady it is almost noon, I marvel that they can so long fasting endure. I would he were hanged by God and by this light. For never before this day was I thus bound. Pleases it you to wash sir, here is water, Let not yonder beggarly fellow wash with you, It is simple cheer as you say in deed, It is to good for him by the Mass, Hay is good enough for him theron to feed, Or for any such foolish ass. Under the foot quod he if I keep counsel, I would I were hanged up by the very neck. Fie on him whoreson traitor and very rebel, Hear you not how God him self he begins to check? A sinner quod he? yea she is a wicked sinner in deed This is she, from whom he did me expel, Behold, how boldly after him she does proceed, A harlot she is truly I may tell you in counsel. What a thief is this? he judgeth our Master's thought, If we destroy him not, he will surely mar all. And he may perceive truly, that hath any wit, That he is but a man wretched and mortal. Pleases it you reverend father, to give me licence To say my mind to this blasphemerand thief, In few words you shall have my sentence: Of all heretics I judge him to be the chief. Perceive you not how he does Begin? He comes to none of the princes and governors, But a sort of sinners he goes about to win: As publicans, whores, harlots, and unjust occupiers. Them he preferreth before such men as you be, Saying, that they before you shall be saved. And honest man in his company you shall not see, But even them, which have them selves ill behaved. Much good do it you, here is sauce for your meat. Master Simon, look upon this fellow in season, For in continuance he will work such a feat, That you shall not release with all your reason. Lo sir here he calls me Infidelity, And you know that I am called Legal Justification You hear that it was spoken by Gods majesty, That a man shall live by the laws observation. And honest guest, come out dog, yea marry, Good manners thus to taunt a man at his table: But with fools it is folly to vary, His words be taken but as a tale or a fable. All the multitude begins after him to run, You see him and know his doctrine and opinion, If you suffer him till more people he hath won, Strangers shall come and take our dominion. Have you not herd his open blasphemy? The son of God he presumeth him self to name, The Justice of the law he condemneth utterly, To suffer him to live will turn to your shame. Calling us wicked nicknames at his pleasure, He goes about to make you to rebel Against God & his laws, as he does without measure Pleases it you to bid these gentlemen welcome? Surely M. Marry we will make you a Goddess anon. Yea by saint Anne she is lovely in colour, but brown. Sometime for your pleasure you may wear a passed But above all that n is gird your self in the waste, Upon your over body you may nothing else wear, But and unlived garment without any other gear. Let your body be penned, and together strained, As hard as may be, though thereby you be pained. Mistress Marry can you not play on y e virginals? How say you mistress Marry, are you content? Come sirs, help I pray you to sing the same. Heigh dery, dery, with a lusty dery, Hoigh mistress Marry, I pray you be merry. Your pretty person we may compare to Lais, A morsel for princes and noble kings, In beauty you excel the fair lady Thais, You exceed the beautiful Helene in all things, To behold your face who can be weary? Hoigh mistress Marry, I pray you be merry. The hair of your head shineth as the pure gold, Your eyes as grey as glass and right amiable, Your smiling countenance so lovely to behold, all is most pleasant and delectable, Of your commendations who can be weary? Huffa mistress Marry, I pray you be merry. Your lips as ruddy as the red Rose, Your teeth as white as ever was the whale's bone, So clean, so sweet, so fair, so good, so Fresh, so gay, In all Jury truly at this day there is none. With a lusty voice sing we Heigh dery dery. Huffa mistress Marry, I pray you be merry. Very little I hope for his commodity. To do him any good dost thou intend? Thou knowest my mind right well Infidelity What need we any more time to spend? Farewell, thou wilt come to er to day, Master Simon will have him if it be possible. Here is a business with a beggarly fool. It grieveth me the time about him to spend. Go to, you are welcome hitherto my master Simon Think your self at home in your own place. If you depart, we may not here idle stand, For to wait upon you at all times ready we are. At my being here even now of late, It pleased my Lord Jesus of his great mercy Marry: entereth with Ju stificatio ̄ To speak sentences here in my presence. Of the which I have no perfect intelligence, The First is: Many sins are forgiven his said he, Because she hath loved much, meaning me, I pray you most holy Justification, Of this sentence to make a declaration. M. Marry, had you never y e small por in your youth? Mistress Marry will you help to sing a partly? I must kiss to, if I tarry Still. Though you forget it, yet we purpose to remember Exit. You know the way, go I pray you, the door is open. Your neither garme ̄ ts must go by gymmes & joints Above your buttocks they must be tied on w to points. Some women a doublet of fine linen use to wear Unto the which they tie their other neither gear, With wiers & houpes your garments must be made, Pleasure your Minion shall show you in what trade. It skilleth not though in the buttocks you be great Body of God, for this all this while have I wrought? By your smirking look ofttimes on him so I thought What do you love him better than you love me?
