a pill of Repentance: for howsoeuer hee hath scowr'd his estate, he hath clog'd his conscience, and it must be pur∣ged. Binde vp his vnruly hands, so lauish and letting flye. Pull off from his eyes that filme of errour, that hee may distinguish his reproouing friends from his flattering ene∣mies. Coole his luxurious heate with Solomons after∣course, the banket of his pleasures being done: that for al these things God will bring him to iudgement. That begge∣rie * 1.1 is the heire apparant of riote, as the yonger sonne in the Gospell (wee haue too many such yonger brothers.) That his answer to those that admonish his frugalitie, is built vpon a false ground: My goods are my owne, as the Pa∣rasites said of their tongs: whereas he is not a Lord, but * 1.2 a Steward, and must one day reddere rationem dispensatio∣nis. The bill of his reckoning will bee fearefull. Item, for so many oathes. Item, for so many lies. Item, for drun∣kennesse. Item, for lust, &c. Nay, and Item for causing so many Tauerne Items, which were worse then Physicke bils to his estate. To conclude, if Death finde him as Bankerout of spirituall, as of worldly goods, it will send him to an eternall prison.
