The Morall.
This Emperour betokeneth our lord Jesu Christ. The rauisher betokeneth euery sinner, which rauisheth gods mer∣cy as often he violateth the commaun∣dements of God by sinne, for the diuell may neuer ouercome man but if it bée suffered by will. For saint Austin saith▪ Non est peccatum nisi sit voluntarium. It is no sinne but if it be volūtary. The rauisher also is called afore the Justice when the soule is departed from the bo∣die, and anon the first damosell (Inno∣cency) layde against the sinner that he ought to dye euerlastingly by the law of righteousnesse. But that other mayden (that is Christ his merits) layd for hir how the mercy of God ought to help by harty repentaunce and acknowledging our sinnes, which is the high way to e∣uerlasting life. Unto the which God bring vs all.
Amen.
