And it shall make thy bellie to be bitter, but in thy mouth it shalbe ∴ sweete as it were honie.
Sweete in the reading, but in the fulfilling somewhat bitter, bicause it commandeth works of penance, and suffring of tribulations.
The promises of the most gratious fauour of God, and good life to beleeuers are swéete and delectable, but that we must passe
through manie and bitter tribulations to come to life, to flesh and blood can not be but bitter. As for your satisfactorie workes of penance, which your mind runneth on, are not to be found any where in this booke: but your hart is alwaies on your half penie.
