10 Of a yong man that song at the bu∣riall of hys mother.

A Certayne man wepte and lamented for his wife beeing caried to burying, but his sonne did sing: whom his Father rebuked, as he had bene madde that he would sing when hys mother went to buriall, wheras he ought with him to be heauy and lament. Why Father (quod he) if thou haue hyred these Priests to sing, why arte thou angry with mée that sing for nothing? That is no parte of thy office sayd his Father, but belongeth to the Priest.
