158 Of Mony.

SOmtime Money béeing demaūded of vertue, why she rather went to the euil thā the good, aunswered: bicause good men brought vp in thy schoole neuer learned to lye and forswere, & to occupie vsurie, & to rob others, for these things are woont to draw me vnto them: forsooth (quod vertue) I had rather that my scholers lyued in pouertie, than they should defile thē selues with these vices, for both of them haue a short ende: y^e good leauing euerlasting glorie vpon earth, flie vp to the kingdome of heauen: but the euill with slaunder ynough, leauing their riches, shall goe downe to the bottome of Hell.

MOR. Commonly a man helpeth him, to whome he would do some mischiefe.
