174 Of the Cockatrice and Seawolfe.

THe Cockatrice on a time went to y^e sea side in the clothing of a Monke, & called to him the Wolfe, saying: O brother, since thou wast marked with the signe of the crosse, thou art become a perfect Christian, I pray thée ther∣fore come vnto mee, and instruct me in the fayth of Christ, that I may be baptized, & thereby es∣cape euerlasting iudgement, and haue fruition of eternall ioye. The Wolfe fishe marking hym well and knowing what he was, sayde: O thou hipocrite, a coule maketh not a frier, thy wordes are full of wickednesse and craft, neyther inten∣dest thou to be baptized of me, but rather thou wouldest beguyle & poyson mée: therefore I will not heare thée, and foorthwith hée swam away, & left him all ashamed.

MOR. Beware of those which come in shéepes clothing outwardly, but inwardly are rauening Wolues.
