Let him that is just not lightly ensue, His vile inclination and carnal concupiscence, But let him rather contend the same to subdue, And chief those that have knowledge of Sapience, Therefore to bridle this lust do your diligence, His crafty provocations utterly to restrain, That Just may live while life doth remain. God man hoball speak you in earnest: What dost thou say, shall the Just bridle me, No, no, brother snaps, do the worst and thy best, I will not be bridled of him nor of thee. Seing Sapience consisteth in heavenly document, And that heavenly document consisteth in sapience To bridle this wretch I can not but consent, Scythe I of his purpose have had oft intelligence. Yet again bridle, it doth not prevail, I will not be bridled of the best of you both, See you this gear heres one will make you to quail, Stand back, to kill you master just I would be loath you have been so burned and fried of late, That it were pity to hurt you any more, Back I say, or my dagger shall about your pate, By the mass but I will sir, Ile make your bones sore. I will bridle thee beast for all thy bragging. In faith good man just, Ile hold ye wagging, Nay brother, ye shall find me a cursed colt to bridle, Nay in faith, better yet I will make thee to struggle. Never leave him but ensue the council of sapience. Lo now I have brought him under obedience. Not so obedient as thou thinkest me to have, Nay brother, ye shall find me a coltishe knave, We he, he, it is good for you to hold fast, For I will kick and winch while thy life doth last▪ Thou shalt kick in deed but no victory win, Neither to conquer the Just to ungodliness nor sin, O yes, O yes, I will make a proclamation. What shall that be? If ye will give me leave than you shall see, O yes, is there any man or woman that hath lost, A gambolling gelding with a grey tail, Let him come to the Crier and pay for his cost, And he will tell him tidings without any fail. To the intent that you may him sharply restrain, Let him not enjoy so much of the rain. cocks soul, now the snaffle cutteth my lip, I would this suberly knave had the pip, I shall leap no hedges while this bridle is on, Out alas, I think it will fret me to the bone. Thus should every man that willbe called just, Bridle and subdue his beastly inclination, That he in the end may obtain perfect trust, The messenger of God to give sight to salvation. That trust to obtain with him I have struggled, Then let us depart and leave this beast bridled.

Let him that is Iuſte not lightly enſue, His vyle inclination and carnall concupicence, But let him rather contende the ſame to ſubdue, And chiefly thoſe that haue knowledge of Sapience, Therefore to brydle this luſte do your diligence, His craftie prouocations vtterly to reſtrayne, That Iuſt may liue whyle life doth remaine. Godd man hoball ſpeake you in earneſt: What doeſt thou ſaye, ſhall the Iuſt bridle me, No, no, brother ſnappes, doe the worſte and thy beſt, I will not be bridled of him nor of thee. Seing Sapience conſiſteth in heauenly document, And that heauenly document conſiſteth in ſapience To bridle this wretche I can not but conſent, Sithe I of his purpoſe haue had oft intelligence. Yet againe brydle, it doth not preuayle, I will not be bridled of the beſt of you both, See you this gere heres one will make you to quaile, Stande backe, to kil you maiſter iuſt I would be loth you haue bene ſo burned and fried of late, That it were pitie to hurte you any more, Back I ſay, or my dagger ſhall about your pate, By the maſſe but I will ſyr, yle make your bones ſore. I will bridle thee beaſt for all thy bragging. In faith good man Iuſte, yle holde ye wagging, Nay brother, ye ſhall finde me a curſte colte to bridle, Nay in faith, better yet I will make thee to ſtruggle. Neuer leue him but enſue the councell of ſapience. Lo nowe I haue brought him vnder obedience. Not ſo obedient as thou thinkeſt me to haue, Nay brother, ye ſhall finde me a coltiſhe knaue, We he, he, it is good for you to holde faſte, For I will kicke and winche whyle thy lyfe doth laſte▪ Thou ſhalt kicke in deede but no victory wynne, Neither to conquer the Iuſt to vngodlines nor ſinne, O yes, O yes, I will make a proclamation. What ſhall that be? If ye will geue me leaue then you ſhall ſee, O yes, is there any man or woman that hath loſt, A gambolling gelding with a graye tayle, Let him come to the Crier and paie for his coſte, And he will tell him tidinges without any fayle. To the entent that you may him ſharpely reſtraine, Let him not enioye ſo muche of the raine. Cockes ſoule, nowe the ſnaffe cutteth my lip, I would this ſuberly knaue had the pip, I ſhall leape no hedges while this brydle is on, Out alas, I thinke it will fret me to the bone. Thus ſhould euery man that wilbe called Iuſte, Brydle and ſubdue his beaſtly inclination, That he in the ende may obtaine perfect truſte, The meſſenger of God to geue ſight to ſaluation. That truſte to obtaine with him I haue ſtruggled, Then let vs departe and leaue this beaſt bridled.
