The princes favor and the peoples care: 
Although the gifts be great and very rare, 
The groaning gout, the colick, and the 
stone, 
Will mar their nrirth, and turn it all to 
moan. 
But be it that the body subject be 
To no such sickness, or the like annoyy 
Yet if the conscience be not firm and free, 
Riches are trash, and honor but a toy 3 
The peace of conscience is that perfect joy 
Wherewith God’s children in this lite are 
blest, 
To want the which, better want all the 
rest. 
The want of this made Adam hide his head, 
The want of this made Cain to wail and 
weep, 
The want of this makes many goto bed, 
When they (God wot) have little lust to 
sleep ; 
Strive therefore, strive to entertain and 
keep 
So rich a jewel, and so rate a guest, 
Which being had, a rush for all the rest.”’ 
UPON A PRIEST THAT HID MONEY. 
** A certain priest had hoarded up 
A mass of secret gold, 
And where for to bestow the same 
He knew not to be bold; 
At length it liked his fancy well 
To lock it in a chest 
Within the chancel, and he writ 
Thereon, Hic deus est. 
A merry grigg, whose greedy minde 
Dud prick for such a prey, 
Respecting not the reverend words 
That onthe casket lay ; 
‘Fook ont the gold, and blotting out 
The priestsinscript thereon, 
Wrote: Resurrexit, non est bic; 
Your God is risen and gone.”
