But manly set the world on sixe and sevene; And, if thou deye a martir, go to hevene.

Truth is the highest thing that man may keep.

. . . if gold rust, what then will iron do?/ For if a priest be foul in whom we trust/ No wonder that a common man should rust. . . .

Take a cat, nourish it well with milk and tender meat, make it a couch of silk.

He that loveth God will do diligence to please God by his works, and abandon himself, with all his might, well for to do.

Whoso will pray, he must fast and be clean, And fat his soul, and make his body lean.

If gold rusts, what then can iron do?
