And Al Be It So That God Resceyveth Gladly Hir Preiers, And Yyveth Hem, As Fool-large, Moche Gold, And Apparayleth Coveytous Folk With Noble Or Cleer Honours; Yit Semeth Hem Haven Igeten Nothyng, But Alwey Hir Cruel Ravyne, Devourynge Al That They Han Geten, Scheweth Othere Gapynges (that Is To Seyn, Gapyn And Desiren Yit After Mo Rychesses.) What Brydles Myghte Withholden To Any Certeyn Ende The Disordene Covetise Of Men, Whan Evere The Rather That It Fletith In Large Yiftes, The More Ay Brenneth In Hem The Thurst Of Havynge? Certes He That Qwakynge And Dredful Weneth Hymselven Nedy, He Ne Lyveth Nevermo Ryche.
