CAP. VI.
1 Forsothe we helpinge monestyn, that
&yogh;e resceyuen not the grace of God in veyn.
2 Sothli he seith, In tyme accept, `or wel
plesynge, I haue herd thee, and in the
day of helthe I haue helpid thee. Lo!
now a tyme acceptable, lo! now a day of
heelthe.
3 `To no man &yogh;yuynge ony offencioun,
`or hurtynge, that oure mynisterie,
`or seruyse, be not reprouyd;
4 but in alle
thingis &yogh;yue we vs silf as mynistris of
God, in moche pacience, in tribulaciouns,
and in nedis,
5 in angwischis, in betyngis,
`or scorgingis, in prisouns, in dissenciouns
with ynne forth, in trauelis, in
wakyngis,
6 in fastingis, in chastite, in science,
`or kunnynge, in long abydinge, in
swetnesse, in the Hooly Goost, in charite
not feyned,
7 in the word of treuthe, in the
vertu of God; by armers of ri&yogh;twysnesse
on the ri&yogh;t half and left half;
8 by glorie
and vnnobley; by yuel fame and good
fame; as disseyueris, and trewe men; as
thei that ben vnknowen, and knowun;
as men deyinge, and `lo!
9 we lyuen; as
chastisid, and not maad deed;
10 as sorowful,
forsoth euermore ioyinge; as `hauynge
nede, `or as nedy men, sothly
makynge manye riche; as no thing hauynge,
and weldinge alle thingis.
11 A! &yogh;e
Corynthis, oure mouth is opyn to &yogh;ou,
oure herte is alargid;
12 `be &yogh;e not maad
streit in vs, but `be &yogh;e maad streit in
&yogh;oure entrailis.
13 Forsothe we hauynge
the same reward, I seye as to sones, and
be &yogh;e alargid.
14 Nyle &yogh;e lede &yogh;ok with vnfeithful
-- --
men. Sothli what partynge, `or
comunynge, of ri&yogh;twysnesse with wickidnesse?
or what felowschip of li&yogh;t to derknessis?
15 sothli what acordinge of Crist
to Belial? or what part of a feithful, `or
cristen man, with vnfeithful, `or hethene?
16 but what consent to the temple
of God with ydols? Forsoth &yogh;e ben the
temple of quyk God, as the Lord seith,
For I schal dwelle in hem, `and I schal
walken in; and I schal be the God of
hem, and thei schulen be to me a peple.
17 For which thing go &yogh;e out of the myddel
of hem, and be &yogh;e departid, seith the Lord,
and touche &yogh;e not vnclene thing;
18 and I
schal resceyue &yogh;ou, and I schal be to
&yogh;ou in to a fadir, and &yogh;e schulen be to me
into sones and dou&yogh;tris, seith the Lord
almy&yogh;ti.
