A   Honoure þe; Physycion: honoure him because of necessite. God hath created hym (for of the Hyest commeth medycine) and he shall receaue giftes of the kyng. The wysdome of þe; Physycion bryngeth hym to great worshyppe, ∧ in þe; syght of the greate men of thys worlde, he shalbe honorably taken. The Lorde hath created medycine of the earth, and he that is wyse, wyll not abhorre it. ^noteWas not the bytter water made swete with a tre? þt; men myght learne to know þe; vertue therof. The Lord hath geuen men wysdome, and vnderstandynge, þt; he myght be honoured in hys wonderous worckes. With soch doth he heale men, and taketh awaye theyr paynes: Of soch doth the Apotecary make a confeccion yet can no man perfourme all his worckes. For of þe; Lorde c&obar;meth prosperous wealth ouer all the earth.

B   My sonne, despyse not thys in thy sycknes, but ^note praye vnto the Lord, and he shall make the whole. Leaue of from synne, and ordre thy handes a ryght, clense thine herte fr&obar; all wyckednes. Geue a swete sauoured offrynge, and þe; fyne floure for a token of rem&ebar;braunce: make the offerynge fat, as one that geueth þe; fyrst frutes, and geue rowme to the Physycion. For the Lord hath created him lett him not go from the, for þu; hast nede of hym. The houre maye come, that þe; sycke maye be helped thorow them, when they praye vnto þe; Lorde, that he maye recouer, ∧ gett health to lyue longer. He that synneth before his maker, shall fall into the handes of the Physycion.

C   My sonne, ^note bryng forth thy teares ouer the deed: and begynne to mourne, as yf thou haddest suffred greate harme thy selfe: and then couer his body after a c&obar;ueni&ebar;t maner ∧ despyse not his buryall. Enforce thy selfe to wepe, and prouoke thy selfe to mourne, ^note and make lam&ebar;tacyon expedi&ebar;tly, ∧ that a daye or two, lest thou be euell spoken of: and then c&obar;forte thy selfe because of þe; heuynes. ^noteFor of heuynes c&obar;meth death, the heuynes of the hert breaketh strength. Heuynes and pouerte greueth the herte in tentacyon ∧ offence. Take no heuynes to herte, dryue it awaye, and rem&ebar;bre the last thynges. Forget it not, for there is no turnynge agayne. Thou shalt do hym no good, but hurte thy selfe. Rem&ebar;bre his iudgem&ebar;t, thyne also shalbe lykewyse: vnto me yesterdaye, vnto þe; to daye. ^noteLet þe; rem&ebar;braunce of þe; deed ceasse in his rest, ∧ c&obar;forte thy selfe agayne ouer hym, seynge his sprete is departed from hym. The wysdome of þe; scribe is at c&obar;ueni&ebar;t tyme of rest: and he þt; ceasseth from exercise and laboure, shalbe wyse. He that holdeth the plough, D   and hath pleasure in proddynge, ∧ driuynge þe; oxen, and goeth aboute with soch workes, he can speake of oxen: He setteth his herte to make forowes, ∧ is diligent to geue the kyne fodder. So is euery carp&ebar;ter also ∧ worckmaster, þt; laboureth styll nyght ∧ daye: he carueth, graueth ∧ cutteth oute, ∧ his desyre is in sondrye c&obar;nynge thinges, his hert ymagineth, how he maye conyngly cast an ymage, his dilig&ebar;ce also ∧ watchinge perfourmeth the worcke. The yronsmyth in lyke maner bydeth by his stithye, ∧ doth his diligence to laboure the yron. The vapoure of the fyre brenneth his flesh, ∧ he must fyght &wt; the heate of the fornace. The noyse of þe; Hammer soundeth euer in his eares, ∧ his eyes loke styll vpon the thynge that he maketh. He hath set hys mynde there vpon, that he wyll make out his worcke, and therfore he watcheth, how, he maye set it out, ∧ bryng it to an ende.

E   So doth the potter syt by his worcke, he turneth þe; whele aboute with his fete, he is dilig&ebar;t and carefull in all doynges, and his laboure ∧ worcke is without nombre. He fashioneth þe; claye with hys arme, and with his fete he tempereth it. Hys herte ymagineth how he maye make it pleasaunt, ∧ his diligence is to clense the ouen. All these hope in their handes, and euery one thyncketh to be c&obar;nynge in his worke. Without these maye not the cyties be maynteyned, inhabited ner occupied: yet come they not hye &ibar; the congregacyon: they vnderstande not the couena&ubar;t of þe; lawe: they cannot declare equyte and iudgem&ebar;t: they cannot fynde out the darcke sent&ebar;ces, but thorow them shall the creature of þe; worlde be mayntayned: theyr prayer concerneth onely the worcke and laboure of connynge.
