If freres cunne not or mow not excuse hem of these questions asked of hem, it semeth that they be horrible gilty against god and hir even-Christen; for which gyltes and defautes it were 430 worthy that the order that they calle hir order were for-don. And it is wonder that men susteyne hem or suffer hem live in suche maner. For holy writ biddeth that thou do well to the meke, and geve not to the wicked, but forbid to geve hem breed, lest they be mad thereby mightier through you. Finis. 435 ¶ Prynted for Jhon Gough.
