DOCTOR. This memorial men may have in mind: Ye hearears, take it of worth, old and young, And forsake pride, for he deceiveth you in the end; And remember beauty, five wits, strength and discretion, They all at the last do every man forsake, Save his good deeds, there doth he take. But beware! for and they be small, Before God he hath no help at all. None excuse may be there for every man, Alas! how shall he do then? For after death amends may no man make. For then mercy and pity doth him forsake. If his reckoning be not clear when he do come, God will say (ite maledicti in ignem eternum) And he that hath his account whole and sound, High in heaven he shall be crowned. Unto the which place God bring us all thither, That we may live, body and soul, together. Thereto help the Trinity! Say ye, for Saint Charity, Amen! _Pleadings in A Theatrical Lawsuit._ _Temp.
