Caxton 1, folio283v image
 hede to all these thinges aforesaid er that ye take vengeance  
 522 For I saye that ther be ful many thinges that shal restrayn  
 yow of vengeance takyng 523 & make yow for tenclyne to suf  
 fre & to haue pacience in the wronges that haue be don . 524 First  
 and forward & yf ye wil considere the defawtes that be in  
 your owen persone . 525 For whiche defawtes god hath suffred  
 yow to haue alle thys tribulation as I haue sayd before to  
 yow . 526 For the Poete saith / That we oughten paciently to  
 take the tribulations that comen to vs / whan we thinke &  
 considere that we haue deseruyd to haue them . 527 And saynt  
 Gregory saith / that whan a man considereth well the nom  
 bre of his defautes & synnes / 528 the paynes & tribulations that  
 he suffreth semen the lasse to hym 529 And in as moche as hym  
 thinketh his synnes more heuy and greuous 530 in so moche  
 semeth his peyne more lighter and esyer to hym / 531 Also ye  
 oughten tenclyne & bowe your herte to take the pacyence of  
 our lord Ihesu Crist as saith saynt Peter in his epistlis  
 532 Ihesu Crist he saith that suffreth for vs & yaf ensample to  
 euery man to folowe and sue hym / 533 for he dide neuer synne  
 Ne neuer cam ther out of his mouth vileyns word / 534 whan  
 men cursed hym / he cursed hem not / And whan men beten  
 hym / he manassed hem not . 535 Also the grete pacyence that  
 sayntes whiche that ben in paradyse haue had in tribulati-  
 ons that they haue suffryd wythouten her deserte or gylt  
 536 ought moche stire your pacience 537 Forye shold enforce yow to  
 haue pacience / 538 Consideryng the tribulations of this world  
 but lityl while endureth and sone passyd & goon / 539 And  
 the Ioye that a man seketh by pacyence in tribulacions is  
 perdurable / After that the Apocalips saith in his epistle .
