ought to meue a man to cortrycon is drede of the day of | |||
dome / And the horrible paynes of helle / . 85 For as saith | |||
saint Iherome / At euery tyme that I remembre of the day | |||
of dome / I quake 86 for whan I ete or drynke or doo what so | |||
I do / euer me semeth the trompe sowneth in myn eres / . | |||
87 Ryseth vp that ben dede and come ye to the Iugement . | |||
88 O good god muche ought a man to drede suche a Iuge- | |||
ment ther as we shal be alle / As saith saint Paule / . | |||
Before the strayt Iugement of our lord Ihesu Crist / . | |||
89 where as we shal make a general cōgregacion / where as | |||
no man may be absent / 90 For certes ther auayleth non es- | |||
soyne ne none excusacion 91 And not only that our fawtes | |||
shal be Iuged but eke oure werkes shal openly be knowen | |||
92 And that as saith seynt Bernard / There ne shal no | |||
pletyng auayle ne no sleyghte / We shal yeue rekenyng | |||
of euery ydle worde / . 93 There shal we haue a Iuge that | |||
may not be deceyuyd ne corrupt And why for certes al | |||
our thoughtes be discouerd as to hym ne for prayer ne | |||
for mede he wyl not be corrupt / 94 And also he sayth The | |||
wrath of god wil not spare no wight for prayer ne for | |||
yeft / And therfore atte day of dome ther is none hope / | |||
95 Wherfore as sayth seynt Ancelme Ful grete anguysh | |||
shal the synful folk haue at that tyme 96 where shal be the | |||
sterne & wroth Iuge syttyng aboue / And vnder hym | |||
the horryble pyt of helle open to destroye hym that wolde | |||
not beknowen his synnys / whiche synnes shullen openly | |||
be shewd before god and euery creature / 97 And on the | |||
lyft syde mo deuylles than the herte may thynke for to | |||
harrye and drawe the synful sowles to the pytte of helle . | |||
