Yet natheles they that be dampned be no thyng in ordre | |||
ne holde non ordre / 145 For the erthe shal bere hem no fruyt / . | |||
146 For as the prophete Dauid saith / God shal destroye the | |||
fruyt of the erth from hem / Ne water shal yeue hem no | |||
moysture ne the eyer no refresshyng / ne the fyre no light | |||
147 For as saith saynt Basyle / The brennyng of the fyre of | |||
this world shal god yeue to hem that ben dampned in helle | |||
148 But the light and the clerenes shal be yeuen in heuen to | |||
his children / right as the good man yeueth breed to his | |||
children and bones to his houndes / 149 And so they shal haue | |||
none hope to escape / And therfore speketh Iob / Atte last | |||
ther shal horrour and grisly drede dwellen withouten ende | |||
150 Horrour is alle way drede of harme that is to come / And | |||
thys drede shal euer dwelle in the hertes of hem that ben | |||
dampned . And therfore haue they lost al her hope for . vj . | |||
causes / 151 First for god that is her Iuge shal be withouten | |||
mercy to hem / ne they may not plese hym ne none of his | |||
halowis / ne may paye no thing for her raunson 152 ne they haue | |||
no voys to speke to hym / ne they mowe not fle fro peyne . | |||
153 And therfore sayth Salamon the wicked man deyeth / | |||
And whan he is dede he shal haue none hope to escape from | |||
payne / 154 Who so wolde wel vnderstonde these peynes and | |||
bethynke hym wel that he hath deseruyd the peynes for his | |||
synnes / Certes he sholde haue more talent to syghe and | |||
wepe than for to synge and for to playe / 155 For as sayth | |||
Salamon / who that had the science for to knowe the peynes | |||
that ben establysshyd and ordeyned for synne he wold | |||
forsake synne / 156 That science saith saynt Austyn makith | |||
a man to weymenten in his herte / . | |||
