 payne of helle / or ayenst pouerte or losse of catel or ayenst  
 rayn or tempest / or els gruccheth that shrewis haue prospe-  
 ryte / or ellis that good men haue aduersite / 427 And alle these  
 thinges shold men suffre paciently / For they comyn by the  
 rightful Iugement and ordynance of god / 428 Some tyme co  
 mith grucchyng of auarice as Iudas grucched ayenst Mag  
 daleyn whan she anoynted the hede of our lord Ihesu Crist  
 with her precyous oynement / 429 This maner of murmur is  
 such as whan men grucchen of goodnes / of that men hem self  
 done / or that other folk doon of her owen catel / 430 Somtyme co  
 mith murmur of pride as whan Symon the pharise grucchid  
 ayenst Magdaleyn whan she approchid to Ihesu Crist / And  
 wepte at his feet for her synnys / 431 And somtyme it sourdeth  
 of enuye when men discoueren a mans harm that was pryue  
 or berith hym on honde thing that is fals / 432 Murmur is eke  
 ofte among seruantes whan her souereyns bidden hem do lef  
 ful thingis / 433 And for as muche as they dar not openly with-  
 saye the comandement of her maister / yet wil they saye harme &  
 grucche & murmure priuely for very dispite / 434 whiche wordes  
 men clepe the deuylles pater noster / though so be the deuyl had  
 neuer pater noster / but that folk yeue suche a name / 435 somtyme  
 it cometh of yre or of pryue hate þt norissheth rancour in herte  
 as after I shal declare 436 Thenne cometh eke bitternes of herte  
 Thurgh whiche bitternes euery good dede of his neyghbour  
 semyth to hym bitter & vnsauory / 437 Than cometh discorde that  
 vnbindeth al maner of frendship / Thenne cometh scornyng  
 of his neighbour al do he neuer so wel / 438 thenne cometh accusing  
 as whan men sekin occasion to annoye his neighbour / whiche  
 that is like the craft of þe deuil þt wayteth both night & day to
