 sompnolence that is sluggy slumbryng whyche makith a  
 man to be heuy and dul in body and in sowle / And this  
 synne comyth of slouthe / 633 And certes the tyme as by weye  
 of reson men shold not slepe that is by the morow but yf  
 it were cause resonable / 634 For sothe in the morow is most co-  
 uenable a man to saye his prayers and for to thynke on  
 god and to honoure god and to yeue almes to the poure
