| vnmesurable appetyte to ete or to drynke / or els to ete vn- | |||
| mesurably and out of tyme more than nedeth is glotonye | |||
| 745 This synne corruptid al this world as is wel shewid | |||
| in the synne of Adam and Eue / Lo eke what saith seint | |||
| Paule of glotonye / 746 Meny men saith he of whiche I haue | |||
| ofte said you / and now I saye hit wepyng that they be | |||
| enemyes of the crosse of Crist / of whiche the ende is deth | |||
| and of whyche her wombe is her god / And her glorye | |||
| in confusyon of hem that so seruyn erthely thyngys / 747 He | |||
| that is vsaunt to thys synne of glotonye / He may no | |||
| synne wythstande / He mote be in seruage of alle vices | |||
| for it is the deuyllis horde there he hydeth hym in and res | |||
| tyth / . ¶ This synne 748 hath many spyces / The first is | |||
| dronkenes / that is the horrible sepulture of mannes re- | |||
| son / And therfore whan that a man is dronke / he hath | |||
| lost his reson and thys is dedely synne / . 749 But certes | |||
| whan a man is not wont to straunge drynkis / and per | |||
| auenture knoweth not the strength of the drynke or hath | |||
| feblenes in his hede or hath trauaylled thurgh whiche he | |||
| drynketh the more / al be he sodeynly caught with drynke | |||
| it is no dedely synne but venyal . 750 ¶ The second spyce of | |||
| glotonye is / that the spyryte of a man wexith al trouble | |||
| For dronkenes bereueth hym discrecyon of his wytt / . | |||
| 751 ¶ The thirde spice of glotonye is whan a man deuoureth | |||
| his mete and hath no rightful maner of etyng . 752 ¶ The | |||
| fourthe is whan thurgh the grete habundaūce of his mete | |||
| the humours of his body ben distemperyd . 753 ¶ The fifthe | |||
| is foryetfulnes by to muche drynkyng / For whyche a | |||
| man foryetyth by the morowe what he dyde ouer eue / . | |||
