I dare saye that boldly,
Whan a man hath a cempetent liuing 100
with the grace of god that passeth all thyng
Loue of his neyghbour, and good reporting
Then is he welthy,
Welth of goodes is but a fame
Ye is welthy that hath a good name
Euery wyse man wyll coueyte the same
For otherwelth I not reche
yf a man haue neuer so much good name
Euerywise man wyll coueyte the same
if his dtsposicions be nought and wood 110
Then he is but a wretch,

+Welth.+ Nay thou art a wretch, and a foole vnwyse
welth of ryches thus to despyse
Doest thou not se all the worlde aryse
By goodes and substaunce
He that hath plenty of syluer and golde
May haue all thyng whatsoeuer he woulde
Whan can welth lacke, seing all thing is solde
And welth is of assuraunce.

+Health+ I denye that, your saying is nought 120
Grace, heauen, nor cunning, cannot be bought
without great paine, ãd good dedes wrought
Els man cannot them haue.

+wealth+ Stop thereat, and hold thy peace
May not men by heauen with richesse
