On Opening One’s Ears to the Cry of the Poor
If this be not amended, I let you to understand that the poor must cry, and their voice shall be heard, their distress considered, & our vengance shall be wrought I tell you troth, even in Jesus Christ that the poor hath cried unto the Lord, and he hath heard them. With speed therefore open your ears: if not to man, yet to Christ, who continually commaundeth us to give and bestow upon the poor and needy. Give and it shall be given you saith he by S. Luke, and setteth before our eyes the example of the poore widowes mites. .
