Let the Word of God, quod a? nay let a whoreson drivel
Prate here all day, with a foul evil,
And all thy sermon goeth on covetise,
And biddest men beware of avarice;
And yet in thy sermon dost thou none other thing,
But for alms stand all the day begging!
FRIAR.
Leave thy railing, I would thee advise—
PARDONER.
Nay, leave thou thy babbling, if thou be wise—
FRIAR.
I would thou knowest it, knave, I will not leave a whit—
PARDONER.
No more will I, I do thee well to wit—
