mory and forgetteth him selfe and stondeth and beholdeth and
falleth to playe also / forgettynge father and mother / all their
kyndes / all their lawes and his awne profitt
therto. How be it the knowlege of his fathers kyndnesse / the
faith of his promises and the loue that he hath agayne vn to his
father and the obedient mynde are
not vtterly quenched / but lye hyd / as all thynges
do when a man slepeth or lieth in a traunce. And assone as he
hath played out all his lustes or be warned in the meane season
/ he cometh agayne vn to his olde profession. Neuer the later
many temptacions goo ouer his
herte / and the law as a right hangman tormenteth his
conscience and goeth nye to persuade him that his father will
cast him a waye and hange him if he ketche him so that he is
like a greate while to runne awaye rather then to returne vn to
his father agayne. Feare and dreade of rebuke and of losse of
his fathers loue and of punishment
wrastell with the trust which he hath in his fathers
goodnesse and as it were geue his faith a fall. But it riseth
agayne assone as the rage of the first brount is past and his
mynd moare quiett. And the goodnesse of his father and his old
kindnesse cometh vn to remembraunce / eyther of his awne corage
or by the comforte of some other. And he beleueth that his
father will not cast him a waye or destroye him / and hopeth
that he will no moare doo so.

abounde. Cf. Rom. 14.5. Answer translates the Vulgate, unusquisque in suo sensu abundet. Tyndale's 1526 NT gives "Se
that no man waver in hys awne mynde"; 1534 NT has "in his awne meanynge"
(Wallis 339/9; TNT 239B). KJV has, "Let
euery man bee fully perswaded [fully assured] in his owne minde." The
1557 edition of Dialogue (CWM 6/1.50/14)
identifies this quote as 1 Thess. 4.[10]. Cf. "We beseche you brethren
that ye encreace more and more" (Wallis
430/15–16; TNT 302B).
