How 2 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.480 the high Father of Heaven sendeth death to summon every 3 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.439 creature to come and give account of their lives in 4 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:19.120 this world. Translated from the Dutch ply alkalook. I pray 5 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.920 you all give your audience and hid this matter with reverence. 6 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.359 The figure moral play the summoning of every man called 7 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.039 it is that of our lives, and ending shows her 8 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.439 transitory be all day. This matter is wondrous, precious, but 9 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.679 the intent of it is more gracious and sweet to 10 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.560 be away. The story says man in the beginning, look 11 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.880 well and take good heat to the ending beyond. 12 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.920 Never so gay he thinks thin in the beginning full suite, 13 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.439 which in the end causes her soul to weep. When 14 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.000 the body lies in lay, Here shall you see her 15 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.799 fellowship and both strengths pleasure and beauty will faith from 16 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.280 tears the flower may. For ye shall hear how our 17 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.400 heaving King calleth every man to a general reckoning, Give 18 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.959 audience and hear what it does. Say. 19 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.799 I perceive here, in my majesty, how that all creatures 20 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.120 be to me unkind, living without dread, and worthy prosperity 21 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.000 of ghostly sight. The people be so blind, drowned in sin, 22 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.000 they know me not, for their God in worldly riches 23 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.480 is all their mind. They fear not my right wiseness, 24 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.560 the sharp rod, my law that I should when I 25 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.200 for them died, they forget clean and shedding of my 26 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.400 blood red I hanged between two. It cannot be denied. 27 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.519 To get them life I suffered to be dead. I 28 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.959 healed their feet with thorns. Hurts my head. I could 29 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.400 do no more than I did, truly, And now I 30 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.319 see the people do clean forsake me. They use the 31 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:11.199 seven deadly sins, damnable as pride, coveties, wrath, and letchery 32 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.400 now in the world be made commendable. And thus they 33 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.120 leave of angels the heavenly company. Every man liveth so 34 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.520 after his own pleasure, and yet of their life they 35 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.759 be nothing. Sure I see the more that I them forbear, 36 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.800 the worse they be. From year to year, all that 37 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.120 liveth appeareth fast. Therefore I will, in all the haste 38 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.319 have a reckoning of every man's person. For and I 39 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.360 leave the people thus alone in their life and wicked tempests. 40 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.159 Verily they will become much worse than beasts. For now 41 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.840 one would by envy another upeat charity. They all do 42 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.599 clean forget. I hoped well that every man in my 43 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.759 glory would make his mansion, and there too I had 44 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.000 them all elect. But now I see, like traitors deject 45 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.800 they thank me not for the pleasure that I to 46 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.120 them meant, nor yet for their being that I them 47 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.439 have lent. I proffered the people great multitude of mercy, 48 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.680 and few there be that asketh it heartily. They be 49 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.560 so cumbered with worldly riches that needs on them. I 50 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.599 must do justice on every man living without fear. Where 51 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.759 art thou death, Thou mighty Messenger. 52 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.400 Almighty God, I am here at your will, your commandment 53 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.520 to fulfill. 54 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.719 Go thou to every man and show him in my 55 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.520 name a pilgrimage he must on him take, which he 56 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.800 in no wise may escape, and that he bring with 57 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.439 him a sure reckoning, without delay or any tarrying. 58 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.520 Lord, I will in the world go run over all 59 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.520 and cruelly out search both great and small.
