Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Every-Man: A Morality This Morality, or moral play, was published early in the reign of Henry VIII. and is given from a black-letter copy, preserved in the library of the church of Lincoln; was communicated to the editor with the greatest politeness by the Rev. Dr. Stinton, chancellor of that church. The design of it was to inculcate great reverence for old mother church and her popish superstitions. As the most ingenious Dr. Percy has given an Analysis of this and the following Moralities, they are, with his permission, prefixed to the present edition. "The subject of this piece is the summoning of man out of the world by death; and its moral, that nothing will then avail him but a well-spent life and the comforts of religion. This subject and moral are opened in a monologue spoken by the Messenger, (for that was the name generally given by our ancestors to the prologue on their rude stage:) Then God is represented; who, after some general complaints on the degeneracy of mankind, calls for Dethe, and orders him to bring before his tribunal Every-man, for so is called the personage who represents the human race. Every-man appears, and receives the summons with all the marks of confusion and terrour. When Dethe is withdrawn, Every-man applies for relief in this distress to Felawshyp, Kyndrede, Goodes, or Riches, but they successively renounce and forsake him. In this disconsolate state he betakes himself to Good-Dedes, who, after upbraiding him with his long neglect of her, introduces him to her sister Knowledge, and she leads him to the holy man Confession, who appoints him penance: this he inflicts upon himself on the stage, and then withdraws to receive the sacraments of the priest.
