"A Ryght Profytable Treatyse Compendiously Drawen Out Of Many and Dyvers…” by Thomas Betson is a religious treatise likely written in the late 15th to early 16th century. This work serves as a guide for Christian devotion and contemplation, emphasizing the importance of virtuous living and prayer. It draws on the writings of holy men to provide spiritual instruction for both the clergy and laypeople. The book comprises a collection of prayers, reflections, and moral teachings intended to guide believers toward a life of piety and virtue. Betson discusses key elements of Christian faith such as the Lord’s Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the Apostles' Creed, presenting them in the vernacular for accessibility. Additionally, he offers insights into the seven virtues opposed to the seven vices, emphasizes the significance of confession and self-examination, and recounts various acts of mercy and spiritual practices aimed at fostering a deep connection with God. The text ultimately reinforces the idea that living a charitable and obedient life leads to spiritual health and eternal salvation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
