After a brief prologue asking the audience to listen, God speaks, abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho that humans have become too absorbed in abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho wealth and riches to follow Him, so He commands Death to go to Everyman and summon him to heaven to make his abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho. Death arrives at Everyman's side to abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho him it is time to die and face judgment. Upon abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho this, Everyman is distressed, so begs for more abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho. Death denies this, but will allow Everyman to find a abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho for his journey.
Everyman's friend Fellowship promises to go abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho with him, but when he hears of the abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho nature of Everyman's journey, he refuses to go. Everyman then calls on Kindred and Cousin and abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho them to go with him, but they both refuse. In particular, Cousin abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho a fundamental reason why no people will accompany Everyman: they have their own abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho to write as well. Afterwards, Everyman asks Goods, who will not come: God’s abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho will be severe because of the selfishness implied in Goods’s presence.
Everyman then turns to Good Deeds, abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho says she would go with him, but she is too abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho as Everyman has not loved her in his life. Good Deeds summons her sister Knowledge to abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho them, and together they go to see Confession. In the abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho of Confession, Everyman begs God for forgiveness and abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho his sins, punishing himself with a scourge. After his scourging, Everyman is absolved of his abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho, and as a result, Good Deeds becomes strong abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho to accompany Everyman on his journey with Death.
Good Deeds then summons Beauty, Strength, Discretion and Five Wits to abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho them, and they agree to accompany Everyman as he goes to a abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho to take sacrament. After the sacrament, Everyman tells them abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho his journey ends, and again they all abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho him – except for Good Deeds. Even Knowledge cannot accompany him after he leaves his abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho body, but will stay with him until the abandonaccompanyaccountsanywhereasksbeyondclosescompanionendenoughexplainshearingheavenjoinjudgmentlamentinglastmaterialphysicalpresencepriestreckoningrepentssidesinstelltimetrueweakwherewho of death.
