Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

(t) Keep thee from the evil woman, from the Aattery of the tongue of a strange woman: lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burnt?

(z) Remove thy way far from a strange woman, and come not nigh the door of her house; lest thou give thine honour unto others; lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, and say, How have I hated instruction, and despised reproof?

(w) Let not thine heart decline to her ways; for her house is the way to hell. Thou goest after her as an ox goeth to the slaughter, till a dart strike through thy liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

(x) If mine heart hath been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges, For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all my increase,

(y) Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

(x) To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife; and let every woman have her own husband; for it is better to marry than to burn. And marriage is honourable in all; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

(a) Let the younger women marry, bear childdren, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

(b) Let the aged women likewise be in behaviour as becometh holiness; teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands; that the word of God be not blasphemed.

(c) Let the men intreat the younger women as sisters, with all purity.

(d) Fornication and all uncleanness, let it not be once named amongst you, as becometh saints ; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient.

(e) Put all filthy communication out of your mouth; for it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of some in secret.

(f) The woman shall not wear that which per taineth unto a man; neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: For all that do so are abomination unto the Lord.

Blessed

(g) Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

(b) The Lord will reserve the unjust until the day of judgment, to be punished; but chiefly them that walk after the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government: having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin. These, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, shall utterly perish in their own corruption; even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

(i) Neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

(*) No whoremonger nor unclean person hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

(1) Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

(m) But if a man purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

DILIGENCE.

(n) Let every man labour, working with his hands the thing which is good; that ye may have to give to him that needeth.

(0) Six days in the week shalt thou labour, and do all thy work.

Be not slothful in business.

(2) In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that; or whether they both shall be alike good.

(r) There are some which walk disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies: Now them that are such, we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus, that with quietness they work and eat their own bread. If any man will not work, neither should he eat.

(s) There are women also which learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and are not only idle, but also tatlers and busy-bo-dies, speaking things which they ought not. But a virtuous woman looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idle

ness.

(t) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

(u) The slothful man saith, There is a lion in

the way.

(w) The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns.

(*) The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. (y) He that is slothful in his work, is brother to him that is a great waster.

(*) In all labour there is profit; and the thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteous

ness.

(a) Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth by labour shall in

crease.

(b) Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men.

(c) The hand of the diligent maketh rich; but the soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing.

(d) Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

(e) How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed

man.
