TEmperance is that vertue of the soule, whereby the appetite and vnrulie affections of mans nature are kept in awe and gouernment; so that the eie lusts not, the toong offends not, the hand breakes not forth into vn¦lawful actions, nor any part of the whol
bodie straies beyond that dutie requi∣red to the honor of god, and the good of our neighbour: this vertue is so ne∣cessarie, that like as a cunning Pylot in a ship, so she sits in the fraile vessell of mans bodie, that but for her gui∣dance, wold either be dashed in peeces against the rockes of affliction, or sinck in the sandes of a thousand temptati∣ons.
