And not onely cast a∣way suche great enormities, as we now spoke of: but also suche thinges, wherin the comen sorte of mē is wont to beare with them selfes, as wrath, fyersenes, maliciousnes, cursed speakyng, that ye not onely haue your heartes pure from suche desyres, but also your mouth cleane frō al filthy communicacion.
