The harmonie of Holie Scriptures vvith the seuerall sentences of sundry learned and vvorthy vvriters : collected for the comfort of all such as are desirous to seeke after theyr soules health / by I.B.

¶ A breefe collection, of certaine other god∣lie preceps and counsels.

§. 1.

THou shalt not (saith the Lord) raile vp∣on* 1.1 the Iudges: neither speake euill of the Ruler of thy people.

Curse not the King, no not in thy thought: neither curse the rich in thy bed∣chamber.* 1.2 For, the foule of the heauen shal carry the voyce, & that which hath winges shall declare the matter.

Beware therefore of murmuring, which* 1.3 profiteth nothing; & refraine your tunge from slaunder: for, there is no word so se∣crete, that shall goe for nought, and the mouth that speaketh lyes, slayeth the soule.

§. 2.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do* 1.4 euill; neither agree in a controuersie to de∣cline after many, & ouerthrow the truth.

Be not carried about with euery winde,* 1.5 and goe not into euery way: for so dooth the sinner that hath a double tongue.

Stand fast in thy sure vnderstanding, &* 1.6 in the way and knowledge of the Lord: & haue but one manner of word, and follow the word of peace and righteousnes.

In no wise speake against the vvorde of* 1.7 truth; but be ashamed of the lyes of thine owne ignoraunce.

Be not disobedient to the feare of the* 1.8 Lord, and come not vnto him with a dou∣ble hart.

Be not an hypocrite, that men shoulde* 1.9 speake of thee, but take heede vvhat thou speakest.

Exalt not thy selfe, least thou fall, and* 1.10 bring thy soule to dishonour, and so God discouer thy secrets, and cast thee downe in the middes of the congregation: because thou wouldest not receiue the true feare of God: and because thine heart is full of de∣ceite.

§. 3.

My Son (saith Salomon) feare the Lord,* 1.11 and the King, and meddle not with them that are sedicious: for, theyr destruction shall come suddainly.

Goe not forth hastilie to strife, least thou know not what to doe in the end thereof,* 1.12 when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

Striue not for a matter that thou hast not to doe with: and sitte not downe in the* 1.13 iudgement of sinners.

For,] hee that passeth by, and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto* 1.14 him, is as one that taketh a dogge by the eares.

§. 4.

Grieue not (saith the Apostle) the holie* 1.15 Spirit of God, by whom yee are sealed vn∣to the day of redemption.

But stand alwayes in dread to doe any thing, whereby thy conscience may bee* 1.16 wounded: for, the conscience is soone wounded; yea, sooner then thou art aware of.

§. 5.

Let none (saith Moises,) be founde a∣mong* 1.17 you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorowe the fire; or that vseth witch-craft; or a regarder of times; or a marker of the flying of foules; or a Sorcerer; or a Charmer; or that counsel∣leth with spirits; or a Sooth-sayer; or that

asketh counsell at the dead.

For, all that doe such things, are abhomi∣nation* 1.18 vnto the Lord.

§. 6.

Giue not that which is holy vnto dogs,* 1.19 (saith Christ,) neither cast yee your pearles before swine; least they treade them vnder theyr feete; and turning againe, all to rent you.

Seeke not to reforme him that will heare* 1.20 no reason; neither contend much with a foole, about matters of wisedome.

For, hee that is obstinate in euill, vvill* 1.21 scorne to be reclaimed by any counsell.

And, doctrine vnto a foole, is as fetters* 1.22 vpon his feete, and manicles vpon his right hand.

But] hee that despiseth the vvorde [of* 1.23 God,] hee shall be destroyed.

And,] hee that turneth avvay his eare* 1.24 from hearing the law, euen his prayer shall be abhominable.

§. 7.

Let no man say when hee is tempted, I* 1.25 am tempted of God: for, God cannot bee tempted with euill, neyther tempteth hee any man.

But euery man is tempted, when hee is* 1.26 drawne away by his owne concupiscence, and is intised.

Say not thou it is through the Lord that* 1.27 I turne back: for, thou oughtest not to do the things which hee hateth.

Doe not say the Lord hath caused me to* 1.28 erre: for hee hath no neede of the sinfull man.

Besides,] the Lord hateth all abhomina∣tion* 1.29 of errour: and they that feare GOD, loue it not.

Hee made man from the beginning, &* 1.30 left him in the hand of his counsell, & gaue him his commaundements & precepts. If thou wilt, thou shalt obserue the cōmaun∣dements, & testifie thy good will. He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch out thine hand vnto which thou wilt.

Hee hath commaunded no man to doe* 1.31 vngodlie, neyther hath hee giuen any man licence to sin: for, hee desireth not a mul∣titude of infidels, and vnprofitable chyl∣dren.

§. 8.

Thinke not thy selfe to bee that vvhich* 1.32 thou art not; neyther desire to seeme in shew, more rich then thou art in substance.

Burthen not thy selfe aboue thy power whilst thou liuest: neither keepe company* 1.33 with one that is mightier & richer then thy selfe: for, howe agree the Kettle and the earthen pot••e together? for if the one bee smitten against the other, it shall be bro∣ken.

Say not, I haue enough, & possesse ma∣ny* 1.34 things, & what euill can come vnto me heereafter?

In thy good state remember aduersitie,* 1.35 and in aduersitie, forget not prosperitie.

When thou hast enough, remember the* 1.36 time of hunger; and when thou art rich, thinke vpon pouertie and neede: from the morning vntill the euening, the time is changed; & all such things are soone done before the Lord.

§. 9.

If thou hast riches, spend them not too* 1.37 prodigally, nor too sparingly: so shalt thou neither be needy, nor in bondage to thine owne wealth.

If thou seeme to be rich, when thou art* 1.38 poore, it betokeneth that thy minde is proude, though thy wealth be weake: but if thou seeme to be poore, when thou art

rich; it argueth a couetous desire vvith a full coffer.

§. 10.

Be not careful for your life, (saith Christ)* 1.39 what yee shall eate, or what ye shal drinke, nor yet for your body, what yee shall put on.

Is not the life more woorth then meate? and the body then rayment? Behold the foules of the heauen, for they sow not, ney∣ther reape, nor carry into the Barnes: yet your heauenly father feedeth them: Are yee not much better then they?

Which of you by taking care, is able to adde one cubite vnto his stature? And why care yee for raiment? Learne, how the Lil∣lies of the fielde do grow: they labour not, neither spinne: Yet I say vnto you, that e∣uen Salomon in all his glory, was not aray∣ed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the fielde, which is to day, and to mor∣row is cast into the ouen, shall hee not doe much more vnto you, ô ye of little faith?

Take no thought therfore, saying: what shall we eate? or what shall we drinke? or where-with shall we be clothed? (For after all these things seek the Gentiles,) for your

heauenly Father knoweth that yee haue neede of all these things. But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and the righteous∣nesse thereof, and all these thinges shall be ministred vnto you.

§. 11.

My sonne, saith Sirach, leade not a beg∣gers* 1.40 life, for better it were to die, then to begge.

The life of him that dependeth on ano∣ther* 1.41 mans table, is not to be counted for a life: for he tormenteth himselfe after other mens meate. But a wise man and wel nur∣tured, will beware thereof.

It is not freedome to liue licentiously:* 1.42 neyther is it libertie to liue without labour.

To liue idely, is to liue wickedly: & to* 1.43 depend vpon other mens liberalitie, is the ready way to bring thee to misery.

But to labour, and to be content with* 1.44 that a man hath, is a sweete life.

§. 12.

Beware least thou say in thine hart: My* 1.45 power, and the strength of mine owne hand, hath prepared me this aboundance. But remember the Lord thy God, for it is hee which giueth thee power to gette sub∣stance.

And, it is an easie thing with him, sud∣dainly* 1.46 to make a poore man rich.

§. 13.

Say not thou, Why is it that the former* 1.47 dayes vvere better then these? for thou doost not enquire wisely of this thing.

Say not, The time that our fore-fathers* 1.48 liued in, was better then this present age: for vertue and good life, make good daies; but aboundance of vice corrupteth the time.

§. 14.

Many miseries and calamities, (saith Es∣dras)* 1.49 remaine for them that shall liue in the latter time: because they shall walke in great pride.

And, the weaker that the worlde is by* 1.50 reason of age, the more shal the euils be in∣creased vpon them that dwell therein.

This knowe also, that in the last dayes,* 1.51 shall come perrillous times.

For, men shall be louers of their owne* 1.52 selues; couetous, boasters, proude, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthank∣full, vnholy.

Without naturall affection, truce-brea∣kers,* 1.53 false accusers, intemperate, fierce, de∣spisers of thē that are good, traitours, hea∣die,

high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of GOD; hauing a shewe of* 1.54 godlines, but haue denied the power ther∣of: turne away therefore from such.

§. 15.

Aske no counsell for religion, (saith Si∣rach,)* 1.55 of him that is without religion: nor of iustice, of him that hath no iustice: nor of a woman, touching her of whom shee is iealous: nor of a coward, in matters of warre: nor of a Merchant, concerning ex∣change: nor of a buyer, for the sale: nor of an enuious man, touching thankfulnesse: nor of the vnmercifull, touching kindnes: nor of an vnhonest man, of honestie: nor of the slothfull for any labour: nor of an hireling for the finishing of a work: nor of an idle seruaunt for much busines: harken not vnto these in any matter of counsell.

But be continually with a godly man,* 1.56 whom thou knowest to keep the cōmaun∣dements of the Lorde: whose minde is ac∣cording to thy minde, and is sorry for thee whē thou stumblest. And, hold thy coun∣sell fast in thine heart: for, there is no man more faithfull to keepe it, then thou thy selfe.

§. 16.

Despise not the exhortations of those* 1.57 Elders that be wise, but acquaint thy selfe with theyr sentences: for, of thē thou shalt learne wisedome, and the doctrine of vn∣derstanding: and howe to serue great men without complaint.

Stand with the multitude of the Elders that are wise, & ioyne thy selfe to him that* 1.58 hath wisedome. Desire to heare all godly talke, and let not the graue sentences of knowledge escape thee.

And, if thou seest a man of vnderstan∣ding,* 1.59 get thee soone vnto him, and let thy foote weare the steppes of his doores.

If thou doubt in any thing, aske counsel* 1.60 of such men as haue knowledge; and bee not angry if they chaunce to reproue thee.

For, if when thou art reproued, thou de∣part* 1.61 immediatly hating thy coūseller, thou shalt be like vnto the sicke man, which so soone as his Surgion hath cut his vlcer, go∣eth his way; not tarrying till his wound be dressed, & his griefe asswaged.

§. 17.

Lende not vnto the man that is mightier* 1.62 [or richer] then thy selfe: for, if thou len∣dest to such an one, count it but lost.

Lende to thy neighbour in time of his* 1.63 neede, and pay thou thy neighbour againe in due season. Keepe thy worde, and deale faithfully with him; and thou shalt alway finde the thing that is necessary for thee.

Many after a thing is once lent thē, rec∣kon* 1.64 it to be founde, & thereby grieue him that hath helped them.

Till they receiue, they kisse his hands, &* 1.65 for theyr neighbours good they humble theyr voyce: but when they should pay a∣gaine, they prolong the terme, and giue a carelesse aunswer, & make excuses by rea∣son of the time.

And though hee be able, yet giueth hee* 1.66 scarce the halfe againe, and reckoneth the other as a thing found: else, hee deceiueth him of his money, and maketh him an ene∣mie without a cause: hee payeth him with cursing and rebuke, and giueth him euill words for his good deede.

There be many which refuse to lend be∣cause* 1.67 of this inconuenience, fearing to be defrauded without cause.

Yet haue thou patience with him that* 1.68 humbleth himselfe, and deferre not mercy from him. Helpe the poore for the com∣maundements sake, & turne him not away

because of his pouertie. Loose thy money* 1.69 for thy brothers and neighbours sake, and let it not rust vnder a stone to thy destruc∣tion.

§. 18.

Be not suretie aboue thy power, (saith* 1.70 Sirach) for if thou be suretie, thinke to pay it.

A man destitute of vnderstanding, tou∣cheth* 1.71 the hand, and becommeth surety for his neighbour.

And, is thereby snared and taken, euen* 1.72 with the words of his owne mouth.

Beware therefore howe thou passe thy* 1.73 word for another man; least he scape free, and thou fall into danger.

For, suretiship hath destroyed manie a* 1.74 rich man, and remoued them as the waues of the sea: mighty men hath it driuen away from theyr houses, & caused them to wan∣der among strange Nations.

§. 19.

My sonne (saith Tobie) sette our Lorde* 1.75 God alwayes before thine eyes, and let not thy will be set to sinne▪ or to transgresse the commaundements of the Almighty: Doe vprightly all thy life long, and follow not the wayes of vnrighteousnes: for if thou

deale truly, thy dooings will prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them which liue iustly.

Doe no euill, so shall no harme come vn∣to* 1.76 thee: depart from the thing that is wic∣ked, and sin shall turne away from thee.

Resist the deuill, and hee will flee from* 1.77 thee.

But if thou yeelde vnto his desire in one* 1.78 sinne, he will presently seeke to drawe thee to another.

Sowe not therefore vppon the furrowes* 1.79 of iniq••itie, least thou reape them seauen∣folde.

§. 20.

Be not deceiued; God is not mocked,* 1.80 for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape. He that soweth to his flesh, shal of the flesh reape corruption: but hee that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting.

Now,] the workes of the flesh are mani∣fest;* 1.81 which are adultery, fornication, vn∣cleanenesse, wantonnesse, idolatry, vvitch∣craft, hatred, debate, emulation, vvrath, contentions, seditions, heresies, enuy, mur∣ders, drunkennes, gluttony, and such like: wherof I tell you before, as I also haue told

you in time past, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of GOD.

But the fruite of the Spirit, is loue, ioy,* 1.82 peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, faith, meekenes, [&] temperancie: against such, there is no lawe.

§. 21.

Looke well to thy selfe, least the reyne* 1.83 of thy youth, and the libertie of thine own estate, cause thee to commit that which is euill.

Follow not thy lusts, but turne thee frō* 1.84 thine own appetites: for if thou giuest thy soule her desires, it shall make thine ene∣mies that enuy thee, to laugh thee to scorne.

Doe not what thou wouldest, but what* 1.85 thou shouldest: and the better to abstaine from euill, keepe thy selfe from the com∣pany of those that are wicked.

§. 22.

Suffer not thy hands to work, thy tunge* 1.86 to speak, or thine eares to heare, that which is euill, or wicked.

But beware of sinne, as the serpent of the* 1.87 soule, which spoyleth men of all theyr or∣naments

and seemely apparrell in the sight of God.

Binde not two sinnes together: for in* 1.88 one sinne shalt thou not be vnpunished.

§. 23.

Be not secure, least want of care, pro∣cure* 1.89 thy calamity, neither be thou too care∣full, least pensiue thoughts oppresse thee with misery.

Be not too rash in wordes, nor too for∣ward* 1.90 and hastie in thy deedes.

But what-soeuer thou takest in hand, re∣member* 1.91 the end, and thou shalt neuer doe amisse.

For, good respect, & due consideration* 1.92 to the end of things, preserueth both body and soule.

§. 24.

Take good aduisement vvith thy selfe,* 1.93 before thou beginne any thing: but vvhen thou hast begunne, dispatch it speedily.

Attempt not two things at once, for the* 1.94 one of them will hinder the other.

Begin nothing before thou first call for* 1.95 the helpe of God: for God, whose power is in all things, giueth most prosperous fur∣therance and happy successe, vnto all such good works as we doe begin in his name.

§. 25.

Be not faint-hearted when thou makest* 1.96 thy prayer neither slack or negligent in gi∣uing of almes.

Let not thy hand be stretched out to re∣ceiue,* 1.97 & shut when thou shouldest giue.

For it is a more blessed thing to giue, thē* 1.98 to receiue.

§. 26.

Be not hasty in thy tongue, neither slack* 1.99 and negligent in thy works.

Desire not to be wise in wordes, but in* 1.100 workes: for wisdome of speech wasteth with the world; but workes wrought by wisedom, increase into the world to come.

Powre not out words, where there is no* 1.101 audience, and shew not forth wisedom out of time.

For,] a wise man wil hold his tongue till* 1.102 he see opportunitie: but a trifler & a foole, will regard no time.

Reproue not another man, for such euils* 1.103 as are founde in thy selfe vnreformed: but first learne to liue wel, then teach others by thyne owne example.

For, hee that teacheth good, and dooth* 1.104 euill, is like him which lighteth vp a candle to other men, and goeth darkling himselfe.

§. 27.

Comber not thy minde vvith worldlie* 1.105 carefulnes, neither let the vaine delights of this life, draw thy thoughts from vertue, to followe the falshoods of them.

But seeke to inrich thy selfe with store of* 1.106 vvisedome and vnderstanding: that thou maist rather profit thy Country by thy good instructions, then proue preiudiciall to the people by thy bad example.

Let iust men eate and drinke with thee;* 1.107 and let thy reioycing be in the feare of the Lord.

Be not proude in prosperitie, neither de∣spaire* 1.108 in aduersitie.

VVish not for those thinges that thou* 1.109 maist not obtaine: neither praise any vn∣worthy person because thou knowest him wealthy.

Take not thy enemie for thy friend, nor* 1.110 thy friend for thyne enemie.

Be not too hastie to meddle with matters* 1.111 that are doubtfull, neyther let thy tongue runne beyond thy wit.

§. 28.

If thou talkest with any man, haue re∣spect* 1.112 to keepe a measure in thy communi∣cation: for, if thou be too breefe, thou

shalt not well be vnderstood: and if thou be too long, thou shalt not well be borne in minde of him that heareth thee.

Be not too hastie to giue credite to ano∣ther* 1.113 mans wordes, neither laugh his spee∣ches to scorne that talketh with thee: for, the one is the propertie of a foole; the o∣ther, the conditions of a mad man.

Affirme nothing before thou knowe the* 1.114 truth: neither let thine owne beautie, thy youth, or thy riches deceiue thee.

Doe good to other men, but harme not* 1.115 thy selfe; be bountifull, but not prodigall: be readie to relieue him that is in necessitie, but let not thy gifts be aboue thine ability.

§. 29.

Bee not vnthankfull to him that hath* 1.116 done thee good.

Seeke not to rule others before thou thy* 1.117 selfe hast first learned to obey.

Speake no vntruth of any man liuing,* 1.118 neither suffer thy tongue to slaunder them that be dead.

Be alwayes one to thy friende, aswell in* 1.119 aduersitie as in prosperitie; and keepe thy promise as truly as thou wouldest pay thy debt.

Vse in all things, and towards all men, a* 1.120 simple veritie; without fraude, deceit, or guile, eyther in word or deed.

And be not ashamed to doe iustice to e∣uery* 1.121 man, for, what-soeuer is doone vvith∣out iustice, is tyrannie.

§. 30.

Doe no secrete thing before a stranger,* 1.122 for thou canst not tell vvhat hee goeth a∣bout.

Neither tell the thoughts of thy heart* 1.123 vnto euery man, least he be vnthankfull to thee, and put thee to reproofe.

Dishonour no man in his olde age: for,* 1.124 they were as wee which are not old.

Sit not at all with another mans wife, nei∣ther* 1.125 lie with her vpon the bed, nor banket with her, least thine hart incline vnto her: and so through thy desire thou fall into de∣struction.

Be not glad of the death of thine enemy:* 1.126 but remember that wee must die all, and so enter into ioy.

Be gentle and curteous to euery one, but* 1.127 flatter no man, neyther suffer thy selfe to be flattered of any.

Be familiar with fewe men, and beware* 1.128 whom thou trustest.

Be patient & constant in the time of ad∣uersitie;* 1.129 and, in thy prosperitie be of an humble spirit.

§. 31.

If thy parents wexe poore, supply theyr* 1.130 want with thy wealth: if froward with age, beare patiently with their imperfections.

And striue not with thy father & mother* 1.131 in words, although thou tell the truth.

If thou haue sonnes, bring them vp in* 1.132 nurture and learning, & hold them in awe euen from their youth.

Chasten thy childe while there is hope,* 1.133 and let not thy soule spare for his murmu∣ring.

For, it is better that thou should'st make* 1.134 thy sonne weepe in his youth, then hee should make thee mourne when thou art old.

If thou haue daughters, keepe theyr bo∣die,* 1.135 and shewe not thy face cheerefull to∣wards them.

Suffer not thy daughter to walke abroad* 1.136 after her owne will, for it is the ready vvay to bring her to wickednesse.

If thy daughter be not shamefast, holde* 1.137 her straitly, least she abuse herselfe through ouermuch libertie.

Take heed of her that hath an vnshame∣fast* 1.138 looke: & meruaile not if she trespasse against thee.

For.] as one that goeth by the way, and* 1.139 is thirstie, so shall shee open her mouth & drink of euery next water: by euery hedge shall she sitte downe, and open her quiuer against euery arrow.

§. 32.

Let no couetous man haue any rule ouer* 1.140 thee, neither yeeld thy selfe subiect vnto co∣uetousnesse: for the couetous man wil de∣ceiue thee of thy goods, and couetousnesse will defraude thee of thy life.

If thou intendest any thing whereof may* 1.141 grow any goodnes, deuise to proceed with all diligence; but if by thy workes may chaunce that which is euill, then be as for∣ward to conquer thy will.

Sowe good works, and thou shalt reape* 1.142 the flowers of ioy and gladnesse.

When thou risest in the morning, de∣termine* 1.143 so to spend the day following, as though at night a graue should be thy bed.

Endeuour thy selfe at all times to doe so* 1.144 well, that the wicked may rather enuie thee for thy vertuous life, then good men pitty thee for thy euill liuing.

So liue, and so hope, as though thou* 1.145 shouldest die immediatly.

Order thy selfe so, that thy soule may al∣wayes* 1.146 be in good estate, what-soeuer be∣come of thy body.

§. 33.

Be not as a Lyon in thine owne house,* 1.147 neyther beate thy seruaunts for thy fanta∣sie; nor oppresse them that are vnder thee.

Doe nothing vvithout aduisement, so* 1.148 shall it not repent thee after the deede.

Be not excessiue toward any, & without* 1.149 discretion doe nothing.

Let reason goe before euery enterprise,* 1.150 and counsell before euery action.

Thinke first, then speake, and last of all* 1.151 fulfill.

Liue alwayes with thine vnderlings, as* 1.152 thou wouldest thy betters should liue with thee, & do to all men, as thou wouldest be done by.

§. 34.

Be not ashamed to heare the truth, of* 1.153 whomsoeuer it be: for truth is so noble of it selfe, that it maketh them honorable that pronounce it.

Be sober and chast among young folkes,* 1.154 that they may learne of thee, and among

old, that thou mayst learne of them.

Learne those thinges whilst thou art a* 1.155 chylde, as may afterward profite thee by practise when thou art a man.

And let it not grieue thee in youth to* 1.156 follow vertue; for if thou deferre it off till age, it will seeme like a heauie burden vn∣pleasant to be borne.

§. 35.

Holde friendship with many men: ne∣uerthelesse,* 1.157 haue but one counsellour of a thousand.

If thou get a friende, proue him first, &* 1.158 be not hastie to credite him. For, some man is a friende for is owne occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.

Againe, some friende is but a compani∣on* 1.159 at thy table, and in the day of thine af∣fliction he continueth not.

But in thy prosperitie, he will be as thou* 1.160 thy selfe, and will vse libertie ouer thy ser∣uaunts.

If thou be brought low, he wil be against* 1.161 thee, and will hide himselfe frō thy face.

Contrariwise,] a faithfull freende is a* 1.162 strong defence, & hee that findeth such an one, findeth a treasure.

§. 36.

Abide not thou in the errour of the vn∣godly,* 1.163 but prayse the Lord before death.

For,] thankfulnes perrisheth from the* 1.164 dead, as though hee were not: but the li∣uing, and he that is sound of hart, praiseth the Lord, and reioyceth in his mercy.

Number not thy selfe in the multitude* 1.165 of the wicked, but remember that venge∣ance will not be long in tarrying: and that the rewarde of the vngodly is fire and wormes.

Seeke not death in the error of your life:* 1.166 destroy not your selues, thorow the works of your owne hands: for, GOD hath not made death; neither hath hee pleasure in the destruction of the liuing.

Righteousnes is euerlasting and immor∣tall,* 1.167 but vnrighteousnes bringeth death.

To depart from euill, is a thankful thing* 1.168 to the Lord; and to forsake vnrighteous∣nesse, is a reconciling vnto him.
