1My sonne, hast thou sinned? doe so no more, but aske pardon for thy former sinnes. 2Flee from sinne as from the face of a Serpent: for if thou commest too neere it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof, are as the teeth of a lyon, slaying the soules of men. 3All iniquitie is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed. 4To terrifie and doe wrong, will waste riches: thus the house of proude men shalbe made desolate.
