12If thou sit at a bountifull table, bee not greedy vpon it, and say not, There is much meate on it. 13Remember that a wicked eye is an euill thing: and what is created more wicked then an eye? therefore it weepeth vpon euery occasion. 14Stretch not thine hand whithersoeuer it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish. 15Iudge of thy neighbour by thy selfe: and be discreet in euery point. 16Eate as it becommeth a man those things which are set before thee: and deuoure not, lest thou be hated.
