5Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth to enuy? 6But he giueth more grace, wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace vnto the humble. 7Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and hee will draw nigh to you: cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purifie your hearts yee double minded. 9Bee afflicted, and mourne, and weepe: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your ioy to heauinesse.
