The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit\par\tab Than seven men that can render a reason.
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?\par\tab There is more hope of a fool than of him.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;\par\tab But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: {\i being} ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
Go to the ant, thou sluggard;\par\tab Consider her ways, and be wise:
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,\par\tab That I may answer him that reproacheth me.
