As in [the] day wander we honestly, not in superfluous feasts [or in oft eatings], and drunkennesses, not in beds and unchastities, not in strife and in envy;
But take ye heed to yourselves, lest peradventure your hearts be grieved with gluttony, and drunken-ness, and busynesses of this life, and that day come suddenly on you;
envies, manslayings, drunkennesses, unmeasurable eatings [or gluttonies], and things like to these, which I say to you before, as I have told to you before, for they that do such things, shall not have the kingdom of God.
Only live ye worthily to the gospel of Christ, that whether when I come and see you, either absent I hear of you, that ye stand in one spirit of one will, travailing together to the faith of the gospel.
Therefore slay ye your members, which be on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lechery, evil covetousness, and avarice, which is service of maumets [or simulacra];
but save ye them, and take ye [or ravish] them from the fire. And do ye mercy to other men, in the dread of God, and hate ye also that defouled coat, which is fleshly.
