21Humble thy selfe before thou be sicke, and in the time of sinnes shew repentance. 22Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vowe in due time, and deferre not vntill death to be iustified. 23Before thou prayest, prepare thy selfe, and be not as one that tempteth the Lord. 24Thinke vpon the wrath that shall be at the end; and the time of vengeance when he shall turne away his face. 25When thou hast enough remember the time of hunger, and when thou art rich thinke vpon pouerty and need.
