¶ The .iii. Chapter.
¶ What good and euell commeth thorow the tonge.
The dutie of soch as be lerned The difference
betwixte the wysdome of the Gospell, ∧ the wysdome
of the worlde.
A My brethren, note be not euery m&abar; a master,
knowinge how þt; we shal receaue
þe; greater damnaci&obar;: for in many
thinges we synne all. noteIf a man synne not
in worde, þe; same is a perfecte m&abar;, ∧ able also
to tame all þe; body. Beholde, we put bittes
in to þe; horses mouthes, þt; they maye obeye
vs, ∧ we turne aboute all the body of
th&ebar;. Beholde also þe; shyppes, whych though
they be so great, ∧ are dryu&ebar; of fearce wyndes,
yet are they turned about wyth a very
small helme whyther soeuer þe; violence of þe;
gouerner will. Euen so the tonge is a lytel
member also, and boasteth great thynges.
B Beholde, how gret a thynge a lytell fyre
kyndleth, and the tonge is fyre, eu&ebar; a world
of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge
oure membres, that it defyleth the whole
body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of
nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell.
All the natures of beastes, and &obar;f byrdes,
and of serpentes, ∧ thinges of þe; see are meked
and tamed of the nature of man. But þe;
tonge can no man tame. It is an vnruely
euyll, full of deedly poyson.
C Ther &wt; blesse
we God the father, and therwith cursse wemen,
note which are made after the (ymage and)
symilitude of God. Out of one mouth
proceadeth blessing and cursyng. My brethr&ebar;,
these th&ibar;ges ought not so to be. Doth
a fountayne send forth at one place swete
water and bytter also. Can the fygge tree
(my brethren) beare olyue beries: ether a
a vyne beare fygges? So can no fountayne
geue bothe salt water ∧ fresshe also. Yf eny
m&abar; be wyse ∧ endued &wt; knowledge am&obar;ge
you, let hym shewe his workes out of good
conuersacion with mekenes of wysdome.
But yf ye haue bytter enuyeng ∧ stryfe in
your herte, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst
the trueth: For soch wysdome descendeth
not fr&obar; aboue: but is erthy, naturall, ∧
diuelisshe.
D For wher enuy&ebar;g ∧ strife is, there
is vnstablenes, ∧ all m&abar;ner of euyll workes.
But þe; wysdome þt; is fr&obar; aboue, is first
pure, th&ebar; peasable, g&ebar;tle, ∧ easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good frutes, without
iudging, without simulacion: yee, ∧ þe; frute
-- --
of ryghtewesnes is sowen in peace, of them
that mayntene peace.
