SAVANAR.

In eating, he sets before us Gluttony; In generation, luxury; In labour, sluggishnesse; In conversing, envy; in governing, covetousnesse; In correcting, anger; In honour, pride; In the heart, he sets evill thoughts; In the mouth, evill words; in actions evill workes; when awake, he moves us to evill actions; when asleepe, to filthy dreames.
