OF INORDINATE AFFECTIONS

Whenever a man coveteth anything inordinately, anon is he disquieted in

himself.

The proud man and covetous hath never rest: the poor and the meek in

spirit dwell in peace.

The man that is not perfectly dead to himself is soon tempted and soon

overcome by small things and things of little price.

In withstanding passions and not in serving them, standeth peace of

heart.

There is no peace in the heart of the carnal man nor in him that is all

given to outward things; but in the fervent, spiritual man is peace.
