137. SALUTATION.
Christ, I have read, did to His chaplains say,
Sending them forth, Salute no man by th' way:
Not that He taught His ministers to be
Unsmooth or sour to all civility,
But to instruct them to avoid all snares
Of tardidation in the Lord's affairs.
Manners are good; but till His errand ends,
Salute we must nor strangers, kin, or friends.
Tardidation, sloth.

138. LASCIVIOUSNESS.
Lasciviousness is known to be
The sister to saturity.

139. TEARS.
God from our eyes all tears hereafter wipes,
And gives His children kisses then, not stripes.
And gives His children kisses then, not stripes.
140. GOD'S BLESSING.
In vain our labours are whatsoe'er they be,
Unless God gives the benedicite.
Unless God gives the benedicite.
141. GOD, AND LORD.
God is His name of nature; but that word
Implies His power when He's called the Lord.
Implies His power when He's called the Lord.
