Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth, 6 and the tonge is fyre, and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure membres, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell. 7 All the natures of beastes, and of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thinges of the see, are meked and tamed of the nature of ma. 8 But the toge can no man tame. Yt is an vnruely euell full of deedly poysou. 9 Therwith blesse we God the father, and therwith cursse we men which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of one mouth proceadeth blessynge and cursynge.
