Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace; — Temperance

"Abstinence is whereby a man refraineth from any thyng which he may lawfully take."

"Drinking water neither makes a man sick, nor in debt, nor his wife a widow."

"These names of virtues, with their precepts, were: 1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."

"Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, When once it is within thee; but before Mayst rule it, as thou list: and pour the shame, Which it would pour on thee, upon the floor. It is most just to throw that on the ground, Which would throw me there, if I keep the round."

"If all the world Should in a pet of temprance, feed on pulse, Drink the clear stream, and nothing wear but frieze, Th All-giver would be unthankd, would be unpraisd."

"Well observe The rule of Not too much, by temperance taught In what thou eatst and drinkst."
