Bob's your uncle! ;-) >And a rayling tongue is a pestilence so full of
contagiousnesse, that Saint Paul willeth Christian men to forbeare the
company of such, and neither to eate nor drinke with them (1 Corinthians
5.11). And whereas hee will not that a Christian woman should forsake
her husband, although he be an Infidell, or that a Christian seruant
should depart from his Master, which is an Infidell and Heathen, and so
suffer a Christian man to keepe company with an Infidell: yet he
forbiddeth vs to eate or drinke with a scoulder, or quarrelpicker. And
also in the first Chapter to the Corinthians, hee saith thus, Be not
deceiued, for neither fornicators, neither worshippers of Idols, neither
theeues, nor drunkards, nor cursed speakers shall dwell in the kingdome
of heauen (1 Corinthians 6.9-10). It must needs be a great fault, that
doth moue and cause the father to disherite his naturall sonne. And how
can it otherwise be, but that this cursed speaking must needs be a most
damnable sin, the which doeth cause GOD our most mercifull and louing
Father, to depriue vs of his most blessed kingdome of heauen?<
So never say Gorblimey again, Patrick!
