13 The slouthfull saith, there is a lion in the way, and a lion in the middest of the streates.

14 Like as the doore turneth about vpon the hynges: euen so doth the slouthfull walter him selfe in his bed.

15 The slouthfull body thrusteth his hande into his bosome, and it greeueth hym to put it agayne to his mouth.

16 The sluggarde thinketh him selfe wiser then seuen men that sit and teache.
