27 Maye a man take fyre in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent?

28 Or can one go vpon hote coales, and his fete not be hurte?

29 Euen so, who so euer goeth in to his neghbours wife, and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.

30 Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe, that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hongerie:

31 but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes asmoch, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house.

32 But who so comitteth aduoutrie with a woma, he is a foole, and bryngeth his life to destruccion.

33 He getteth him self also shame & dishonor, soch as shal neuer be put out.

34 For the gelousy & wrath of the ma will not be itreated,

35 no though thou woldest ofre him greate giftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them.
