So full of the motions of concupiscence; so unguarded in thy outward senses; so often entangled with many vain imaginations;
So much inclined to exterior things, so negligent as to the interior;
So easy to laughter and dissolution; so hard to tears and compunction.
So prone to relaxation, and to the pleasures of the flesh; so sluggish to austerity and fervour;
So curious to hear news, and to see fine sights; so remiss to embrace things humble and abject;
So covetous to possess much; so sparing in giving; so close in retaining;
So inconsiderate in speech; so little able to hold thy peace;
So disorderly in thy carriage; so over eager in thy actions;
So greedy at meat; so deaf to the word of God;
