2 Discreetly, not with confusion. Quod quotidic fit, moderatè fiat, Sen. Give so to day, that thou mayest give to morrow. Confine not thy charity to the twelve days.

The moldiness gives their bread, the Fly gives their meat, the Moth gives their garments. CHRIST hath not their Superflua, sed reproba: though it be course, let it be wholesome; know thy best things come from Christ.
