Kinsm. Every thing that liveth doth live by feeding, as Birds, Beasts, Fishes, and so do men.
Pium. You say true; and the Souls of men are living Souls, and •herefore should be fed with the food which God hath appointed •or them, and that is the word of God and prayer.
Kinsm. If our Souls be living Souls, what do they feed upon? we having neither the word of God •or praye•?
Pium. Your Souls feed upon nothing but lust, and lying, a•d •ealing, and killing, and Sabbath breaking, and Powwowing; and •ll these are sins which poison, starve, and kill your Souls a•d expose them to Gods wrath that they may be tormented among Devils and wicked men in Hell fire for ever: and therefore it is in ove to your Souls that we persuade you to pray unto God. But ow that we have eaten and are sufficed wih food, let us give hanks to God for it, and pray that it may be blessed to us. [He iveth Thanks]
