When thou sawest a Thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with Adulterers; like will to like, every man showeth his temper in his Company. The Fowls of Heaven flock together according to their several kinds, ye shall not see Doves flocking with the Ravens, nor divers kinds intermixed.
