The .iii. Chapter.
MY brethren / be not every man a *master / remembering how that we shall §Areceive the more damnation: for in many things we sin all. If a man sin not in word / the same is a perfect man / & able to tame all the body. Behold we put bits into y• horses mouths that they should obey us / & we turn about all the body. Behold ⟨p. cccli⟩also the ships / which though they be so great / and are driven of fierce winds / yet are they turned about with a very small helm / whither soever the violence of the governor will. Even so the tongue is a little member / and boasteth great things.
