Mace(i)
1 you breathe slaughter and revenge for what you cannot obtain.
2 you quarrel and go to war, but without success, because you don't petition for it: and if you did,
3 you would not obtain it, because you wickedly request to have your passions gratified.
4 Degenerate race, don't you know that friendship with vice is hostility against heaven. he that is a friend to the vicious world, is an enemy to God.
5 or do you imagine that passage of scripture to be insignificant, "does the spirit that dwells in you, incite you to vice?"
6 on the contrary, he heaps his favours upon you. wherefore 'tis said, "God defeats the proud, but is gracious to the humble."
