Christ has taught us to pray for our daily bread. Nature is content with a little. Not to thirst, not to starve—is enough. "Having food and clothing, let us be content." The stomach is sooner filled—than the eye! how quickly would a man be content, if he would study rather to satisfy his hunger—than his humor.
Beware of going to plays. A play-house is often a preface to a whore-house... We are bid to avoid all appearance of evil: and are not plays the appearance of evil?Ten Commandments, 159
