We Do Not Become Righteous

The Fool Will Upset The Whole Science Of Astronomy, But As The Holy Scripture Shows, It Was The Sun And Not The Earth Which Joshua Ordered To Stand Still.

Why Do You Rant And Brag With Such A Spate Of Words, As If You Wanted To Overwhelm Me With A Sort Of Tempest And Deluge Of Oratory-which Nevertheless Falls With The Greater Force On Your Own Head, While My Ark Rides Aloft In Safety?

There Is No Rustic So Rude But That, If He Dreams Or Fancies Anything, It Must Be The Whisper Of The Holy Ghost, And He Himself A Prophet.

Whenever The Devil Harasses You, Seek The Company Of Men Or Drink More, Or Joke And Talk Nonsense, Or Do Some Other Merry Thing. Sometimes We Must Drink More, Sport, Recreate Ourselves, And Even Sin A Little To Spite The Devil, So That We Leave Him No Place For Troubling Our Consciences With Trifles. We Are Conquered If We Try Too Conscientiously Not To Sin At All. So When The Devil Says To You: Do Not Drink, Answer Him: I Will Drink, And Right Freely, Just Because You Tell Me Not To.
