Hear and be wise Rest not in hearing, but see that thou grow wiser and better by it. And guide thy heart in the way Order the whole course of thine affections and actions in God's way, often termed the way, as has been observed before. Be not among wine-bibbers Avoid their conversation and company, lest thou be either infected or injured by them. The drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty Which is the common effect of revelling, feasting, and riotous living. Drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags They are wont to be attended also with immoderate sleeping, laziness, and neglect of all business, which as certainly will reduce men to extreme beggary as gluttony or drunkenness does.
