Refrain to-night,
And that shall lend a kind of easiness
To the next abstinence: the next more easy;
For use almost can change the stamp of nature.
Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Abstinence and fasting cure many a complaint.
The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor.
Against diseases here the strongest fence, Is the defensive vertue, abstinence.
To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are foul.
To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Abstinence is whereby a man refraineth from any thyng which he may lawfully take.
Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.
