James 3:4-8 Beholde also the shyppes which though they be so gret and are dryven of fearce windes yet are they turned about with a very smale helme whither soever the violence of the governer wyll.

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Beholde also the shyppes which though they be so gret and are dryven of fearce windes yet are they turned about with a very smale helme whither soever the violence of the governer wyll. ⁵ Even so the tonge is a lyttell member and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth ⁶ and the tonge is fyre and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure members that it defileth the whole body and setteth a fyre all that we have of nature and is it selfe set a fyre even of hell. ⁷ All the natures of beastes and of byrdes and of serpentes and thinges of ye see are meked and tamed of the nature of man. ⁸ But the tonge can no man tame. Yt is an vntuely evyll full of deedly poyson.
