§ 55. At the Epiphany he does not 

 consider it right to tonsure or wash or 

 split wood or do any other form of work, 

 just as such things are not done on a 

 5 Sunday. The bringing of Christ out 

 of Egypt and the presentation in the 

 Temple and the defeat of the Devil:

 to them in that moment. It is not 

 proper, however, to repeat the sacrament 

 thereafter m extremis.

 poor. 



§ 58. "WTien at the end of a meal 

 the body happens to be roused to lust, 

 slightly or strongly, he considers it

 as if one should say "There, keep thy 

 meal for thyself ! " and he believes 

 that this trial of him will not often bo
