Cleanliness XXIV.

Clean be kept thy Garment, and

Clean be kept thy Mouth and Hand.

Clean thy Garment from false Gawds

Clean from all Earth's Filth thy Hand.

Clean thy Heart from earthly Spite;

Clean thy Lips from Greed's Demand.

Outer Threshhold ever clean,

Clean within let all Things stand.

House all clean, might entertain

Angel from the Heavenly Land.

Clean the Food, and clean the cup,

Clean the Wall from smoking Brand.

Son! Thy outward Cleanliness

Pledge of inward is, when scanned.

Clean let Hand and Mouth be kept;

Clean thy Garment's every Strand.
