論勤則勿怠、論志則宜銳、論主則當事、

怠者惟思寢、惰者必致飢。

經云、寢宜寤、死當起、基督賜爾光、

惰則致貧、勤則致富。

惟爾懈惰思寢、何時得寤。爾束手而寢、言欲少寐、俄傾即起、不知貧乏之至、速于行旅、迅如武士。

事耕耘者、得果腹、從虛誕者、缺智慧。

惰者欲而不得、勤者必有贏餘。

凡此皆所當行、因知屆期、今宜寤矣、較我初信之時、福更近之、

船長就之曰、何為酣睡、盍醒而起、禱爾之上帝、庶乎上帝眷顧我儕、以免死亡。

宜儆醒、勿犯罪、有人不知上帝、吾言此以愧爾、

惰者之田、愚者之園、我嘗過焉、草萊蔓延、荊棘叢生、墻垣傾圮、我觀而思之、遂明其道、人束手而寢、言欲少寐、俄頃即起、不知貧乏之至、速如行旅、迅如武士。

我昔在爾中命爾云、人不操作、勿予之食、
