beginneth

When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.

He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.

For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man’s building be able to stand.

And as the potter knoweth the use of each vessel, what it is meet for, so also doth the Lord know the body, how far it will persist in goodness, and when it beginneth in evil.

For whenever it beginneth to do good, he forceth the issue of the action into evil for him, seeing that the treasure of the inclination is filled with an evil spirit.
