(3) [centered]

3 "Nor Standeth in t. [the] way of Sinners."

That man is unblessed – that goes to linger
in the haunts of sinners – known transgressors.
Long – eyes open, into danger – – happy
is he that keeps from every public or
private haunt of vice. All villains –
will tell you so when honest.

One can not breathe that atmosphere
& be safe – to linger in the way of sin-
-ners is to go where G. [God] has strewn no blessings.

4 ["] Nor sitteth in t. [the] seat of t. [the] Scornful."

Takes the position of a Scorner.
Atheist – Infidel – Sabbath-breaker;
the profane – sneerers & revilers & ridiculers
of piety – Who neglect house of God –
Bible – prayer – & serious religion
– he is unblest for he has nothing to
support him – to cheer him.
