THE TEACHING OF AMEN-EM-APT 155 XXXV. 195. (Col. XI). Show thou kindness (or, affec- tion) to people of humble condition. XXXVI. 196. Find thou thy seat in the sanctuary of the house of the god, 197. The gifts made by thee shall be the cake- offerings of thy Lord. 198. Make thyself to be [as if] thou wast one of the blessed dead, [and as if] thou wast a swathed [mummy] in thy coffin. XXXVII. 199. Be thou strong for the Divine Souls {i.e., Will) of God (to do His WiU ?). XXXVIII. 200. Make not an invocation to bring a detestable thing upon people. XXXIX. 201. Hide [thou] the affairs (or, plans) of the fugitive (slave ?) XL. 202. Whether thou hearest the thing that is good or the thing that is evil, 203. Treat it as a matter that is outside thy interest ; hearken not to it. 204. I beseech thee to spread with thy tongue only the report of that which is good upon the earth, 205. Whilst as fsir as reports of evil are concerned, hide them in thy belly.
