16. . . . . . . . . . . . .
17. Shall he teach a disciple, if he be a heathen ? or a sinner 3?
- The righteous man in his misery, if he have not wherewithal to be fed,
And wants wherewithal to be fed, (May teach) for a salary, but not without a salaryo.
- What shall be the salary ? -The price of what an ox ploughs.
But he gives a tongue to the wolf, who imparteth the Holy Word to the heretic.
18. He that refuseth food to the heathen and the sinner, is he guilty ?-He is not guilty,
Unless he refuse it to the labourer in his service ?

• He may teach a Daevayasna or a Peshôtanu, but only to gain his bread, when reduced to starvation; in no case, and on no account whatever, may he teach a heretic.
