¶ The .xiij. Chapter.

-- --

A   A wyse sonne wyll receaue hys fathers warnynge, but he that is note scornefull, wyl not heare when he is reproued. A good man shall enioye the fruite of hys mouth, but he that hath a froward mind shalbe spoyled. He that kepeth his mouth, kepeth his lyfe: but who so speaketh vnaduised findeth harme. The slogarde woulde fayne haue, and can not get his dsyre: but the soule of the diligente shall haue plenty. A ryghtuous man abhorreth lyes, but the vngodlye shameth both other and hym selfe. Ryghtuousnesse kepeth the innocente in the waye, but vngodlynesse shal ouerthrow the sinner.

Some men are rych, thoughe they haue nothynge: againe some men are pore hauing greate ryches. With goodes euery man deliuereth his lyfe, and the poore wyll not be reproued. The lyght of the rightuous maketh ioyfull, B   but the candle of the vngodly shalbe put out among the proud ther is euer strife, but amonge those that do all thynges wyth aduysemente, ther is wysdome. Hastely gotten goodes are sone sp&ebar;t, but they that be gathered together with the hand, shall increase Longe taryenge for a thing that is differed, greueth the hert: but when þe; desyre c&obar;meth, it is a tre of lyfe. Who so despiseth þe; word destroyeth hym selfe: C   but he that feareth the commaundemente shal haue peace. The law is a wel of life vnto the wise, that it may kepe him from the snares of death, Good vnderstanding geueth fauour, but hard is the way of the despisers. A wyse man doth al thinges with dyscrecyon, but a foole wyl declare his folly. An vngodly messanger bryngeth myschyefe, but a faythfull embassytour is wholsome. He that thynketh scorne to be refourmed, commeth to pouertie ∧ shame: but who so receaueth correction, shal come to honour

D   When a desyre, is brought to passe, it delyteth the soule: but fooles abhorre him that eschueth euell. He that goeth in the company of wyse men, shalbe wyse: but who so is a companyon of foles, shalbe hurte. Mischefe foloweth vpon synners, but the ryghtuous shal haue a god reward. Which their chylders chyldren shal haue in possession, for the riches of the synner is layed vp for the iuste. Ther is plentuousnesse of fode in the feldes of the pore, and shalbe increased out of measure. He that spareth the rod, hateth hys son: but who so loueth hym, holdeth hym euer in nurtoure. The ryghtuous eateth, and is satisfied, but the belly of þe; vngodly hath neuer ynough.
