&rhand; The .xxxii. Chapter.
Of the dyscrecyon ∧ prayse of the preacher, ∧
of the herer. Of the feare, faith, ∧ confidence of
God.
A Yf thou be made a ruler, pryde
not thy self therin, but be thou
as one of the people. Take diligente
care for them, and loke
well therto: and wh&ebar; thou hast
done all thy dewty, sitt the downe, that thou
mayest be mery wyth them, and receyue a
crowne of honoure. Talke wisely and honestly,
for wysdome be commeth the right well.
Hynder not musyck. Speake not, wher ther
is no audyence: and poure not forthe wysedome
oute of tyme, at an importunyty. Like
as the Carbuncle stone shyueth that is set in
gold, so doth a song garnysh the wine feast: ∧
as the Smaragde þt; is set in golde, so is the
swetenes of Musycke by the myrthof wyne.
B Thou yong man, speake that becommeth
the, ∧ that is profitable, and yet scarse when
thou art twyce asked. Comprehende muche
with few wordes. In manye thynges be as
one that is ignorante, geue eare, and hold thy
tong withall. If thou be among men of hyer
authority, desyre not to compare thy self vnto
them: and when an elder speaketh, make
not thou manye wordes therein. Before the
thonder goeth lyghtenynge, and before nurtoure
and shamefastnesse goeth loue and fauoure.
Stande vp by tymes, and be not the
last: but get the home sone, and there take thy
pastyme, ∧ do what thou wylte: so that thou
do no euell, and defye no man. But for all
thynges geue thankes, vnto hym that hath
made the, ∧ replenished the with his goodes
C Who so feareth the Lorde, wyll receyue
hi doctryne: and they that gette them to hym
by tymes, shall fynde grace. He that seketh
the lawe, shall be fylled withall: As for hym
þt; is but fayned, he wyll be offended thereat.
They that feare the Lorde, shall fynde the
iudgement, ∧ their rightuousnes shalbe kindled
as a lyghte. An vngodly man wyll not be
refourmed, but can helpe hym self wyth the
example of other in hys purpose. A man of
vnderst&abar;ding despiseth no good co&ubar;cell: but
a wylde and proude body hath no feare. My
sonne, do nothynge without aduysemente, so
shall it not repent the after the dede. Go not
in the way where thou maiest fall, ner wher
thou maiest stumble agaynst þe; stone. Geue
not thy self into a laborious slypperye way,
and beware of thine owne chyldren. In all
thy workes put thy truste in God from thy
whole hert, for that is the kepynge of the c&obar;maudem&ebar;tes.
Who so beleueth Gods word
taketh hede to the commaundements: and
he that putteth hys truste in the Lorde, shall
wante nothing.
