CAP. XV.
1 Who dredeth God, shal do goode
thingus; and who withholding is of ri&yogh;twisnesse,
shal taken it.
2 And it shal meete
to hym as a moder wrshipid, and as a
womman fro maidynhed it shal vndirtake
hym.
3 It shal feede hym with the
bred of lif, and of vnderstonding; and
with the water of holsum wisdam it shal
&yogh;yue drinke to hym; and it shal be fastned
in hym, and not ben bowed.
4 And it
shal withholden hym, and he shal not be
confoundid; and it shal enhaunce hym
-- --
anent his ne&yogh;hebores.
5 And in the myddel
of the chirche it shal opene his mouth,
and shal fulfille hym with spirit of wisdam,
and of vnderstonding; and with
stoele of glorie it shall clothin hym.
6 Myrthe and ful out io&yogh;ing it shal tresoren
vp on hym; and in euerlastende
name it shal eritagen hym.
7 Men foolis
shul not take it, and men wel feelende
shul meete to it. Men foolis shul not
seen it; ferr forsothe it is, ferre awei fro
pride, and fro treccherie.
8 Men lieres shul

ben founden in it; and welsum aftir comyng
thei shul han vnto the looking in
of God.
9 Feir preising is not in the
mouth of the synnere, for he is not sent
of the Lord.
10 For gon forth is wisdam
of God; forsothe to the wisdam of God
preising shal stonden at, and in the
feithful mouth shal abounde, and the
lordshipere shal &yogh;yuen it to hym.
11 Thou
shalt not seyn, Bi God it is awey; tho
thingis forsothe that it hateth, thou shalt
not do.
12 Ne sey thou, He me disceyuede;
forsothe vnpitous men ben not nedeful
to hym.
13 The Lord hateth al cursing
of errour, and it shal not ben looueful to
men dredende hym.
14 God fro the bygynnyng
ordeynede man, and lafte hym in
the hond of his counseil.
15 He leide to
maundemens, and his hestes;
16 if thou
wilt the maundemens kepen, thei shul
kepe thee, and to kepen plesid feith in to
withoute ende.
17 He putte to thee watir
and fyr; to what thou wilt, put forth
thin hond.
18 Bifor man is lif and deth,
good and euel; that plesith to hym, shal
`be &yogh;oue to hym.
19 For myche is the
wisdam of God, and strong in my&yogh;t, and
seende alle men withoute cesing.
20 The
e&yogh;en of the Lord to the dredende hym;
and he knowith al the besynesse of man.
21 To no man he comaundide vnpitously to
do; and to no man he &yogh;af space of synnyng.
-- --
22 Forsothe he coueiteth not the
multitude of vnfeithful sonus and vnprofitable.
