The V. Chapter.
A Name me one els, yf thou canst fynde
eny: yee loke aboute the, vpon eny of
the holy men. As for the foolish man
displeasure kylleth him, and anger slayeth þe;
ignoraunt. I haue sene my self, when the foolish
was depe roted, note that his bewty was sod&ebar;ly
destroyed: that his children were without
prosperite or health: that they were slayne
in the dore, and no m&abar; to delyuer them: that
his haruest was eaten vp off the hungrie: note
that the weapened man had spoyled it, and
that the thurstie had droncke vp his riches.
It is not the earth that bryngeth forth trauayle,
nether commeth sorow out of þe; gro&ubar;de:
but it is man, that is borne vnto mysery, like
as the byrde for to fle.
B But now will I speake off the LORDE,
and talke of God: which doth thinges, that
are vnsearcheable, and marueles without n&obar;bre:
note Which geueth rayne vp&obar; the earth, and
poureth water vpon all thinges: which setteth
vp them of lowe degre, and sendeth prosperite,
to those that are in heuynesse: Which
destroyeth the deuyces of the sotyll, so that
they are not able to perfourme the thynges
that they take in h&obar;de: note which compaseth þe;
wyse in their owne craftynesse, and ouertroweth
the councell of the wicked: In so moch
that they runne in to darcknesse by fayre daye,
note and grope aboute them at the noone daye,
like as in the night.
noteAnd so he delyuereth the poore from the
swearde, from their mouth, and from the h&obar;de
of the cruell: that the poore maye haue hope,
∧ that the mouth of the oppressoure maye
be stopped.
C noteBeholde, happie is the man, whom God
punysheth: therfore, despyse not thou þe; chastenynge
of the Allmighty. For though he
make a wounde, he geueth a medicyne agayne:
though he smyte, his honde maketh whole
agayne.
He delyuereth the out of sixe troubles, so
that in the seuenth there can no harme touch
the. In the myddest of honger he saueth þe;
from death: and when it is warre, from the
power of the swearde.
He shall kepe the from the perlous tonge
so that when trouble commeth, thou shalt
not nede to feare. noteIn destruccion and derth
thou shalt be mery, and shalt not be afrayed
for the beastes of the earth: But the castels
in the londe shal be confederate with the, ∧
the beastes of the felde shall geue the peace:
Yee thou shalt se, that thy dwellynge place
shalbe in rest: thou shalt beholde thy substaunce,
and be nomore punyshed for synne.
Thou shalt se also, that thy sede shall encreace,
and that thy posterite shalbe as the grasse
vpon the earth. Thou shalt come to thy
graue in a fayre age, like as þe; corne sheeues
are brought in to the barne in due season.
Lo, this is the matter, as we oure selues haue
proued by experience. Therfore now that
thou hearest it, take better hede to thy selff.
