The XII. Chapter.
A Who so loueth wy&esset;dome, wil be content
to be refourmed: but he that hateth
to be reproued, is a foole. noteA
good man is acceptable vnto the LORDE,
but þe; wicked wyl he condempne. A man c&abar;
not endure in vngodlynesse, but þe; rote of þe;
righteous shal not be moued. A stedfast
woman is a crowne vnto hir hu&esset;bonde: but
she that behaueth herself vnhonestly, is a corrupcion
in his bones. The thoughtes of þe;
righteous are right, but the ymaginacion of
the vngodly are disceatfull. The talkynge
of the vngodly is, how they maye laye wayte
for bloude, but the mouth of þe; righteous
wil delyuer them. Or euer thou canst turne
the aboute, the vngodly shal be ouerthrowne,
but the house of the righteous shal st&obar;de. note
B A man shalbe commended for his wy&esset;dome,
but a foole shal be despysed. A simple
man which laboureth and worketh, is better
th&ebar; one that is gorgious and wanteth bred. note
A righteous man regardeth the life of his
catell, but the vngodly haue cruell hertes.
noteHe that tilleth his l&obar;de, shal haue plenteousnesse
of bred: but he þt; foloweth ydylnes, is
a very foole. The desyre of þe; vngodly hunteth
after myschefe, but the rote of the righteous
bryngeth forth frute. noteThe wicked falleth
in to the snare thorow þe; malyce of his
owne mouth, but the iust shal escape out of
parell. Euery man shal enioye good acordinge
to the innocency of his mouth, and after
the workes of his h&abar;des shal he be rewarded.
C Loke what a foole taketh in honde,
he thinketh it well done: but he that is wyse,
wyl be co&ubar;celed. A foole vttereth his wrath
in all the haist, but a discrete man forgeueth
wronge. A iust man will tell the trueth, ∧
shewethe thinge þt; is right: but a false wytnesse
disceaueth. A slaunderous personne
pricketh like a swerde, but a wyse mans tonge
is wholsome. A true mouth is euer const&abar;t,
but a dyssemblinge t&obar;ge is soone chaunged.
They that ymagin euell in their mynde,
wil disceaue: but the councelers of peace
shal heaue ioye folowinge th&ebar;. There shal
no mysfortune happen vnto the iust, but the
vngodly shal be fylled with misery. note
D The
LORDE abhorreth disceatfull lippes, but
they that laboure for treuth, please him. He
that hath vnderst&obar;dinge, can hyde his wysdome:
but an vndiscrete herte telleth out his
foolishnesse. A dilig&ebar;t hande shal beare rule,
but the ydle shal be vnder tribute. Heuynesse
discorageth þe; herte of man, note but a good
worde maketh it glad agayne. The righteous
is liberall vnto his neghboure, but the
waye of the vngodly wil disceaue them selues.
A disceatfull man shal fynde no va&ubar;tage,
but he that is content &wt; that he hath,
is more worth th&ebar; golde. noteIn the waye of
righteousnesse there is life, as for eny other
waye, it is the path vnto death.
