The III. Chapter.
A noteMy sonne, forget not my lawe, but se
þt; thine hert kepe my c&obar;maundem&ebar;tes.
For they shal prol&obar;ge þe; dayes
∧ yeares of þi; lyfe, ∧ brynge þe; peace. Let mercy
∧ faithfulnes neuer go from þe;: bynde th&ebar;
about þi; necke, ∧ wryte them in the tables of
thine herte. So shalt thou fynde fauo&highr; and
good vnderstondinge in þe; sight of God and
men. Put thy trust in þe; LORDE with all
thine herte, and leane not vnto thine owne
vnderstondinge. In all thy wayes haue
respecte vnto him, and he shal ordre thy
goinges. noteBe not wyse in thine owne conceate,
but feare þe; LORDE and departe from
euell: so shal thy nauel be whole, and thy bones
stronge.
B noteHonoure the LORDE &wt; þi; substaunce, ∧ &wt;
þe; firstlinges of all thine encrease: so shal thy
barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse, and
thy presses shal flowe ouer with swete wyne.
My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge
of þe; LORDE, nether faynte when thou art
rebuked of him. For wh&obar; the LORDE loueth,
him he chasteneth: and yet delyteth in him
euen as a father in his owne sonne. Well is
him that fyndeth wy&esset;dome, ∧ opteyneth vnderstondinge,
for the gettinge of it is better
then eny marchaundise of syluer, ∧ the profit
of it is better then golde. noteWy&esset;dome is more
worth th&ebar; precious stones, ∧ all þe; thinges þt;
thou canst desyre, are not to be compared vnto
her. Vpon hir right hande is longe life,
∧ vpon hir left hande is riches ∧ hono&highr;.
noteHir wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all
hir pathes are peaceable. She is a tre of life
to them that laye holde vpon her, and blessed
are they that kepe her fast.
C With wy&esset;dome hath þe; LORDE layed the
fo&ubar;dacion of þe; earth, ∧ thorow vnderstondinge
hath he stablished þe; heau&ebar;s. Thorow
his wi&esset;dome þe; depthes breake vp, ∧ þe; cloudes
droppe downe the dew. My sonne, let
not these thinges departe from thyne eyes,
but kepe my lawe and my councell: so shal it
be life vnto thy soule, ∧ grace vnto þi; mouth.
Then shalt thou walke safely in þi; waye, ∧
thy fote shal not stomble. Yf thou slepest,
thou shalt not be afrayed, but shalt take thy
rest ∧ slepe swetely. noteThou neddest not to be
afrayed of eny sodane feare, nether for the
violent russhinge in of the vngodly, when it
commeth.
For the LORDE shal be besyde the, ∧ kepe
thy fote þt; thou be not taken. Refuse not
to do good vnto him that shulde haue it, so
longe as thine hande is able to do it.
D Saye
not vnto thy neghboure: go thy waye ∧ come
agayne, tomorow wil I geue the: where
as thou hast now to geue him. Intende
no hurte vnto thy neghboure, seynge he hopeth
to dwell in rest by the. Stryue not
lightly &wt; eny man, where as he hath done þe;
no harme. noteFolowe not a wicked man, and
chose none of his wayes: for the LORDE abhorreth
the frowarde, but his secrete is amonge
the righteous. The curse of the
LORDE is in the house of the vngodly, but
he blesseth the dwellinges of the righteous
As for the scornefull, he shal laugh th&ebar;
to scorne, but he shal geue grace vnto the
lowly. The wyse shal haue hono&highr; in possession,
but shame is the promoci&obar; that fooles
shal haue.
