The first Chapter.
A noteO set youre affeccion vp&obar; wy&esset;dome,
ye that be iudges of the
earth. Haue a good opinion of
the LORDE, ∧ seke him in the
synglenesse of hert. noteFor he will
be fo&ubar;de of them that tempte him not, and
appeareth vnto soch as put their trust in
him. As for frowarde thoughtes, they separate
from God, but vertue (yf it be alowed)
refourmeth þe; vnwyse. And why? wy&esset;dome
shall not entre in to a frowarde soule, ner
dwell in the body that is subdued vnto synne.
For the holy goost abhorreth fayned nurtoure,
∧ withdraweth himself fr&obar; þe; thoughtes
that are without vnderstondinge: ∧ where
wickednes hath the vpper h&abar;de, he flieth
from thence. noteFor the sprete of wy&esset;dome is
louynge, gentle and gracious, and wil haue
no pleasure in him that speaketh euell with
his lippes. For God is a witnesse of his reynes,
a true searcher out of his hert, and an
hearer of his tonge. noteFor the sprete of þe; LORDE
fylleth the rounde compasse of the worlde,
and þe; same that vpholdeth all thinges,
hath knowlege also of the voyce.
B noteTherfore he that speaketh vnrighteous
thinges, can not be hydd, nether maye he escape
the iudgm&ebar;t of reprofe. And why? inquysicion
shal be made for the thoughtes of
the vngodly, and the reporte of his wordes
shal come vnto God, so that his wickednes
shalbe punished. For the eare of gelousy heareth
all thinges, and the noyse of the grudginges
shal not be hydd. Therfore bewarre
of murmuringe, which is nothinge worth,
and refrayne youre tonge from sla&ubar;der. noteFor
there is no worde so darck and secrete, that
it shall go for naught: and the mouth that
speaketh lyes, slayeth the soule.
C noteO seke not youre owne death in þe; erroure
of youre life, destroye not youre selues thorow
the workes of youre awne handes. For
God hath not made death, nether hath he
pleasure in the destruccion of the lyuynge.
-- --
For he created all thinges, that they might
haue their beynge: yee all the people of the
earth hath he made that they shulde haue
health, that there shulde be no destruccion
in them, and that the kyngdome of hell shulde
not be vpon earth (for righteousnesse is euerlastinge
and immortall, but vnrighteousnes
bringeth death.) Neuerthelesse, the vngodly
call her vnto them both &wt; wordes ∧
workes, ∧ whyle they thinke to haue a frende
of her, they come to naught: for the vngodly
that are confederate with her and take
hir parte, are worthy of death.
