The VIII. Chapter.
A Stryue not with a mightie man, lest
thou chaunse to fall in to his h&abar;des.
noteMake no varia&ubar;ce &wt; a riche m&abar;, lest
he happen to bringe vp an harde quarell agaynst
þe;. noteFor golde ∧ siluer hath vndone many
a man, yee eu&ebar; þe; hertes of kynges hath it
made to fall. Stryue not &wt; a m&abar; that is full
of wordes, ∧ laye no stickes vpon his fyre. Kepe
no company with the vnlerned, lest he geue
thy kynred an euell reporte. noteDespyse not a
man that turneth himself awaye from synne,
and cast him not in the teth withall: but
rem&ebar;bre þt; we are frayle euerychone. noteThynke
scorne of no m&abar; in his olde age, for we waxe
olde also. Be not glad of the death of thine
enemie, but remembre that we must dye all
the sorte of vs (and fayne wolde we come in
to ioye.) noteDespyse not the sermons of soch elders
as haue vnderstandinge, but acquaunte
thy self &wt; the wyse sentences of them: for of
them thou shalt lerne wy&esset;dome and the doctrine
of vnderstandinge, and how to serue
greate men without complaynte.
B Go not from þe; doctryne of the elders, for
they haue lerned it of their fathers. For of
them thou shalt lerne vnderstandinge, so þt;
thou mayest make answere in þe; tyme of nede.
Kyndle not þe; coales of synners, lest thou
be brent in the fyrie flammes of their synnes
Resist not the face of the blasphemer, that
he laye not wayte for thy mouth. noteLende not
vnto him that is mightier then thyself: Yf
thou lendest him, counte it but lost. Be not
suertie aboue þi; power: yf thou be, then thynke
surely to paye it. Go not to lawe &wt; the iudge,
for he wyl iudge acordinge to his owne
honoure. Trauayle not by the waye &wt; him
þt; is branelesse, lest he do the euell: note for he foloweth
his awne wilfulnes, ∧ so shalt thou
perish thorow his foly.
C noteStryue not with him that is angrie and
cruell, and go not with him in to þe; wyldernes:
for bloude is nothinge in his sight, and
where there is no helpe, he shal murthur þe;.
noteTake no councell at fooles, for they loue nothinge
but the thinges that please themself.
Make no co&ubar;cell before a straunger, for thou
canst not tell what wyll come of it. Op&ebar; not
thine hert vnto euery man, lest he be vnth&abar;full
to the, and put the to reprofe.
