The XV. Chapter.
A He that feareth God, wil do good: and
who so kepeth the lawe, shal optayne
wy&esset;dome. As an honorable mother
shal she mete him, and as a vyrgin shall she
receaue him. noteWith þe; bred of life and vnderstandinge
shall she fede him, and geue him
the water of wholsome wy&esset;dome to drynke.
Yf he be constant in her, he shall not be moued:
and yf he holde him fast by her, he shal
not come to c&obar;fucion. She shall brynge him
to honoure amonge his neghbours, and in
the myddest of the congregacion shall she
open his mouth. With the sprete of wy&esset;dome
and vnderst&abar;dinge shal she fyll him, and
clothe him with the garment of glory. She
shal heape the treasure of myrth ∧ ioye vp&obar;
him, and geue him an euerlastinge name to
heretage. Foolish men wyll not take holde
vpon her, but soch as haue vnderstandinge,
wil mete her, for she is farre from pryde and
disceate. Men that go aboute with lyes, wil
not remembre her: (but men of trueth shall
be founde in her, euen vnto the beholdinge
of God.) Prayse is not semely in the mouth
of þe; vngodly, for he is not sent of þe; LORDE.
-- --
For of God commeth wy&esset;dome, ∧ the prayse
shall stonde by the wy&esset;dome of God, and
shal be plenteous in a faithfull mouth, and
the LORDE shal geue her vnto him.
B Saye not thou: It is the LORDES faute
that I am gone by, for thou shalt not do þe;
thinge that God hateth. Saye not thou: he
hath caused me to go wronge, for he hath no
nede of the vngodly. God hateth all abhominacion
of erroure, ∧ they that feare God
wyl loue no soch. noteGod made man from the
begynnynge, ∧ left him in the hande of his
councell. He gaue him his commaundementes
and preceptes: yf thou wilt obserue the
commaundementes, ∧ kepe acceptable faithfulnes
for euer, they shal preserue þe;. noteHe hath
set water and fyre before the, reach out thine
hande vnto which thou wilt. Before man is
life and death, good and euell: loke what him
liketh, shalbe geuen him. For the wy&esset;dome
of God is greate and mightie in power, and
beholdeth all men contynually. noteThe eyes of
the LORDE are vpon them that feare him,
and he knoweth all the workes of man. He
hath comma&ubar;ded no man to do vngodly, nether
hath he geuen eny man leue to synne.
