¶ The .xj. Chapter.
A noteA False bala&ubar;ce is an abhomynacy&obar;
vnto þe; Lorde, but a true
weight pleaseth him. Where
pryde is, there is shame also and
confusyon: but where as is lowlynes,
there is wysdome. The innocent
dealynge of the iust shall leade them, but the
wyckednes of such as dissemble, shalbe their
awne destruccyon. noteRiches helpe not in
the daye of vengeaunce, but ryghteousnesse
delyuereth fr&obar; death. The ryghteousnes
of the innoc&ebar;t ordreth his waye, but the vngodly
shall fall in his awne wyckednesse.
The ryghteousnesse of the iust shall delyuer
th&ebar;, but the wycked shalbe taken in theyr
awne vngodlynesse. note
B When an vngodly
man dyeth, his hope is gone, the confydence
of riches shall perishe. The ryghteous shalbe
delyuered out of trouble, and the vngodly
shall come in his steade. Thorowe þe; mouth
of þe; dissembler is his neyghboure destroyed,
but thorowe knowledge shall the iust he delyuered.
noteWhen it goeth well with the
ryghteous, the cytie is mery: and when þe; vngodly
peryshe, there is gladnesse. When
the iust are in wealth, the cytye prospereth:
but when the vngodly haue the rule, it decayeth.
A foole bringeth vp a sela&ubar;der of his
neyghbour, but a wyse man wyll kepe it secrete.
noteA dyssemblynge person wyll discouer
preuy thynges, but he that is of a faythfull
herte, wyll kepe councell. note
C Where
no good councell is, there the people decaye:
but where as many are that can geue councell,
there is wealth, noteHe that is suertye
for a stra&ubar;ger, hurteth him selfe: and he that
medleth not &wt; suertieshyppe, is sure. A gracious
woman maynteyneth honestye, as for
the wycked, they maynteyne ryches. noteHe
that is mercyfull doth hym selfe a benefyte,
but who so hurteth his neyghbour, is a tyraunt.
The labour of the vngodly prospereth
not, but he that soweth ryghteousnes,
shall receaue a sure rewarde. Lyke as ryghteousnes
bryngeth lyfe: euen so to cleue vnto
euell, bryngeth death. The Lorde abhorreth
th&ebar; that be of a fayned hert, but he hath pleasure
in them that are of an vndefyled conuersacyon.
The wycked amendeth not for
plage vpon plage, but the sede of the ryghteous
shalbe preserued. A fayre woman
without discrete maners, is lyke a rynge of
gold in a swynes snoute. The desyre of the
ryghteous is acceptable, but the hope of the
vngodly is indignacyon. noteSome m&abar; geueth
out his goodes, and is the rycher, but
the nygard (hauynge ynough) wyll departe
D
from nothynge, and yet is euer in pouertye.
noteHe that is liberall in geuynge, shall haue
pl&ebar;ty, and he that watereth, shall be watered
also him selfe. note Who so hoordeth vp
his corne, shalbe cursed amonge the people:
but blessynge shall lyght vpon his head that
geueth foode. He that laboureth for honesty,
fyndeth his desyre: but who so seketh
after myschefe, it shall happen vnto hym.
He that trusteth in his ryches, shall haue
a fall, but note the ryghteous shall floryshe as
the grene leafe. Who so maketh disquyetnes
in his awne house, he shall haue wynde for
his heritage, and the foole shalbe seruaunt to
the wyse. The frute of the ryghteous is a
tree of lyfe: and he that endeuoureth him selfe
to wynne mens soules is wyse. noteIf þe; ryghteous
be rec&obar;pensed vpon earth, howe moch
more then the vngodly and the synner?
