¶ The .xiii. Chapter.

A   A Wyse sonne wyll herken to hys fathers warnynge, but he that is scornefull, will not heare wh&ebar; he is reproued. A good man shall enioye þe; frute of his mouth but he that hath a frowarde mynde, shalbe spoyled. He that kepeth hys mouth kepeth hys lyfe: but who so openeth hys lyppes to euell, destroyeth hym selfe. The slogarde wolde fayne haue, ∧ cannot get hys desyre: but the soule of the diligent shall haue pl&ebar;ty.

A ryghteous man abhorreth lyes, but the vngodly shameth both other and hym selfe. Ryghteousnesse kepeth the innocent in the waye, but vngodlynesse doth ouerthrowe the synner. noteSome men are ryche, though they haue nothynge, agayne some men are poore, hauing greate ryches. With goodes euery man delyuereth his lyfe, and the poore wyll not be reproued:The lyght of the ryghteous maketh ioyfull, but note the candle of the vngodly shalbe put out. B   Amonge the proude there is euer stryfe, but amonge those that do all thynges with aduisement, there is wysdome. Uaynlye gotten goddes are soone spent: but they that be gathered to gether with the hande, shall increace. Longe taryenge for a thynge that is differred, greueth the herte: but wh&ebar; the desyre commeth: it is a tree of lyfe. &rhand; Whoso despyseth anye thinge, shalbe hurt for the same: but he þt; feareth the commaundement, shall haue the rewarde. (A disceatfull sonne shall haue no good: but a discrete seruaunt shall do full well, and hys waye shall prospere.) The lawe is a well of lyfe vnto þe; wyse, that it maye kepe hym from the snares of death: Good vnderstandinge geueth fauour, but harde is þe; waye of the despysers. A wyse man doth all thynges with discrecion, but a foole wyll declare hys foly. An vngodly messa&ubar;ger falleth into myschefe, but a faythfull ambassadour is wholsome. He þt; thinketh scorne to be refourmed, commeth to pouerte ∧ sname: but whoso regardeth correcci&obar; shall come to honoure. D   When a desyre is brought to passe, it delyteth þe; soule: but fooles counte it abhominacyon to departe from euell. He that goeth in the c&obar;pany of wyse men, shalbe wyse: but whoso is a company&obar; of fooles, shalbe hurte. Myschefe foloweth vpon synners, but the ryghteous shall haue a good rewarde. He that is vertuous, leaueth an enheritaunce vnto hys chylders children note and þe; ryches of the synner is layed vp for the iust. There is plenteousnesse of fode in the feldes of the poore, but þe; felde not well ordred is without frute. noteHe þt; spareth the &rhand; rodde, hateth hys sonne: but whoso loueth hym, chastiseth hym by tymes.

noteThe ryghteous eateth, and is satisfyed, but þe; bely of þe; vngodly hath neuer ynough,
