¶ The .xvj. Chapter.
A A Man maye well &rhand; purpose a
thynge in hys herte, but the answere
of the tonge commeth of
the Lorde. noteA man thynketh
all hys wayes to be cleane, but
it is the Lorde that iudgeth the myndes.
noteCommytte thy worckes vnto the Lorde
and loke what thou deuysest, it shall prospere.
The Lorde doth all thynges for hys
awne sake, yee and when he kepeth the vngodly
for the daye of wrath. The Lorde
abhorreth all such as be of a proude herte,
his h&abar;de is against ther hande and they shall
not escape as innoc&ebar;tes. The begynninge of
a good lyfe is to do ryghtwysness for that is more accepted
vnto God, then to offre by sacrifyces.) With louinge
mercy ∧ faythfulnesse, synnes be forgeuen, ∧
who so feareth þe; Lord eschueth euell.
B Wh&ebar;
a mans wayes please the Lorde, he maketh
his very enemyes to be his frendes. Better
is it to haue a lytle thynge with ryghteousnes,
then greate rentes, wr&obar;geously gotten.
noteA man deuiseth awaye in his herte,
but it is þe; Lorde that ordreth hys goynges.
&rhand; When the prophecy is in the lyppes
of the kynge, his mouth shall not go wronge
in iudgm&ebar;t. noteA trewe measure ∧ a trewe
balaunce are the Lordes iudgment, he maketh
all weyghtes. It is a greate abhominacyon
when kynges are wycked, for a kynges
seate shulde be holden vp with ryghteousnesse.
Ryghteous lyppes are pleasa&ubar;t
vnto kynges: and he that speaketh the trueth
shalbe beloued. The kynges displeasure is
a messaunger of death, but a wyse man will
pacifye him. The cherefull countenaunce
of the kynge is lyfe, and his louynge fauoure
is as the euenynge dewe. noteTo haue wysdome
in possessyon is better then to haue golde:
and to get vnderstandynge, is rather to
be chosen them to haue syluer. The path of þe;
ryghteous is to eschue euell: ∧ who so loketh
well to his wayes, kepeth his awne soule.
Presumtpteousnes goeth before destruccyon,
and after a proude stomake there foloweth
a fall. Better is it to be of humble
mynde with the lowly, then to deuyde the
spoyles with the proude. He that handleth
a matter wysely, opteyneth good: ∧ note blessed
is he, that putteth hys trust in the Lorde.
Who so hath a wyse vnderstandynge,
shalbe called to councell: and he þt; can speake
fayre, shall haue the more lernynge.
C Understandinge
is a well of lyfe vnto him that
hath it: as for the chastenynge of fooles, it is
but foolyshnesse. A wyse hart ordreth hys
mouth wysely, and am&ebar;deth the doctryne in
his lyppes. Fayre wordes are an hony c&obar;be,
a refreshynge of the mynde, ∧ health of þe;
bones. noteThere is awaye that m&ebar; thyncke
to be ryght, but the ende therof leadeth vnto
death. A troublous soule disquyeteth her
selfe, for her awne mouth hath brought her
therto. An vngodly personne stereth vp
euell, and in his lippes he is as an whote burnynge
fyre. A frowarde body causeth stryfe,
and he that is a blabbe of hys tonge, maketh
deuisyon amonge prynces. A wycked
man begyleth hys neyghbour, and leadeth
him in to the waye that is not good.
D The vngodly þt; loketh gastely &wt; hys eyes
ymagineth myschefe, ∧ wh&ebar; he moueth his lyppes,
he wyll do some harme. Age is a crowne
of worshype, yf it be fo&ubar;de in the waye
of ryghteousnes. A pacient man is better
then one str&obar;ge: and he that can rule him selfe,
is more worth then he that wynneth a cytye.
The lottes are cast in to the lappe, but
the ordrynge ther of standeth all in þe; Lorde.
