¶ The .xvij. Chapter.
-- --
A Better is a drye morsell wyth quyetnesse,
then a house full of fatt offringe
with stryfe. noteA discrete seruaunt
shall haue more rule th&ebar; the sonnes þt; haue no
wysdome, and shall haue lyke heritage with
the brethren. noteLyke as syluer is tryed in þe;
fyre, and golde in the fornace, eu&ebar; so doth the
Lorde proue the hertes. A wycked body
gyueth audi&ebar;ce to false lyppes, ∧ a frowarde
personne geueth eare to a disceatfull tonge.
Who so laugheth the poore to scorne, blasphemeth
his maker: and he þt; is glad of another
mans hurte, shall not be vnpunyshed. note
Chylders chyldren are a worshyppe vnto
the elders, and the fathers are the honoure of
the chyldren.
B Speach of auctorytie bec&obar;meth
not a foole, moche lesse a lyinge mouth then
besemeth a prince. A rewarde is as a precious
stone vnto him þt; hath it: but vnto wh&obar;soeuer
it turneth it maketh him vnwise.
Who so couereth another m&abar;s offence, seketh
loue: but he þt; discloseth the faute, setteth
þe; prynce agaynst him selfe. One reprofe onely
doth more good to hym that hath vnderstandynge,
then an .C. strypes vnto a foole.
noteA sedycious personne seketh myschefe,
∧ therfore is a cruell messa&ubar;ger sent agaynst
him. It were better to come agaynst a she
Beare robbed of her whelpes, then agaynst
a foole (trustynge) in his foolishnes. noteWho
so rewardeth euell for good, the plage shall
not departe from his house. The beginninge
of stryfe is as when a man maketh an Issue
for water, therfore or the metynge be leaue
of c&obar;tencyon. The Lorde hateth as well him
that iustifieth the vngodly, as him that condempneth
the innocent.
C What helpeth it
to geue a foole treasure in hys hande, where
as he hath no mynde to bye wysdome?
(who so buyldeth his house to hye, seketh destruccyon:
and he that refuseth to lerne, shall fall into myschefe.) He
is a fr&ebar;de that all waye loueth, and in aduersyte
a man shall knowe who is hys brother. note
noteWho so promyseth by the hande, and is
suertye for his neyghboure, he is a foole.
He that delyteth in synne loueth stryfe:
and who so setteth his dore to hye, seketh after
a fall.
D Who so hath a frowarde herte,
opteyneth no good: and he þt; hath an ouerthwarte
tonge, shall fall into myschefe. He
that begettith a fole begettith his sorowe, ∧
þe; father of a foole can haue no ioye. noteA mery
herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull
mynde dryeth vp þe; bones. The vngodly
taketh gyftes out of the bosome, to wreste þe;
wayes of iudgement. noteWysdome shyneth
in the face of him that hath vnderstandynge,
but the eyes of fooles wandre thorowe out
all landes. noteAn vndiscrete sonne is a grefe
vnto hys father, and an heuynesse vnto hys
mother. To punyshe the innocent, and to
smite the prynces that geue true iudgement,
are both euell. noteA wyse man, vseth fewe
wordes, and he is a man of vnderstandynge,
that maketh moch of hys sprete. noteYee a
very foole (when he holdeth hys tonge) is
counted wyse, and to haue vnderstandynge,
when he shutteth hys lyppes.
