¶ The .xviij. Chapter.
A He acc&obar;panieth hym selfe with all
steadfast ∧ helth some doctryne, þt;
hath a feru&ebar;t desyre to it and is sequestrate
from companye. A
foole hath no delyte in vnderstandinge,
but onely in those thinges wherin his
herte reioyseth. When the vngodly commeth,
them c&obar;meth also dysdayne, and with
the dishonest person commeth shame and dishonour.
The wordes of a wyse mans
mouth are lyke depe waters, and the well of
wysdome is lyke a full streame. noteIt is
not good to regarde the personne of the vngodly,
or to put backe the ryghteous in iudgement.
A fooles lyppes are euer brawelynge,
and his mouth prouoketh vnto battayll.
B A fooles mouth is hys awne destruccyon,
and hys lyppes are the snare for hys
awne soule The wordes of a sclaunderer
are very wo&ubar;des, and go thorowe vnto the
ynmost partes of the body. (Feare casteth downe
hym that is slouthfull: and the soules of soch as lyue
in volupteousnes shall honger.) Who so is slouthfull
and slacke in hys laboure, is the brother
of him that is a waster. The name of the
Lord is a stronge castell, þe; ryghteous flyeth
vnto it, and is in saue garde.
C But the ryche
mans goodes are his stronge holde, ye he taketh
th&ebar; for an hye wall ro&ubar;de aboute him.
After pryde commeth destruccy&obar;, and honour
after lowlynes. noteHe þt; geueth sent&ebar;ce
in a matter before he heare it, is a foole, and
worthy to be c&obar;founded. A good stomacke
dryueth awaye a mans disease, but wh&ebar; the
sprete is vexed, who maye byde it? A wyse
herte laboureth for knowledge and a prud&ebar;t
eare seketh vnderstandynge. Lyberalite
bryngeth a m&abar; to honoure and worshyppe,
and setteth him amonge great men.
D The
righteous declareth his awne cause first him
selfe, yf his neyghbour come, he shall finde h&ibar;.
The lott pacifyeth the varia&ubar;ce, ∧ parteth þe;
myghtye a sunder. A brother though he be
greued &wt; off&ebar;ce, yet is he more worth then a
very str&obar;ge castell: and they þt; holde together
are lyke þe; barre of a palace. A m&abar;s bely shalbe
satisfyed &wt; the frute of his awne mouth,
and with the increase of hys lyppes shall he
be fylled. Death and lyfe are in the instrument
of the tonge: and they that loue it, shall
enioye the frute therof. noteWho so fyndeth a
(good) wyfe fyndeth a good thynge, and receaueth
an wholsome benefyte of the Lorde.
(He that putteth awaye a good woman, putteth awaye
a good thynge: but he that kepeth an harlot, is a foole and
vnwyse.) The poore maketh supplicacyon ∧
-- --
praieth mekely: but the riche geueth a rough
answere. A m&abar; that loueth his frendes wyll
be compinable with them: and some frende
sticketh faster to a man then his brother.
