¶ The .xx. Chapter.
A Wyne maketh a m&abar; to be scornefull:
and stronge dryncke causeth a m&abar;
to be vnquyete: who so delyteth
therin, shall neuer be wyse. noteThe
kynge ought to be feared as the roaryng of a
lion: who so prouoketh him vnto anger offendeth
agenst his awne soule. It is a mans honour
to kepe him selfe fr&obar; strife: but they that
haue pleasure in braulynge are fooles euery
one. A slouthfull body wyll not go to plowe
for colde of the wynter: therfore shall he go a
beggyng in sommer, ∧ haue nothynge. Wyse
councell in the herte of man is lyke a water
in the depe of the earth: and a man that hath
vnderstondynge bryngethe it forth. Many
there be that wolde be called good doers: but
where shall one fynde a true faythfull man.
noteWhoso leadeth a godly and an innoc&ebar;t life:
is righteous and happy shall hys chyldr&ebar; be
whom he leaueth behynde him.
B A kyng that
sitteth in the throne of iudgment, and loketh
well about hym, dryueth awaye all euell.
noteWho can saye, my hert is cleane, I am innocent
from synne? To vse two maner of
weyghtes, or two maner of measures, both
these are abhomynable vnto the Lorde.
A childe is knowne by his c&obar;uersacion, whether
his worckes be pure ∧ ryght. The eare
to heare, the eye to se: the Lorde hath made
th&ebar; both. Delyte not thou in slepe, lest thou
come vnto pouertye: but open thyne eyes, þt;
thou mayst haue bred ynough. It is naught
it is naught (sayeth he that byeth any thynge:)
C
but when he c&obar;meth to his awne house,
then he boasteth of hys peny worth. A man
that hath a mouth of vnderstandynge hathe
many precyous stones and costly Iewels.
noteTake hys garment that is suretye for a
straunger: and take a pledge of hym for the
vnknowne m&abar;s sake. Euery man lyketh the
breed that is gotten with disceate: but at the
last hys mouth shalbe fylled with grauell.
Thorowe councell, the thynges that men
deuyse go forwarde: and &wt; discrecion ought
warres to be taken in hande. The crafty disceatfull
bewrayth secret co&ubar;cell: and to him
that custometh flaterynge lyppes ioyne nott
thy selfe. noteWhoso curseth hys father ∧ mother:
his lyght shalbe put out in the myddest
-- --
of darcknes. noteThe heritage that commeth
to hastely at the first, shall not be praysed at
the ende. noteSaye not thou: I wyll rec&obar;pense
euell: but put thy trust in the Lorde, and
he shall defende the. note
D The Lorde abhorreth
two maner of weyghtes, and a false bala&ubar;ce
is an euell thinge. noteThe Lorde ordreth
euery mans goinges: howe maye a m&abar; then
vnderstande hys awne waye? It is a snare
for a m&abar; to deuoure that which is holy: and
after the vowe to turne to thyne awne vse,
the thynge thou hast vowed. noteA wyse king
destroyethe the vngodly, and bryngeth the
whele ouer them. The lanterne of the Lorde
is the breth of m&abar;: and goth thorowe all the
inwarde partes of the body. noteMercye and
faythfulnes preserue the kinge: and with louynge
kyndnes hys seate is holden vp. The
strength of yonge men is theyr worshyppe,
and a gray heed is an honour vnto the aged.
Woundes dryue, awaye euell, ∧ so do strypes
the inwarde partes of the body.
