¶ Tobias thynckyng to dye geueth a godly
exhortacyon and monycyon to hys sonne.
-- --
A So when Tobias thought his prayer
to be herde, that he myght dye,
he called vnto hym his sonne Tobias
and sayde vnto him: My sonne,
heare the wordes of my mouth, and laye
them in thyne herte as a foundacion. When
God taketh awaye my soule, burye þu; my
body, ∧ holde thy mother in honoure all the
dayes of her lyfe. For þu; oughtest to remembre,
what and how greate parels she suffred
for þe; in her wombe. And when she also hath
fulfylled þe; tyme of her lyfe, bury her besyde
me. Haue God in thy thought all the dayes
of thy lyfe, ∧ beware, lest at eny tyme thou
consent vnto synne, ∧ lest þu; lett slyppe the
c&obar;maundementes of the Lord oure God.
Geue allmes of thy goodes, ∧ turne neuer
thy face from the poore: and so shall it come
to passe, that the face of the Lorde shall not
be turned awaye fr&obar; the. Be mercyfull after
thy power. If thou hast moch, geue plenteously:
yf thou hast lytle, do thy diligence,
gladly to geue of þt; lytle.
B For so gatherest
thou thy selfe a good rewarde in the daye of
necessite. For mercy delyuereth fr&obar; all synne
and from death, and suffreth not the soule
to come in darckenes. A greate conforte
is mercy before the hye God, vnto all them
that shew it.
My sonne, kepe the well from all whordome,
and (besyde thy wyfe) se that no faute
be knowne of the. Let neuer pryde haue
rule in thy mynde ner in thy worde, for in
pryde beganne all destruccyon.
Whosoeuer worketh eny thynge for the,
immediatly geue hym his hyre, ∧ loke that
thy hyred seruauntes wagies remayne not
by the ouer nyght. Loke that thou neuer do
vnto another man, the thynge þt; thou woldest
not another man shulde do vnto þe;. Eate
thy bred with the hongrie and poore, and
couer the naked with thy clothes. Set thy
bred and wyne vpon þe; buriall of the ryghteous,
C
and do not thou eate ∧ dryncke therof
with the synners. Aske euer councell at
the wyse.
Be allwaye thanckfull vnto God, and
beseche hym, that he wyll ordre thy wayes,
and that what soeuer thou deuysest or takest
in h&abar;de, it maye remayne in him. I certyfye
the also my sonne, that (when þu; wast
yet, but a babe) I delyuered ten tal&ebar;tes of
syluer vnto Gabelus, at Rages a cytie of þe;
Medes, ∧ his hand wrytinge haue I by me.
And therfore seke some meanes, how thou
mayest come by hym, and receaue of hym
the sayde weyght of syluer, ∧ geue hym his
hand wrytynge agayne.
My sonne, be not afrayed: trueth it is, we
leade here a poore lyfe: but greate good
shall we haue, yf we feare God, and departe
from all synne, and do well.
