¶ The .xii. Chapter
¶ Unto whom we ought to do good. Enemyes ought
to be eschued.
A When thou wylt do good, knowe
to whom thou doest it, ∧ so shalt
thou be greatly thanked for thy
benefytes. noteDo good vnto the
righteous, ∧ þu; shalt fynde great
rewarde, though not of hym, yet (no doute)
the Lord him selfe shall rewarde þe;. He standeth
not in a good case that is all waye occupied
in euell, ∧ geueth no almes: for þe; Hyest
hateth the synners, and hath mercy vpon
them that shew the worckes of rep&ebar;taunce.
Geue thou vnto soch as feare God, and receaue
not a synner. As for þe; vngodly ∧ synners,
he shal rec&obar;pense v&ebar;geaunce vnto th&ebar;
∧ kepe th&ebar; to the daye of wrath. Geue thou
vnto the good, ∧ receaue not the synner: do
well vnto him that is lowly, but geue not
to þe; vngodly. Let not þe; bread be geu&ebar; him,
that he be not myghtier th&ebar; thy self therin.
For so shalt þu; receaue twyse as moch euell,
in all þe; good that thou doest vnto him. And
-- --
why? þe; Hyghest hateth sinners, and shal rewarde
vengeaunce to the vngodly.
In prosperite, a fr&ebar;de shall not be knowne
and in aduersite an enemye shall not be hyd.
For wh&ebar; a man is in wealth, it greueth his
enemyes: but in heuynes and trouble a man
shall knowe his frende. Trust neuer thyne
enemy, for lyke as an yron rusteth, so doth
his wickednes.
B And though he make moche
croutching and knelyng, yet kepe well thy
mynde, and beware of him. Set him not by
the, nether let him syt at thy right hand: lest
he turne him, gett into thy place, take thy
rowme and seke thy seate, and so thou at þe;
last remembre my wordes, ∧ be prycked at
my sayinges.
noteBinde not two sinnes together, for there
shall not one be vnpunished. Who will haue
pitie of þe; charmer, that is stynged of the serpent,
or of all soch as come nye the beastes?
Eu&ebar; so is it &wt; him þt; kepeth company with
a wycked man, and lappeth him selfe in his
sinnes.
C For a season wyll he byde wyth the,
but yf thou stomble, he tarieth not. noteAn enemy
is swete in his lippes, he c&abar; make many
wordes ∧ speake many good th&ibar;ges: Yee he
can wepe with hys eyes, but in hys herte he
ymagineth, how to throwe the into þe; pytt:
∧ yf he may fynde oportunite, he will not be
satisfied with bloud. If aduersite come vp&obar;
þe;, thou shalt fynde him there first, ∧ though
he pret&ebar;de to do the help, yet shall he vndermine
the. He shal shake his head, and clappe
his h&abar;des ouer þe; for very gladnes: ∧ whyle
he maketh many wordes, he shall desguyse
his countenaunce.
