¶ The .xxx. Chapter.
¶ Of the correccion of chyldren. Of the commodytye
of health. Deeth is better then a sorowfull lyfe.
Of hydde wysdome. Of the ioye ∧ sorow of the hert.
A Who so loueth his chylde note holdeth
him styl vnder correccion, that he
maye haue ioye of him afterwarde
and that he grope not after his
neyghbours dores. noteHe þt; teacheth his s&obar;ne
shall haue ioye in him, ∧ nede not to be ashamed
of him am&obar;ge his aquayntaunce. Who
so enfourmeth ∧ teacheth his sonne, greueth
the enemye: and before his frendes he maye
haue ioye of him. Though þe; father dye, yet
is he as though he were not deed: for he hath
left one behynde him that is lyke hym. In
his lyfe he sawe hym and had ioye in hym, ∧
was not sory in his death, nether was he ashamed
before the enemyes. For he left behinde
him an auenger agaynst his enemies,
and a good doer vnto the frendes. For þe; lyfe
of chyldren he shall bynde the wo&ubar;des together,
and his hert is greued at euery crye.
An vntamed horse wyl be harde, ∧ a want&obar;
chylde wylbe wylfull. Yf thou bring vp thy
sonne delycately, he shall make þe; afrayed: ∧
yf thou playe with hym, he shall brynge the
to heuynes. Laugh not wyth hym, lest thou
wepe with him also, and lest thy tethe be set
on edge at the last.
B noteGeue hym no lyberte in his youth, ∧ excuse
not hys foly. Bowe downe hys necke
whyle he is yonge, hyt hym vpon the sydes
while he is yet but a child, lest he waxe stubburne,
and geue no more force of the, and so
shalt thou haue heuines of soule, Teach thy
chylde, and be dilig&ebar;t therin, lest it be to thy
shame. Better is the poore beyng whole &abar;d
stronge, then a man to be ryche, ∧ not to haue
his health: Health and welfare is aboue
al golde, ∧ a whole body aboue all treasure.
There is no ryches aboue a sounde body, &abar;d
no ioye aboue the ioye of the hert. Death is
better then a wretched lyfe, &abar;d eternall rest
better then contynuall sycknes. The good
thinges that are put in a close mouth are like
as wh&ebar; meate is layed vpon the graue.
C What good doth the offerynge vnto an
Idol? noteFor he c&abar; nether eate, tast, ner smel.
Euen so is he that is chased of the Lorde, &abar;d
beareth the rewardes of iniquytie. He seyth
wyth his eyes, ∧ groneth lyke a gelded m&abar;,
that lyeth with a vyrgin ∧ sygheth. noteGeue
not ouer thy mynde into heuynes, and vexe
not thy self in thine awne co&ubar;cel, note The ioye
and chearfulnes of the hert is the life of m&abar;,
and a mannes gladnes is the prolonging of
his dayes. Loue thine awne soule, and comforte
thine hert: as for sorowe and heuynes,
dryue it farre fr&obar; þe;, note for heuynes hath slayne
many a man, &abar;d bryngeth no profit. Zele
&abar;d anger shorten the dayes of the lyfe: carefulnes
and sorowe bring age before þe; tyme.
Unto a mery hert euery thyng hath a good
tast that he eateth.
