¶ The .xxxii. Chapter.
¶ Of the discrecyon and prayse of the preacher, and of
the hearer. Of the feare, fayth, and confidence in God.
A Yf thou be made a ruler, note pryde not
thy selfe therin, but be thou as one of
þe; people. noteTake diligent care for th&ebar;
and loke wel therto: ∧ when thou hast done
all thy dewtye, syt the downe, that þu; mayest
be mery wyth th&ebar;, and receaue a crowne
of honoure. Talke wysely and honestly, for
wysdome bec&obar;meth the ryght well. Hynder
not musicke. Speake not, where there is no
audyence: note ∧ poure not forth wysdome out
of tyme, at an importunite. Lyke as þe; Carbuncle
stone shyneth that is set in golde, so
doth a songe garnysh the wyne feast: and as
the Smaragde that is set in golde, so is the
swetnes of Musicke by the myrth of wyne.
(Geue eare, and be still, and for thy good behaueour
thou shalt be loued.)
B Thou yonge man, speake that bec&obar;meth
the, and that is profytable, ∧ yet scarse wh&ebar;
thou art twyse asked. Comprehende moche
with fewe wordes. In many thynges be as
one that is ignoraunt, geue eare, and holde
thy tonge withall. Yf thou be amonge men
of hyer auctorite, desyre not to c&obar;pare thy
selfe vnto them: &abar;d when an elder speaketh
make not þu; many wordes therin. Before þe;
thonder goeth lyghteninge, and before nurtoure
and shamefastnesse goeth loue &abar;d fauoure.
Stande vp by tymes and be not the
last: but get the home sone, ∧ there take thy
pastime, ∧ do what thou wylt: so that thou
do no euell, ∧ defye no man, but for all thynges
geue th&abar;ckes, vnto him that hath made
the, and replenished the with his goodes.
C Who so feareth the Lorde, wyll receaue
his doctrine: and they that get them to him
by tymes, shall fynde grace. He that seketh
the lawe, shall be fylled withall: As for him
that is but fayned, he wil be offended ther at
They that feare the Lorde shall fynde the
iudgement, and theyr ryghteousnes shalbe
kindled as a lyght. An vngodly man wyll
not be refourmed, but c&abar; helpe him self with
the example of other in his purpose. A man
of vnderstandynge despyseth no good councell:
but a wylde and proude body hath no
feare. (Ye eu&ebar; when he hath dealt rashly &wt;
another man, but his awne doynges shal be
his rebuke.) My sonne, do nothing without
aduisement, so shal it not repent the after þe;
dede. Go not in the waye wher thou mayest
fal, ner where thou mayest stomble against
the stone. Geue not thy self into a laborious
slyppery waye, and beware of thyne awne
chyldren, (and take hede of them that be of
thyne awne housholde.) In all thy workes
put thy trust in God, fr&obar; thy whole hert, for
that is the kepynge of the commaundementes.
Who so beleueth Gods worde, taketh
hede to the commaundements: aud he that
putteth hys trust in the Lorde, shall wante
nothynge.
