¶ The .viii. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst thy better is no stryuyng. Of the deeth of thyne
enemye mayste þu; not reioyce, ner despyse thy neyghbours,
ner the wordes of the wyse.
A Stryue not wyth a myghtye man,
lest thou chaunse to fall into hys
h&abar;des. noteMake no variaunce with
a rich m&abar;, lest he happen to bringe
vp an harde quarell agaynst þe;. noteFor golde
and siluer hath vndone many a m&abar;, yee eu&ebar;
the hertes of Kynges hath it made to fall.
Stryue not with a man that is full of wordes,
and laye no styckes vpon his fyre. Kepe
no company with the vnlerned, lest he geue
thy kinred an euell reporte. noteDespyse not a
man that turneth him self awaye from synne,
and cast him not in the teeth withall, but
remembre that we are frayle euerychone.
noteThyncke scorne of no m&abar; in his olde age,
for we waxe olde also. Be not glad of the
death of thyne enemye, but remembre þt; we
must dye all the forte of vs (and fayne wold
we come into ioye.) noteDespise not þe; serm&obar;s
of soch elders as haue vnderstandynge, but
acquaynte thy selfe with the wyse sent&ebar;ces
of them: for of them thou shalt lerne wysdome
and the doctrine of vnderstandynge, and
how to serue greate m&ebar; without c&obar;plainte.
B Go not from the doctryne of the elders,
for they haue lerned it of their fathers. For
of them thou shalt lerne vnderstandinge, so
that thou mayest make answere in the time
of nede. Kyndle not the coales of synners,
(whan thou rebukest them) lest thou be br&ebar;t
in the fyrie flammes of their sinnes. Resyst
not the face of the blasphemer, that he laye
not wayte for thy mouth. noteLende not vnto
him that is myghtier then thy selfe: If thou
lendest him, co&ubar;te it but lost. Be not suerty
aboue thy power: yf thou be, then thyncke
surely to paye it. Go not to lawe with the
iudge: for he wyll iudge accordynge to hys
awne honoure. noteTrauaylle not by þe; waye
with hym that his braynelesse, lest he do the
euell: for he foloweth his awne wylfulnes,
and so shalt thou perish thorow his foly.
C noteStryue not with hym þt; is angrie and
cruell, and go not with him into the wildernes:
for bloude is nothinge in his syght, and
where there is no helpe, he shal murther the
note Take no co&ubar;cel at fooles, for they loue nothinge
but the thinges that please them selues.
Make no councel before a stranger for
thou c&abar;st not tell what will come of it. Op&ebar;
not thyne hert vnto euery man, lest he be vnthanckfull
to the, and put the to reprofe.
