CHAP. XVII.

1   
Better note is a drie morsell, and quietnesse therewith; then an house full of note sacrifices with strife.

2   
A wise seruant shall haue rule ouer a son that causeth shame: and shall haue part of the inheritance among the brethren.

-- --

To hide sinnes.

3   
noteThe fining pot is for siluer, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

4   
A wicked doer giueth heed to false lips: and a liar giueth eare to a naughtie tongue.

5   
noteWhoso mocketh the poore, reproacheth his maker: and he that is glad at calamities, shall not be note vnpunished.

6   
noteChildrens children are the crowne of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.

7   
noteExcellent speech becommeth not a foole: much lesse doe note lying lippes a prince.

8   
noteA gift is as a note precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoeuer it turneth, it prospereth.

9   
noteHe that couereth a transgression, note seeketh loue; but he that repeateth a matter, separateth very friends.

10   
noteA reproofe entreth more into a wise man, then an hundred stripes into a foole.

11   
An euill man seeketh onely rebellion; therefore a cruell messenger shall be sent against him.

12   
Let a beare robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather then a foole in his folly.

13   
Whoso note rewardeth euill for good, euill shall not depart from his house.

14   
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therfore leaue off contention, before it be medled with.

15   
noteHe that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust: euen they both are abomination to the Lord.

16   
Wherfore is there a price in the hand of a foole to get wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it?

17   
noteA friend loueth at all times, and a brother is borne for aduersitie.

18   
noteA man void of note vnderstanding striketh hands, and becommeth suretie in the presence of his friend.

19   
He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction.

20   
noteHe that hath a froward heart, findeth no good, and he that hath a peruerse tongue, falleth into mischiefe.

21   
noteHe that begetteth a foole, doth it to his sorrow: and the father of a foole hath no ioy.

22   
noteA merrie heart doth good note like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23   
A wicked man taketh a gift out Of tale-bearers. of the bosome, to peruert the wayes of iudgement.

24   
noteWisedome is before him that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of a foole are in the ends of the earth.

25   
noteA foolish sonne is a griefe to his father, ∧ bitternes to her that bare him.

26   
Also to punish the iust is not good, nor to strike princes for equitie.

27   
noteHe that hath knowledge, spareth his words: and a man of vnderstanding is of note an excellent spirit.

28   
noteEuen a foole, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips, is esteemed a man of vnderstanding. 646
