CHAP. XXVII. 1 Obseruations of selfe-loue: 5 of true loue: 11 of care to auoid offences: 23 and of the housholde care.

1   
Boast note not thy selfe of note to morrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth.

2   
Let another man praise thee, and not thine owne mouth; a stranger, and not thine owne lips.

3   
A stone is note heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both.

4   
noteWrath is cruell, and anger is outragious: but who is able to stand before note enuie?

5   
Open rebuke is better then secret loue.

6   
noteFaithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are note deceitfull.

7   
noteThe full soule note loatheth an honie combe: but to the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete.

8   
As a bird that wandreth from her nest: so is a man that wandreth from his place.

9   
Oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart: so doeth the sweetnesse of a mans friend note by heartie counsell.

10   
Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake not; neither goe in to thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for note better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.

11   
noteMy sonne, be wise, and make my

-- --

Know thy flocke. heart glad, that I may answere him that reprocheth me.

12   
noteA prudent man foreseeth the euil, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished.

13   
noteTake his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

14   
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

15   
noteA continuall dropping in a very rainie day, and a contentious woman, are alike.

16   
Whosoeuer hideth her, hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which be wrayeth it selfe.

17   
Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

18   
Whoso keepeth the figtree, shall eate the fruit therof: so he that waiteth on his master, shall be honoured.

19   
As in water face answereth to face: so the heart of man to man.

20   
noteHell and destruction are note neuer full: so the eyes of man are neuer satisfied.

21   
noteAs the fining pot for siluer, and the furnace for gold: so is a man to his praise.

22   
Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnesse depart from him.

23   
Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy flocks, and note looke well to thy herds.

24   
For note riches are not for euer: and doth the crowne endure note to euery generation?

25   
The hay appeareth, and the tender grasse sheweth it selfe, and herbes of the mountaines are gathered.

26   
The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of thy field.

27   
And thou shalt haue goats milke enough for thy food, for the food of thy houshold, and for the note maintenance for thy maidens. 656
