Chap. VI.
note
Kinges and al Magistrates are againe admonished to exercise iustice: 7.
otherwise they shal be more greuously punished. 13. wisdom may easely be
found, 18. by those that sincerely desire it. 22. And is very profitable
(25. excepting the enuious, or il disposed) 26. both to prince and people.
1 VVisedom is better then strength: and a wiseman
then a strong.
2 Heare therfore ye kinges, & vnderstand,
lerne ye iudges of the endes of the earth.
3 Geue eare ye,
that rule multitudes, and that please yourselues in multitudes
of nations:
4 because the note powre is geuen you of our Lord,
and strength by the Highest, who wil examine your workes,
and search your cogitations:
5 because when you were the
ministers of his kingdom, you iudged not rightly, nor kept the
law of iustice, nor haue walked according to the wil of God.
6 Horribly and quickly wil he appeare to you: because most
seuere iudgement shal be done on them, that beare rule.
7 For
to the litle one mercie is granted: but note the mightie shal mightely
suffer torments.
8 For God wil not except any mans person,
neither wil feare the greatnes of any man: because he
made the litle and the great, & he hath equally care of al.
9 But
to the stronger more strong torment is imminent.
10 To you
therfore ô kings are these my wordes, that you may lerne wisdom,
and not fal.
11 For they that haue kept iust thinges iustly,
shal be iustified: and they that haue lerned these thinges, shal
find what they may answer.
12 Couet ye therfore my wordes,
and loue them, and you shal haue discipline.
13 Wisdom is
cleere, and such as neuer fadeth, and is easely sene of them that
loue her, and is found of them that seeke her.
14 She preuenteth
them that couete her, that she first may shew herself vnto
them.
15 He that awaketh early to her, shal not labour: for
he shal find her sitting at her doores.
16 To thinke therfore
of her, is perfect vnderstanding: and he that watcheth for her,
shal quickly be secure.
17 Because she goeth about seeking
them that be worthie of her, and in the wayes she wil shew
her self to them cheerefully, and in al prouidence she wil
meete them.
18 For note the beginning of her is the most true
desire of discipline.
19 The care therfore of discipline, is loue:
-- --
and loue, is the keeping of her lawes: and the keeping of the
lawes, is the consummation of incorruption:
20 and incorruption
maketh to be next to God.
21 Therfore the desire of
wisdom leadeth to the euerlasting kingdom.
22 If therfore
you be delighted with thrones, and with scepters ô ye kinges
of the people, loue wisdom, that you may reigne for euer.
23 Loue the light of wisdom al ye that beare rule ouer peoples.
24 But what wisdom is, and how she was made, I wil declare: and I wil not hide from you the mysteries of God, but from
the beginning of her natiuitie I wil search out, and sette the
knowlege of her into light, and wil not let passe the truth:
25 neither wil I goe with pyning enuie: because such a man
shal not be partaker of wisdom.
26 But the multitude of the
wise is the health of the round world: and a wise king is the
stabilitie of the people.
27 Therfore take ye discipline by my
wordes, and it shal profite you.
