Chap. XV. note The fruictes of fearing God; 7. which fooles, and liers reape not, but the wise only. 11. God is no way auctor of sinne, 14. but sinners themselues are the auctors, abusing their freewil.

1   He that feareth God, shal doe good thinges, and he that hath note iustice shal apprehend her,

2   and she wil meete him as an honourable mother, and as a wife from virginitie she wil receiue him.

3   She shal fede him with the bread of life and vnderstanding, and geue him the water of wholsome wisdom to drinke: and she shal be made sure in him, and he shal not be bowed:

4   and she shal hold him fast, and he shal not be confounded: and she shal exalt him before his neighbours,

5   and in the middest of the Chutch she shal open his mouth, and shal fil him with the spirite of wisdom and vnderstanding, and shal clothe him with a stole of glorie.

6   Ioy & exultation she shal heape vpon him, & shal make him inherite an euerlasting name.

7   Foolish men shal not apprehend her, & wise men shal meete her, foolish men shal not see her: for she is far from pride and deceite.

8   Lying men shal not be myndful of her: and true men shal be found in her, and shal haue successe, euen to the beholding of God.

9    notePrayse is not comelie in the mouth of a sinner:

10   Because wisdom proceded from God. For prayse shal be with the wisdom of God, & shal abound in a faithful mouth, & the dominator wil giue praise to yt.

11   Say not: note It is by God, that she is absent: for doe not thou the thinges that he hateth.

12   Say not: He hath made me erre: for impious men are not necessarie for him.

13   Our Lord hateth al abomination of errour, and it shal not be amiable to them, that feare him.

14   God from the beginning made man, and left him in the hand of his owne counsel.

15   He added his commandmentes and precepts.

16   If thou wilt keepe the commandment, and keepe acceptable fidelitie for euer, they shal preserue thee.

17   He hath set before thee water and fire: to which thou wilt, stretch forth thine hande.

18   Before man there is life and death, good and euil: what pleaseth him shal be geuen him:

19   Because the wisdom of God is much,

-- --

and he is strong in mighte, seing al men without intermission.

20   The eies of our Lord are towards them that feare him, and he knoweth al the worke of man.

21   He hath commanded no man to do impiously, and he hath geuen no man space to sinne:

22   for he desireth not a multitude of faithlesse and vnprofitable children.
