Chap. XVIII.
note
Gods wonderful workes excede mans capacitie. 7. Our weaknes is streingthened
by grace. 15. wherto man must cooperate, 19. by purging his
conscience, 22. by prayer, 24. by meditating Gods iudgements, 30. and
by mortifying his owne concupiscence.
1 He that liueth for euer, created al thinges note together. God
onlie shal be iustified, and remaineth an inuincible king
for euer.
2 Who is sufficient to declare his workes?
3 For
who shal search out his glorious thinges?
4 and who shal
shew forth the powre of his greatnesse? or who shal adde to
declare his mercie?
5 It is not possible to diminish, nor adde,
neither is it possible to finde the glorious workes of God:
6 When a man shal haue done, then shal he beginne: and
when he shal rest, he shal worke.
7 What is man, and what is
his grace? and what is his good, or what his euil?
8 The number
of the daies of men at the most an hundred yeares: as
droppes of the water of the sea they are reputed: and as the
grauel stone of the sand, so a few yeares in the day of eternitie.
9 For this cause God is patient toward them, and powreth
out his mercie vpon them.
10 He hath senne the presumption
of their hart that it is naught, and hath knowen their subuersion
that it is euil.
11 Therefore hath he fulfilled his propitiation
toward them, and hath shewed them the way of equitie.
12 Mans compassion is touching his neigbour: but the
mercie of God is vpon al flesh.
13 He that hath mercie, teacheth,
and instructeth, as a pastour his flocke.
14 He hath
mercie on him that receiueth the doctrine of compassion, and
he that hasteneth in his iudgementes.
15 Sonne in good deedes
geue no blame, and in euerie gift geue not the sadnes of an
euil word.
16 Shal not the dew coole heate? so also a word
better then a gift.
17 Is not a word aboue a good gift? but
both are with a iustified man.
18 A foole wil vpbraide bitterly:
and the gift of one vntaught maketh the eies to drie away.
19 Before iudgement prepare thee iustice, and before thou
speake lerne.
20 Before sickenes take medicine, and before
-- --
iudgement examine thyself, and in the sight of God thou shalt
finde propitiation.
21 Before sickenes humble thy self, and in
time of infirmitie shew thy conuersation.
22 Be not hindered
noteto pray alwayes, & feare not to be iustified euen to death:
because the reward of God abideth for euer.
23 Before praier
prepare thy soule: and be not as a man that tempteth God.
24 Remember the wrath in the day of consummation, and the
time of reward in conuersation of the face.
25 Remember
pouertie in the time of abundance, and the necessities of
pouertie in the day of riches.
26 From morning vnto euening
time shal be changed, & al these are sowne in the eies of God.
27 A wise man in al thinges wil feare, & in the daies of offences
wil beware of sloth.
28 Euerie subtile man knoweth wisdom,
and to him that findeth her he wil geue prayse.
29 The wise in
wordes, and they also haue done wisely: and haue vnderstood
truth and iustice, and haue rayned prouerbes & iudgementes.
30 Goe not after thy concupiscences, and turne away
from thy wil.
31 If thou geue to thy soule her concupiscences,
she wil make thee a ioy to the enemies.
32 Be not delighted
in multitudes, nor in few: for their concertation is continual.
33 Be not poore in contention of borowing, and thou hast
nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt be enuious to thine
owne life.
