1 O Lord father, and dominatour of my life note leaue me not
in their counsel: nor suffer me to fal in them.
2 Who
laieth on stripes in my cogitation, and in my hart the doctrine
of wisdom, and in their ignorances they spare me not, and
their offences appeare not,
3 and my ignorances increase not,
and my offences be multiplied, and my sinnes ahound, and I
fal in the sight of mine aduersaries, & mine enemies reioyce.
4 O Lord father, and God of my life, leaue me not in their cogitation.
5 Hautines of mine eies geue me not, and al desire
turne away from me.
6 Take from me the concupiscences of
the bellie, and let not the concupiscences of copulation take
hold of me, and geue me not ouer to a shamelesse and foolish
minde.
7 O children heare note the doctrine of the mouth: and
he that wil keepe it, shal not perish by his lippes, nor be scandalized
in most wicked workes.
8 A sinner is taught in his
-- --
vanitie, and the proud and the euil speaker shal he scandalized
in them.
9 Let not thy mouth be accustomed note to swearing:
for there be manie falles in it.
10 But let not the naming of
God be vsual in thy mouth, and meddle not with the names
of Sainctes, because thou shalt not scape free from them.
11 For
as a seruant daily examined, lacketh not the marke therof:
so euerie one that sweareth, and nameth, shal not be wholy
purged from sinne.
12 A man that sweareth much shal be
filled with iniquitie, and plague shal not depart from his
house.
13 And if he frustrate it, his sinne shal be vpon him:
and if he dissemble, he offendeth duble:
14 and if he sweare
in vaine, he shal not be iustified: for his house shal be filled
with retribution.
15 There is an other note contrarie speach, also
noteto death, be it not found in the inheritance of Iacob.
16 For of the merciful al those thinges shal be taken away,
and they wil not wallow in sinnes.
17 Let not thy mouth be
accustomed to note vnnurtered speach: for there is in it a word
of sinne.
18 noteRemember thy father and thy mother, for thou
sittest in the middest of greate men:
19 lest perhapes God
forget thee in their sight, and being sotted with thy dailie
custome, thou suffer reproch, and hadst better not haue bene
borne, and curse the day of thy natiuitie.
20 A man accustomed
to the wordes of reproch, wil not be instructed in al his daies.
21 Two sortes abound in sinnes, and the third bringeth wrath
and perdition.
22 An note hote soule as a burning fire wil not be
quenched, til it swallow somewhat.
23 and a wicked man in
the mouth of his flesh wil not cease til he kindle a fire.
24 To a
man that is note a fornicatour al bread is sweete, he wil not be
wearie transgressing vnto the end.
25 Euerie man that passeth
notebeyond his owne bed, contemning against his owne soule,
and saying: Who seeth me?
26 Darkenes compasseth me, and
the walles couer me, and no man beholdeth me: whom do
I feare? the Highest wil not be mindful of my sinnes.
27 And
he vnderstandeth not that his eye seeth al thinges, for that
such feare of man expelleth from him the feare of God, & the
eies of men fearing him:
28 and he knoweth not that the eies
of our Lord are much more brighter then the sunne, beholding
round about al the waies of men, and the botome of the
depth, and the hartes of men looking into the hidden partes.
29 For al thinges were knowen to our Lord God, before they
were created: so also after it is perfected he beholdeth al
-- --
thinges.
30 noteReuenge shal be taken on this man in the streates
of the cittie, and as an horsecolt he shal be chased: and where
he expected not, he shal be apprehended.
31 And he shal be in
dishonour with al men, for that he vnderstood not the feare
of our Lord.
32 So euerie woman also that forsaketh her
husband, & getteth inheritance by mariage of an other.
33 For
first she hath bene vnfaithful in the law of the Highest: and
secondly she hath sinned against her busband: thirdly she hath
fornicated in adulterie, and hath gotten her children of an
other man.
34 This woman shal be brought into the Church,
and vpon her children there shal be examination.
35 Her
children shal not take roote, and her boughes shal not yeld
fruite.
36 She shal leaue her memorie to be cursed, and her
dishonour shal not be wiped out.
37 And they that are leaft
shal know, that nothing is better then the feare of God: and
nothing sweter, then to haue regard to the commandmentes
of our Lord.
38 It is great glorie to folow our Lord: for length
of daies shal be taken of him.
