Chap. XXXII.
note
Superiors must rule with mekenes, 4. teaching those wisdom that are capable
thereof. 7. Be moderate in musike, and in wine. 9. Let yongmen be diligent
to heare, and sparing to speake. 13. especially before their betters. 15.
Be alwayes wel occupied. 17. Serue, and feare God. 21. admitte correction.
24. do nothing without counsel.
1 Have they made thee Ruler? note be not extolled: be
among them as one of them.
2 Haue care of them, and
so sitte thou stil, and al thy care being dispatched, repose.
3 That thou maist reioyce for their sakes, & receiue a crowne
as an ornament of grace, and obteyne the dignitie of the contribution.
4 Speake thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,
5 the first word to him that loueth with knowlege, & hinder
not musike.
6 Where there is no hearing, power not out
-- --
speache, and extol not thyself out of time in thy wisdom.
7 A litle pearle of the carbuncle in an ornament of gold, and
the comparison of musicians in a banket of wine.
8 As a
signet of the emerauld is in the working of gold: so the melodie
of musike in ioyful and moderate wine.
9 Heare holding
thy peace, & for thy reuerence good grace shal come to thee.
10 Yong man speake in thine owne cause scarcely.
11 If thou
be asked twise, let thyne answer haue an head.
12 In manie
thinges be as it were ignorant, and heare holding thy peace
and withal asking.
13 In the middes of greate men presume
not: and where ancients are, speake not much.
14 Before
haile there shal goe lightning: & grace shal goe before shamfastnes,
& for thy reuerence good grace shal come to thee.
15 And at the houre of rysing slacke not thyself: but runne
before first into thy house, and there withdraw thyself, and
there play,
16 and doe thy conceites, and not in sinnes and
proud word.
17 And aboue al these thinges blesse our Lord,
that made thee, & that doth replenish thee with al his goodes.
18 He that feareth our Lord, shal receiue his doctrine: and
they that wil watch after him, shal finde blessing.
19 He that
seeketh the law, shal be replenished with it: and he that
doth deceitfully, shal be scandalized by it.
20 They that
feare our Lord, shal finde iust iudgement, and shal kindle
iustices as light.
21 A sinful man wil flee reprehension, and
according to his wil, wil finde excuse.
22 A man of counsel
wil not destroy vnderstanding, an aliene and proud man wil
not dread feare:
23 Yea after he hath done with feare without
counsel, he shal be controwled euen by his owne pursuites.
24 Sonne note doe nothing without counsel, and after the fact
thou shalt not repent.
25 Goe not in the way of ruine, and
thou shalt not stumble at stones: commite not thyself to a
laborious way, lest thou set a scandal to thy soule.
26 And
beware of thy children, and take heede of them of thy household.
27 In al thy worke beleue thy soule note by faith: for this is
the keeping of the commandmentes.
28 He thal beleueth God,
attendeth to the commandmentes: and he that trusteth in
him, shal not be lessened.
