Chap. XXXVIII.
note
God hath ordained corporal, 9. and spiritual medicines. 16. Vse moderate,
not excessiue sorow for the dead. 26. Tradesmen and artificers are necessarie,
much more spiritual pastors.
1 Honovr the phisition note for necessitie: for the Highest
hath created him.
2 For al medicine is of God, & it shal
receiue gift of the king.
3 The knowlege of the phisition shal
exalt his head, and in the sight of great men he shal be praised.
-- --
4 The Highest hath created medicines of the earth, and a wise
man wil not abhorre them.
5 Was not bitter water made
sweete by wood?
6 The vertue of these thinges is come to
the knowlege of men, and the Highest hath geuen knowlege
to men, for to be honoured in his meruelous thinges.
7 Curing with these thinges he shal mitigate paine, and the
apothecarie shal make confections of swetenes, and shal
make ointments of health, and his workes shal not be consummated.
8 For the peace of God is vpon the face of the
earth.
9 Sonne note in thine infirmitie contemne not thy self,
but pray our Lord, and he wil cure thee.
10 Turne away from
sinne, and direct thy handes, and from al offence cleanse thy
hart.
11 Geue sweetenes and a memorial of fine floure, and
make a fat oblation, and geue place to the phisition.
12 For
our Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee,
because his workes be necessarie.
13 For there is a time when
thou maist fal into their handes:
14 and they shal beseech our
Lord, that he direct their rest, and healing; for their conuersation.
15 He that sinneth in his sight, that made him, shal fal
into the handes of the phisition.
16 Sonne vpon the dead
shed teares, and beginne to weepe as hauing suffered doleful
thinges, and according to iudgement couer his bodie, and
neglect not his burial.
17 But note for detraction beare bitterly
the mourning of him one day, and be comforted for the
heauines,
18 and make mourning according to his desert one
day, or two, because of detraction.
19 For by heauines death
hasteneth, and it couereth the strength, and sorow of the hart
boweth the necke.
20 In abstraction sorow is permanent: and
the substance of the poore is according to his hart.
21 Geue
not thine hart into heauines, but expel it from thee: and remember
the latter endes,
22 and forget not: for neither is
there returne, and him thou shalt profit nothing, and thou
shalt hurt thy self.
23 Be mindful of my iudgement: for thine
also must be so: to me yesterday, and to thee to day.
24 In the
repose of the dead make the memorie of him to rest, and comfort
him in the departing of his spirit.
25 noteThe wisdom of
a scribe in the time of vacance: and he that is lesse in action,
shal receiue wisdom.
26 With what wisdom shal he be replenished,
that holdeth the plough, and glorieth in the goade,
driueth oxen with the prickle, and conuerseth in their
workes, and his talke is in the breede of bulles?
27 He wil
-- --
geue his hart to turne vp furrowes, and his watching in the
feeding of kine.
28 So euerie craftsman and workemaster that
passeth the night as the day, that maketh grauen seales, and
his continual diligence varieth the picture: he wil geue his
hart to the similitude of the picture, and his watching wil
perfect the worke.
29 So the yronsmith sitting by the anuil and
considering the worke of yron. The vapour of the fire wil
parche his flesh, and he striueth in the heate of the fournace:
30 The noyse of the hammer reneweth his care, and his eye is
against the similitude of the vessel.
31 He wil geue his hart to
the finishing of the workes, and his watching wil polish to
perfection.
32 So the porter sitting at his worke, turning the
wheele with his feete, who is alwayes set in carefulnes for his
worke, and al his working is in number:
33 With his arme
he wil fashion the clay, and before his feete he wil bend
his strength:
34 He wil geue his hart to finish the vernishing
thereof, and his watching wil make cleane the fournace.
35 Al
these haue hoped in their handes, and euerie one is wise in his
owne art.
36 Without these a citie is not built.
37 And they
shal not inhabite, nor walke therein, and they shal not leape
high into the congregation.
38 Vpon the iudges seate they
shal not sitte, and the ordinance of iudgement they shal not
vnderstand, neither shal they declare discipline and iudgement,
and in parables they shal not be found:
39 but they
shal confirme the creature of the world, and their prayer shal
be in the worke of their art, applying their soule, & searching
in the law of the Highest.
