note
Godie knowlege, 16. puritie of soule, 20. humble conceipt of our selues, 27.
and consideration of eternal reward, are good dispositions to spiritual
contemplation.
1 The note wise man wil search out the wisdom of al the
ancientes, and wil be occupied in the prophetes.
2 He
wil keepe the narration of famous men, and wil enter withal
into the subtilities of parables.
3 He wil search out the hidden
senses of prouerbes, and wil conuerse in the secretes of parables.
4 In the middes of great men he wil minister, and in the
sight of the president he shal appeare.
5 He shal passe into the
land of strange nations: for he shal trie good and euil in men.
6 He wil geue his hart to watch early vnto our Lord, that
-- --
made him, and he wil pray in the sight of the Highest.
7 He
Wil open his mouth in prayer, and wil entreate for his sinnes.
8 For if it shal please our great Lord, he wil fil him with note the
spirit of vnderstanding:
9 and he wil power forth the wordes
of his wisdom as showres, and in prayer wil confesse to our
Lord.
10 And he wil direct his counsel, and discipline, and in
his secretes he wil consult.
11 He wil open the discipline of
his doctrine, and wil glorie in the law of the testament of our
Lord.
12 Manie wil praise his wisdom, and it shal not be
abolished for euer.
13 The memorie of him shal not depart,
and his name shal be required from generation to generation.
14 Nations shal declare his wisdom, and the church wil shew
forth his praise.
15 If he continew, he shal leaue a name more
then a thousand: and if he rest, it shal profite him.
16 I wil yet
consult that I may declare: For as with furie I am replenished.
17 In voice he saith: Heare me ye diuine fruites, and as the
rose planted vpon the riuers of waters fructifie ye.
18 As Libanus
note haue ye the odours of sweetnes.
19 Florish ye
flowres, as the lilie, and geue forth an odour, and bring forth
leaues in grace, and praise with songue, and blesse our Lord in
his workes.
20 noteGeue magnificence to his name, and confesse
vnto him in the voice of your lippes, and in songues of the
lippes, and harpes, & thus shal ye say in confession:
21 Al the
workes of our Lord are exceeding good.
22 At his word the
water stood as an heape: and at the word of his mouth as it
were receptacles of waters:
23 because in his commandment
placabilitie is made, and there is no diminishing of his saluation.
24 The workes of al flesh are before him, and there is
nothing hid from his eyes.
25 From world to world be beholdeth,
and nothing is meruelous in his sight.
26 It is not to be
saied: What is this, or what is that? for al thinges shal be
sought in their time.
27 noteHis blessing hath ouerflowed as a
streame.
28 And as a flood hath watered the drie land, so his
wrath shal inherite the nations, that haue not sought him:
29 euen as he turned waters into drught, and the earth was
made drie: and his waies are direct to the waies of them: so to
sinners stumbling blockes in his wrath.
30 Good thinges were
created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked,
good thinges and euil.
31 noteThe beginning of the thing necessarie
for the life of men, water, fire, and yron, salt, milke,
and bread of flower, and honie, and the cluster of grape, and
-- --
oyle, & clothing.
32 Al these shal be conuerted to saintes into
good, so also to the impious and to sinners into euil.
33 There
are spirites, that were created note for vengeance, and in their
furie they haue confirmed their tormentes:
34 in the time of
consummation they shal power out strength: and they shal
accomplish the furie of him, that made them.
35 Fire, haile,
famine, and death, al these were created fot vengeance:
36 the
teeth of beastes, and scorpions, and serpentes, and sword reuenging
the impious vnto destruction.
37 In his commandmentes
they shal make merrie, and on the earth they shal be
prepared when nede is, and in their times they shal not pretermitte
a word.
38 Therefore from the beginning I was confirmed,
and I haue consulted, and thought, and leaft written.
39 Al the workes of our Lord are good, & he wil geue euerie
worke in his houre.
40 It is not to be said: This is worse then
that: for al shal be approued in their time.
41 And now with
al hart and mouth praise ye, and blesse the name of our Lord.
