Chap. XLI.
note
An other matter of meditation is death, 8. wherof sinne is the cause. 15.
Care of a good same is necessarie. 19. Let shamfastnes be a bridle to
auoide fornication, 22. iniquitie, 24. theft, and other sinnes.

1 O Death how bitter is thy memorie to a man that hath
peace in his riches:
2 to a man that is at rest, and whose
wayes are prosperous in al thinges, and that is yet able to take
meate!
3 O death, thy iudgement is good to a needy man, and
him that is diminished in strength,
4 and fayleth in age, and
that is careful of al thinges, and to the incredulous, that loseth
patience!
5 Feare not the iudgement of death. Remember
what thinges haue bene before thee, and what come after
thee: this is the iudgement from our Lord to al flesh:
6 and
what shal come vpon thee by the good pleasure of the
Highest? whether it be ten, or an hundred, or a thousand
yeares.
7 For in hel there is no note accusing of life.
8 The
children of sinners be come children of abominations, and
they that conuerse neere the houses of the impious.
9 The
inheritance of the children of sinners shal perish, and with
their seede shal be continuance of reproch.
10 The children
complaine of an impious father, because for him they are in
reproch.
11 Woe to you ye impious men, which haue forsaken
the law of our Lord the Highest.
12 And if ye be borne, ye
shal be borne in malediction: and if ye die, in malediction
shal be your portion.
13 Al thinges that are of the earth, shal
returne into the earth: so the impious from malediction to
perdition.
14 The moorning of men is in their bodie, but the
name of the impious shal be cleane wyped out.
15 Haue care
of a good name: for this shal be more permanent to thee,
then a thousand treasures precious and great.
16 There is a
number of the daies of a good life: but a good name shal continew
for euer.
17 Children, keepe ye discipline in peace. For
wisdom hid, and treasure not seene, what profite is there in
them both?
18 Better is the man that hideth his follie, then
the man that hideth his wisdom.
19 But yet note haue reuerence
to these thinges, which proceede from my mouth.
20 For it is not good to obserue al shamfastnes: & note al thinges
do not please al men in opinion.
21 Be ashamed before father &
before mother, of fornication: and before the president and
before the mightie, of lying:
22 before the prince, and before
the iudge, of offence: before the sinagogue and the people, of iniquitie:
23 before companion and freind, of iniustice: and
before the place where thou dwellest,
24 of theft, of the
truth of God, and his testament: of leaning on the bread, and
of reproofe for the thing geuen and taken:
25 before them that
-- --
salute thee, of silence: of beholding a woman that is an harlot:
and of turning away thy countenance from thy kinsman.
26 Turne not away thy face from thy neighbour, & of taking
away part and not restoring.
27 Behold not an other mans
wife, and search not his handmayde, neither stand by her bed.
28 Before freindes of opprobrious wordes: and when thou
hast geuen, vpbrayde not.
