Chap. VIII.
note
Contend not with a man of powre, rich, ful of tongue, or very ignorant. 6.
Despise not the penitent, nor old folke. 8. Reioyce not at an enemies death.
9. Lerne of the elder. 13. Obserue discretion in admonishing, lending, and
in being suertie. 17. Reproue not Iudges. 18. Conuerse not with the furious,
foolish, nor with strangers.
1 Strive not with a mightie man, lest perhaps thou fal
into his handes.
2 Contend not with a rich man, lest
perhaps he make an action against thee.
3 For note gold and
siluer hath destroyed manie, and hath reached euen to the
-- --
hart of kinges, and hath turned them.
4 Striue not with a man
ful of tongue, and thou shalt not heape stickes vpon his fyre.
5 Communicate not with the ignorant man, lest he speake
il of thy progenie.
6 Despise not a man that turneth himself
from sinne, nor vpbrayde him therwith: remember that we
are al in state to be blamed.
7 Despise not a man in his old
age: for we also shal become old.
8 Reioyce not of thine
enemie dead knowing that we doe al die, and would not that
others should ioy therat.
9 Despise not the narration of wise
ancients, and in their prouerbes be thou conuersant.
10 For of
them thou shalt lerne wisdom, and doctrine of vnderstanding,
and to serue great men without blame.
11 Let not the narration
of the ancients escape thee: for they lerned of their
fathers:
12 because of them thou shalt lerne vnderstanding, and
in time of necessitie to geue answer.
13 Kindle not the coles of
sinners rebuking them, and be not kindled with the flame of
the fire of their sinnes.
14 Stand not against the face of a contumelious
person, lest he sitte as a spie in wayte for thy mouth.
15 Lend not to a man mightier then thyself, and if thou doest
lend, count it as lost.
16 Be not suretie aboue thy power: and
if thou be surerie, thinke as if thou were to pay it.
17 Judge
not agaynst a iudge: because he iudgeth according to that
which is iust.
18 With the audacious goe not on the way, lest
perhaps he burden thee with his euils: for he goeth according
to his owne wil, and thou shalt perish together with his
follie.
19 With an angrie man make no brawle, and with the
audacious goe not into the desert: because bloud is as nothing
before him, and where there is no helpe, he wil ouerthrow
thee.
20 Conferre no counsel note with fooles, for they can not
loue but such thinges as please them.
21 Before a stranger doe
no matter of counsel: for thou knowest not what he wil
bring forth.
22 Make not thy hart manifest to euerie man:
lest perhaps he repay thee false kindnes, and speake reprochfully
to thee.
