A72482	Keepe within compasse: or, the worthy legacy of a wise father to his beloued sonne teaching him how to liue richly in this world and eternally happy in the world to come. Meete for all sorts of people whatsoeuer.	Trundle, John.	1619 (1619)	STC 14898.5; ESTC S104889	14,131	50

both inchaunts deceiues and brings to destruction He that is vainely carried away with all things is neuer delighted with any one thing It is a common imperfection to commit folly but an extraordinary perfection to a mend it As no Uermyne will bréed where they finde no warmth no vultures sléepe where they finde no pray no flies swarm where they sée no flesh no Pilgrim créep where there is no crosse so there is no flattering parasit will lurke where hee findes no gaine He that mistrusts without cause is euermore credulous without proofe Causlesse suspition is the next way to make him doe euill which otherwise would carry a constant resolution to honesty Ignorance is that defect which causeth a man to iudge euill of things to deliberate worse not to know how to take present aduantage of good things but to conceiue ill of whatsoeuer is good in mans life Cruelty is extreame wrong the rigorous effect of an euill disposed will and the fruit which is reapt from iniustice Feare and Cowardise is destitute of reason alwaies attended on with two perturbations of the soule Basenesse and Sadnesse it is also the defect of the vertue of fortitude Quyps or scoffes are deprauings from the actions of other men they are the ouerflowings of wit and the superfluous skums of conceits Carelesse men are euermore neare neighbours to their owne harmes He that doth promise all and naught doth giue Dies with mens hate with flattery doth liue If friends to whom thou hast beene kind thy kindnes naught regard Accuse not Fate but blame thy fault be wiser afterward If wedded thou haue children store and little weath to giue To bring them vp in Idlenesse most wretched shall they liue What is thy due thou maist require or what seemes honest craue But Fooles doe euermore desire the things they should not haue Who feares to die doth euer hold all follies foule effect For such fond feare all ioy of life doth vtterly reiect Keep within Compasse In Apparell LEt the furniture and ornaments of thy person be fit and sutable for thy place or honor but not too curyous for the one becomes a man of wisdome the other appertayneth to persons effeminate or such as delight in ostentation Thinke the best apparell thou canst get from God is true felicity and the richest cloath of thine owne spinning to be good counsaile It is better to be poore and honest then rich and wicked for iustice is better then riches the one dies with the body but the other liues as long as memory Whatsoeuer thou spendest in earthly vanities they either die before thée or shortly follow after thée Passe not by the poore as no part of thy care least God in thy wants so turne away his face from thée Let the Couetous man fill his bagge neuer so full the Voluptuous man take his pleasure neuer so long the Ambitious Courtier build his house like his thoughts neuer so high the proud Lady paint neuer so thicke the young Man deferre repentance neuer so long yet all must die all giue an account all be iudged Shun painted brauery for it is a riotous excesse either in apparell or other ornaments it is also a part of pride and contrary to decency and comlinesse Spend not beyond thy power nor hope on others promise for both are guides to beggery Be not carelesse in spending thine owne wealth that thou mayst be estéemed carefull to preserue another mans substance How vaine a thing is brauery which is borrowed from the wormes labored by the hands bought with much charge and defaced with euery spot All outward ornaments are toyes of vanity but an humble spirit is a token of piety As the wéed cannot be estéemed pretious for the faire flower which it beareth so hold no man vertuous for the gay garments he weareth Neuer be proud of thine apparell since the colour cannot compare with flowers the fine thrids with the Spiders webbe nor the swéet perfume with the Muskcats excrements The onely commendable end of musicke is to praise God Musicke vsed moderatly like sléepe is the bodies best recreation Nothing rauisheth the mind sooner then Musicke and no Musicke is more sweete then mans voyce Patience excéedeth knowledge and Musicke begetteth patience Use dauncing for recreation or for graue solemnities yet euer with moderation for at such times a chast mind knowes not how to be corrupted By all meanes shunne pride in euery part of thée for it is an vnreasonable desire to inioy honours estates and great places it is a vice of excesse contrary to modesty which is a part of temperance Game for recreation not lucre for so the blemished may recouer some beauty and let thy game tast of wit and schollership more then of sleight or fortune Bee temperat in all thine actions for temperance is that light which dryueth away the darknesse of all passions it is of all vertues most wholesome for it preserueth both publikely and priuatly humane society it lifteth vp the soule most miserably thrown downe in vice and restoreth her againe into her place it is also a mutuall consent of the parts of the soule causing all disorder and vnbridled affections to take reason for a rule and direction Constancy and temperance in thine actions maketh vertue strong Frugality is the badge of discretion Hee that is not puffed vp with praise nor afflicted with aduersities nor moued by slaunders nor corrupted by benefits is fortunately most temperate There is nothing in the world better then moderation for by it the assaults of the flesh are subdued and the fruits of good life retayned Temperance hath eight hand-maids Modesty Shamefastnesse Abstinence Continency Honesty Moderation Sparing and Sobriety If thou wilt be iust thou must be temperate for it is the office of iustice to haue his soule frée from perturbations Be valiant but coole in doing iniuries a coward weares but the disguisd maske of temperance and is inwardly most reuengefull He is worthy to be called a moderate person which firmly gouerneth and bridleth with reason the vice of sensuality and all other grosse affections of the minde Be as farre from ambition as from deiection the one is his owne slaue the other all the worlds Preserue thy name for that comes from thine auncestors but thy good reputation from thy vertues When greatnesse cannot beare it selfe with vertue nor ancestry it ouerthrowes it selfe onely with the waight of it selfe Spare for no cost in thine attyre if cause requyre the same Apenny better spent then spared adds to an honest name Abandon superfluities let comly things content Safe is the barke on calmer seas to 'th wished hauen bent Eschew by ouer nice attire foule Enuies hatefull sting Which though it hurt not to indure is yet an irksome thing Fly wanton Ryot and withall eschew the common Fame Of Auarice both which extreames impaire a mans good name Of wished health haue cheifest care warme cloathing doe prouide Light and vnholsome garments are true Emblems
