found by the Test to bee without faith Striue to be in loue with Uertue out of the inclination of thine owne vertue for it is but a flanish good which Lawes and extremitie doth kéepe from committing of euill Let wisedome propound discréet ends to thine affayres and do nothing rashly for an honest suruey of things to come preuents insuing repentance Let not the Sunne goe downe on thy wrath but whether iniuring or iniured offer reconciliation for the peace-maker is blessed If thy enemy do it before thée hee conquers thée and thou losest that blessing Let thine owne brest be the Cabanet for thine owne secret counsels and doe not bele●ue that it is too hard for one but that it is enough for two and a great deale too much for thrée Let neuer any malice make thée reneale what the least friendship hath shut in thy bosome Let the choyce of thy friend be a iourney into the Indies long in doing but once chosen kéepe him to the end for to want a friend is to want vertue and to change often shewes incertaine honesty Let thy spéech be like Moses his slow but aduised and fore-thinke the fitnesse of thy spéech before thine vtterance affirme nothing but truth within thine owne knowledge and rather bee silent then speake to euill purpose In praysing be discréet without enuy in saluting courteous in admonishing friendly in forgiuing mercifull in promising faithfull in recompensing bountifull and make not the reward of Uertue the gift of fauour Giue euery man the reuerence due to his place but respect his goodnesse before his greatnesse Auoid pride in thy youth disdaine it in thine age and feare and suspect it at all seasons Pride hath two steps to climbe by alow bloud and a great enuy Kéepe thy foot from the doore of the harlot thy hand from the booke of the lender thy tongue from the slander of thy neighbour thy society from the drunkard and Epicure for pouerty shall be their portion And the sléeper shall bee cloathed with ragges Beware of Suretiship it is the birdlime of the time and lockes vp men in bolted cages Bee not vnthrifty to spend too much loue on thy selfe nor yet so extreame frugall not to spend good wit and words together And howsoeuer thou studiest the highest things let thy modesty looke for no rent from thy selfe but strangers Say with the Wise-man thou knowest nothing but that thou knowest nothing Rule those that liue vnder thée rather with loue then feare the first is safe the latter dangerous In hearing controuersies clense thine eares from the waxe of other mens reports and lend the one to the accuser the other to the accused let the cause of the poore and néedy come in equall ballance with the rich and mighty and if by aduantagious wealth any mountains be raysed to obscure the poore valley pull downe the first and rayse vp the latter till both come to an euen leuell Make not recreation an occupation for the too much vse thereof conuerts to poyson like a surfet of honey cannot be cured without digesting of wormwood If thou suruey the liues of men and manners of the time While each reproues anothers fault looke who is void of crime Loue not vilde things how faire so ere they seem 'T is Vertue and not Wealth wisemen esteeme Be constant but if cause require vnstable seeme to be Wise men their conuersations change and yet from faults are free Argue not with a man is naught but words Speech but not wisdome Nature vs affords So loue thy friend as to thy selfe a louing friend thou bee So bound thy bounty to the best that harme pursue not thee The better to supply thy want spare what thy hand hath got And that thou maist thy penny saue suppose thou hast it not Without Compasse In Conuersation is Luxury THe smyle of a Foe that procéedeth of enuy is worse then the teare of a friend procéeding of pitty There can be no amity where there is no vertue and that friendship is most hatefull and accursed where some become friends to doe vnto others mischiefe A false friend is like quick-siluer vnto gould it cleanes vnto it séemes as if it would neuer forsake it but if it once come into the fire it presently flies away in fume and though the gould remaine yet is the siluer neuer more to be decerned and such is a fayned friend in the time of tribulation He that is immoderate in his laughter or too audacious in his spéech in the one expresseth his folly in the other his pride Hee whose sad countenance is euer voyde of alacrity hath a proud hart empty of all humility A man of ill conuersation may slaunder his neighbour foure seuerall waies first in his silence when he saith nothing and yet can truely cleare an imputation falsly affirmed secondly in writing casting out lybells that are false and vniustifiable thirdly in doubts by drawing away the good opinions of other men and lastly in his authority by making such as trust him beléeue vntruths and falshoods Who sweares for lucre or gaine of money goes but a haires breadth from periury though his oath be iust for the sinne of couetousnesse wil confound him Those which haue no care but to heap vp riches and are not able to imploy them are like those men which haue goodly Horses but know not how to ride them He that doth good to the wicked is like him that giues meate to another mans dogge for they barke at him as well as at others Luxurie is a pleasure bought with paine a delight hatcht with disquiet a content passed with feare and a sinne finished with sorrow Luxurie is an enemy to the purse a foe to the person a canker to the mind a corasiue to the conscience a weakner of the wit a besotter of the senses and lastly a mortall bane to the whole body so that who so liues out of compasse in this wildernesse shall finde pleasure the path way to perdition and Luxurie the loadstone to vtter ruine The Jealous man liuing dyes and dying prolongs out his life in passions worse then death he sées none but with suspition heare 's no man knocke but with amazement nor interprets any discourse but to dishonest purpose if his wife frowne she hates him if she smile she hath had successe in adultery modesty is dissimulation fauour is a decrée of false dealing and in conclusion nothing can he sée but doubts and frenzie Enuy shooteth at others but for the most part euermore woundeth her selfe Enuy is the filthy slime impostume of the soule a perpetuall torment to him in whom it abideth a venome or quicksiluer which consumeth the flesh and dryeth vp the marrow of the bones Dissimulation is an euill humor of the mind and contrary to honesty it is a countenaunce euer disagréeing from the hearts imaginations and a notorious lyar in whatsoeuer it suggesteth The flattery of an enemy is like the song of the Syren it
