winde serue to a good intent And know to what end thy riches are sent Hoyse vp saile to heauens happinesse Where thou shalt arriue with great blessednesse There thou mai'st be welcome though wanting gold And not by earthly wants thy ioyes controld No pouertie shall part thee from that societie But bring thee to thy ioyes eternitie Though wealth doth die the colour here in graine In heauen t' is held most base in great disdaine Phisitians and Lawyers are men of fame And experience doth auer the same Whose labors doth deserue their proper gaine No patient can be cur'de without some paine If thou dost learne diseases and their cures Be carefull what thy patient endures Haue due respect vnto thy cures and be free From corrupted thoughts then happie shalt thou bee Delay no cures but doe thy best for ease Which both thy patient and thy God doth please Pittie the heauie cares of those in paine And be not too greedy to seeke thy gaine Let measure guide thy hand in all thy deeds Thinke on the greeued heart with paine that bleeds Thinke vpon his case say that it were thine How hard it were for want of helpe to pine Learne no vnlawfull games thy state to raise That by deceipt may profit thee any waies What though thou shift it from the gamsters eye It is beheld by him that sits on high He doth behold your dealings euery way How securely so ere you thinke you play Goods gotten by deceipt is quickly gone By getting so better nere get none But rather well to keep thine owne first learne The better how to gaine thou mai'st descerne What though this vicious gaine so vainely got With plentie seemes to replenish the pot It is but a feast or sport that 's passing away And the least crosse of all brings it to decay All Cards and dice and all such idle play From thy delight discard and cast away For deale or rub whose hap so ere it be to haue The knaue of Clubs will euer be a Knaue Flatter no Mistris Fubs or Ione a nods Nor honor golden calues nor wodden gods Nor puffe a pesant vp with rascall pride A rascall will but like a begger ride Be carefull of the words that thou dost talke And be not desirous with a Knaue to walke Be carefull how thou dost thy secrets disclose Backbiters are full of wrong thou mai'st suppose Doe not with the Letcher seeme to reioyce It is but a loathsome and hatefull voice But rather perswade them from their follie And from the loue of a deed so vnholie Do not with spend-thrifts smile at pouertie Least thou thy selfe come to necessitie Doe not with Epicures reioice and say With meaner fare thou couldst not well away Nor do not triumph ouer simple wits And lament the state of those franzie fits Doe not by any meanes learne to deceiue That will but vertue from thy conscience driue And disanull-thee of thy quiet rest Exceeding ioyes of all things else is best Aime at no profit with a poisned breath Left it be paid thee in the second death Though conscience here be poore and meanly clad No meanes but from the Baggers to be had Yet time shall come it shall be well respected When prodigalitie shall be neglected There shall she finde a house adorn'd with state When Diues repents but all too late There shall she finde fine and daintie cheare When Gluttons in horror shall appeare Her raiment then shall be euerlasting When her foes their bitter cup are tasting Then let conscience gouerne thy state aright That thou mai'st behold this euerlasting sight An honest minde in euery trade doth well The winde blowes ill that blowes the soule to hell Doe not before the Diuell a candle hold Seeke no corrupt meanes for siluer or gold If that thy Wife be faire be thou not foule To let her play the Ape and thou the Owle Winke at no faults it is but miserie By bestiall meanes to releeue necessitie If thou be a Husband gouerne so thy Wife That her peeuish meanes worke not thy strife Giue her not too much law to run before Too much boldnesse doth bring thy ouerthrow Yet abridge her not too much by any meane But let her still be thy companion And to thy Daughter proue a better Sire Then like a hacknie let her out to hire What a greiuous case were this for thee To extoll thy selfe to prosperitie By such insatiat meanes a heauie sense Deseruing nought but hell for recompence Like a kinde father loue thy children deare Yet to outward view let not loue appeare Least too boldly they presuming on thy loue By audacious meanes doe audacious proue Seeme not a companion in any case To thy children learne them know who 's in place That due obedience to thee be done The end must needs be good that 's well begonne Thus may thy children be at thy command With willing heart still helpfull at thy hand Familiarity contempt doth breed By no meanes do thou stoope vnto thy seede While the twig is yong bend it as thou list Once being growne they 'll stubbornely resist Caring not for parents nor their talking Commending their owne wits age is doting Looke well to youth and how their time is spent Least thou by leasure afterwards repent What though thy childe grow rich thy selfe grow poore Wil t thou afford him reuerence therefore Imperfection to thine age that doth show Let children expresse what duty they owe And not be blinded with a selfe conceipt To wise men hate to fooles a pleasing bait Let thy care be great for Childrens good It is a charge that 's hardly vnderstood Vse no corrections in an angrie vaine Which will but vexe thee much increase thy paine And rashnesse euermore repentance cries Giue due correction therein be wise The griefe is thine when children goe astray Giue them not too much libertie to play Least that they doe to a custome bring it And euer after forbeare to leaue it Vrge not with violence thy childrens woe As cruell parents many times doe so Which to despaire may careleslie driue them When that their care doth carelesly leaue them To run at randome shifting as they may Alas it is a heauie case I say Let not children vrge their parents vnto ire But with duty do what they shall require With obedient hearts obedience show Such true obedience to them you owe. Thinke it not a trifle to forbeare it When Gods commandement doth require it A blessing great besides he hath reserued Whose dutie hath this due deserued Honor thy parents long may be thy daies Happie in all and blessed are thy waies Be not stubborne at all it breeds disdaine That which they forbid thee that refraine This is the course that thou their loue mai'st haue Wise parents childrens hurt will neuer craue But with fatherly care admonish them so That selfe conceipt worke not thy ouerthrow Which now adaies doth raigne too much in all No maruell then so many youth doe
