and a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence which as it argues him wise for euen a foole when hee holdeth his peace is counted wise and hee that stoppeth his lippes as prudent so it giues him much safetie Hee that keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his foule from affliction yea he keepeth his life where contrarily The mouth of the foole is in the multitude of wordes it babbleth out foolishnesse as it is fedde with it neither hath hee any delight in vnderstanding but that which his heart discouereth and while he bewrayeth it The heart of fooles publisheth his foolishnesse And as he multiplieth words so in many words there cannot want iniquity his mouth still babbleth euill things for either he speaketh froward things or how to lie in wait for blood or in the mouth of the foolish is the rod of pride And what is the issue of it He that openeth his mouth destruction shall bee to him And hee that hath a naughty tongue shall fall into euill for both it shall be cut out and the frowardnesse of it is the breaking of the heart Lastly A fooles mouth is his owne destruction and his lips are a snare for his soule For Actions The modest shall haue honour And tho wee need not say Of laughter thou art mad of ioy what is this thou doest yet Anger is better then laughter for by a sadde looke the heart is made better The heart of the wise therefore is in the house of mourning but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth Reioyce then O yong man in thy youth and let thine heart cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth walke in the wayes of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes but know that for all these things God will bring thee to iudgement §. 3. Humility Pride ouerweening Wherein it is How absurd How dangerous scornefulnesse NExt to the modest is the humble in spirit Hee saith Surely I am more foolish then aman haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me for I haue not learned wisedome and haue not attained to the knowledge of holy things But doth he want it ere the more No With the lowly is wisedome and The eare that hearkeneth to the corrections of life shall lodge among the wise Better it is therefore to bee of an humble mind with the lowely then to diuide the spoyles with the proud for before honour goeth humilitie and hee that confesseth and forsaketh his sinnes shall haue mercy yea the humble of spirit shall inioy glory and the rewarde of humilitie the feare of God is riches and glory and life Contrary whereto There is a generation whose eyes are hautie and their eye lids are lift vp There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceit and yet are not washed from their filthinesse Yea All the wayes of a man are cleane in his own eies but the Lord pondereth the spirits and not sonnely but Many men will boast of their goodnes but It is not good to eate much honie so to search their owne glory is not glory Let another man prayse thee and not thine owne mouth a stranger and not thy owne lips This ouer-weening is commonly incident to great men The rich man is wise in his owne conceit but the poore that hath vnderstanding can trie him Hence it is that he affects singularity According to his desire he that separates himself will seeke and occupy himselfe in all wisedome but Seest thou a man thus wise in his owne conceit there is more hope of a foole then of him yea he is a foole in this In the mouth of the foolish is the rod of pride I thought I will be wise but it went farre from me it is farre off what may it bee and that a wicked foole A hautie looke and a proud heart which is the light of the wicked is sin If therefore thou hast bene foolish in lifting vp thy selfe and if thou hast thought wickedly lay thy hand vpon thy mouth for God hateth an hauty eye yea he so hateth it that al that are proud in heart are an abomination to the Lord and tho hand ioyne in hand they shall not be vnpunished and what punishment shall be bane The Lord will destroy the house of the proud man and his very pride is an argument of his ruine Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty Pride goeth before destruction and an hie mind before the fall Before it yea with it When pride commeth then cōmeth shame Now the height of pride is scornefulnesse Hee that is proud and haughty scornefull is his name who worketh in the pride of his wrath and this man despiseth his neighbour and therefore is destitute of understanding when the wicked commeth then commeth contempt and with the vile man is reproche but of all him that reproues him Hee that reproueth a scorner purchaseth to himselfe shame and hee that rebuketh the wicked getteth himselfe a blo● therefore Iudgements are prepared for the scorners and stripes for the backe of fooles so as others are hurt by his sinne for a scornefull man bringeth a whole citie into a snare so they shall bee likewise bettered by his iudgement when the scorner is punished the foolish is wise §. 4 Continency of Lust of Anger with their cōtraries OF the first kind is hee that drinkes the waters of his owne cisterne that desires not the beautie of a stranger in his heart neither lets her take him with her eye-lids contrarily the incōtinent is he that delights in a strange woman imbraces the bosome of a stranger or she that forsakes the guide of her youth and forgetteth the couenant of God shee lyeth in wait for a pray and shee increaseth the trangressers amongst men For a whore is as a deepe ditch a strange woman as a narrow pit Yea I finde more bitter then death the woman whose heart is as nets and snares and whose hands as bands hee that is good before God shall bee deliuered from her but the sinner shall be taken by her Of the second is he that is slow to anger slow to wrath whose discretion differreth his anger and whose glory is to passe by an offence which moderation as it argues him to bee of great wisedome for wise men turne away wrath so it makes him better then the mightie man and procures him iust honour for It is the honour of a man to cease from strife cōtrary to which is he that is of an hasty spirit to be angry which as it proues him foolish for anger resteth
