at the table and els where So that the Bible may seme to containe all thinges necessary to be knowen of vs any maner of way But may we not learne wisedome otherwhere then in the scripture yes truly yet so as S. August writeth de doct Christ cap. vlt. Quicquid homo extra didicerit si noxium est hic damnatur si vtile est hic inuenitur quum ibi quisque inuenerit omnia quae vtiliter alibi didicit multo abundantius ibi inueniet ea quae nusquam aliter inuenire potuit And certes in the reading of Salomon and Iesus Syrach I founde diuers sayinges which be also red in prophane writers as in the Prou. 22. Teach a childe in his youth what way he should goe c. The like is in the Poet Horace Quo semel est imbuta recens seruabit odorem testa diu In Eccle. What manner of man the ruler of the citie is such are they that dwel therein also The same is alleaged by Cicero out of Plato Quales in republica principes tales reliqui solent esse ciues And in Eccle. 12. In heauines trouble a man shall know his friende The same is vsed of Cicero in Lelio Amicus certus in re incerta cernitur Likewise may be sayde of a greate number moe Whereby are vnderstande that the same God which gaue wisedome abundantly vnto Salomon hath likewise powred some sparkes of wisdom into heathen mens hearts whereunto if they had ioyned true knowledge of God then had they bene wise men in deede Yet are not they so greatly to be blamed as those Christians at least wise by name though in deede much worse then heathen or Infidels which reading and hearing the true wisedome of God doe vtter in doing most deuilish policie Nay many english men being Italianate doe proue the prouerbe true to be deuils incarnate hauing more delite in the prince of darkenes set forth by Machiauell or his discourse leading headlong to hell then in Gods word which is the well of wisedome or the euerlasting cōmaundementes which are the entrance vnto it So that a man may see great difference in wisedome which also is noted in Ecclesiasticus 19. after this maner The feare of God is all vvisedome and he that is a rightwise man keepeth the law As for the doctrine of wickednesse it is no wisedom and the prudence of sinners is no good vnderstanding it is but wickednes and abomination blaspheming of wisedom which also is written of the heathen Philosopher Plato Scientia quae est remota à iusticia calliditas potius quam sapientia est appellanda Yet nowe a dayes vice beareth the name of vertue Subtiltie I say hath the countenance of wisedom yea among those which as men say be no small fooles But God in the ende as S. Paule witnesseth Corin. 1. will destroy the wisedom of the wise and wil cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent For the foolishnes of God is wiser then men and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men God graunt that the wise of the world may in the ende be as the foolish whom God hath chosen Yea as Socrates Plato with some other of the best and wisest Philosophers whom notwithstanding their mis beleefe God of his infinite mercy hath receaued to grace as Iustine the Martyr S. Augustine and other haue iudged IAMES 1. IF any of you lacke wisedom let him aske of God which geueth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth and it shall be geuen him VVIS 9. The prayer of Salomon to obtayne wisedom O God of my fathers and Lord of mercies thou that hast made all thinges with thy word and ordayned man thorough thy wisedom that he shoulde haue dominion ouer the creatures which thou hast made that he should order the world according to equitie and righteousnes and execute iudgement with a true heart geue me wisedome which is euer about thy seate and put me not out from among thy children for I thy seruaunt and sonne of thy handmaiden am a feeble person of a short time and too yong to the vnderstanding of iudgement the lawes And though a man be neuer so perfect among the children of men yet if thy wisedome be not with him he shall be nothing regarded O send her out of thy holy heauens and from the throne of thy Maiestie that she may be with me and labour with me that I may knowe what is acceptable in thy sight for she knoweth vnderstandeth all thinges and she shall leade me soberly in my workes and preserue me in her power so shall my workes be acceptable AMEN ADVERSITIE AND prosperitie VSe well the time of prosperitie and remember the time of misfortune for God maketh the one by the other so that a man can finde nothing else Whatsoeuer hapneth vnto thee receaue it suffer in heauines and be patient in thy trouble for like as gold and siluer are tried in the fire euen so are acceptable men in the fornace of aduersitie Beleue in God and he shall helpe thee order thy way aright and put thy trust in him hold fast his feare and grow therein Laugh no man to scorne in the heauines of his soule for god which seeth all things is he that can bring downe and set vppe againe Prosperitie and aduersitie life death pouertie and riches come all of the Lord. When thou art in welfare forget not aduersitie and when it goeth not well with thee haue a good hope that it shal be better In prosperitie a friend shall not be knowen and in aduersitie an enemie shall not be hidd for when a man is in welth it greeueth his enemies but in heauines and trouble a man shall know his friend Aduoutrie A Man that breaketh wedlocke and regardeth not his soule but sayeth Tush who seeth me I am compassed about with darkenesse the walls couer me no body seeth me whom neede I to feare The highest will not remember my sinnes He vnderstandeth not that his eyes see all thinges for all such feare of men driueth away the feare of God from him for he feareth onely the eyes of men and considereth not that the eyes of the Lorde are clearer then the Sunne beholding all the waies of men and the ground of the deepe and loking euen to mens heartes in secrete places An aduouterous woman geueth sweete wordes forsaketh the husband of her youth and forgetteth the countenance of her god for her house is inclined vnto death and her paths vnto hel all they that goe in vnto her come not againe neither take they holde of the way of life Apply not thou thy selfe to the deceitfulnes of a woman for the lippes of an harlot are a dropping hony combe and her throte is more glistering then oyle but at the last she is as bitter as wormewod and her tongue as sharpe as a two edged sworde her

heauines of the heart breaketh strēgth take no heauines to heart driue it away and remember the last thinges forget it not for there is no turning againe Thou shalt do him no good but hurt thy selfe O death how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that seeketh rest and comfort in his substance and riches Vnto the man that hath nothing to vexe him that hath prosperitie in all things yea vnto him that yet is able to receaue meate O death how acceptable and good is thy iudgement vnto the needefull and vnto him whose strength fayleth and that is now in the last age and that all thinges is full of care and fearefulnesse vnto him also that is in despaire and hath no hope nor pacience Be not thou afraid of death remember them that haue bene before thee and that come after thee this is the iudgement of the Lord ouer all flesh And why wouldest thou be against the pleasure of the highest whether it be ten hundred or a thousand yeares death asketh not how long one hath liued Delicate liuing HE that hath pleasure in bankettes shal be a poore man whoso deliteth in wine and delicates shall not be rich He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from a childe shall make him his master at length It is better to goe into an house of mourning then into a banketting house Diet. O Howe well content is a wise man with a litle wine so that in sleepe thou shalt not be sicke thereof nor feele my paine A sweete holsom sleepe shal such a one haue and feele no inward greife He riseth vp betimes in the morning and is well at ease in him selfe But an vnsaciable eater sleepeth vnquietly and hath ache and paine of the body If thou feelest that thou hast eaten to much arise goe thy way cast it out of thy stomacke and take thy rest and it shall ease thee so that thou shalt bring no sicknesse vnto thy body Be not greedy in euery eating and be not to hasty vpon all meates for excesse of meates bringeth sicknesse and gluttonie commeth at the last to an vnmeasurable heate Thorough surfet haue many a one perished but he that dieteth him selfe temperatly prolongeth his life Dissembling DIssembling lippes keepe hatred secretly The innocent dealing of the iust shal leade them but the wickednes of such as dissemble shall be their own destruction Thorough the mouth of the dissembler is his neighbour destroyed A dissembling person wil discouer priuy thinges but he that is of a faithfull heart will keepe counsell The Lorde abhorreth them that be of a fayned heart but he hath pleasure in them that be of an vndefiled conuersation A true mouth is euer constant but a dissembling tongue is soone chaunged A dissembling tongue hateth one that rebuketh him and a flattering mouth worketh mischiefe A wicked man can behaue him selfe humbly and can ducke with his head and yet is but a deceauer within Doings of men looke good men VVHen a mans wayes please the Lorde he maketh his very enemies to be his friendes A man deuiseth a way in his heart but it is the Lorde that ordereth his goings The path of the righteous is to eschew euill and whoso looketh well to his wayes keepeth his owne soule The lottes are cast into the lappe but the ordering thereof standeth all in the Lorde It is a mans worship to doe good better it is to be a poore man then a dissembler Many ther be that would be called good doers but where shall one finde a true faithfull man. Whoso leadeth a godly and an innocent life is righteous and happy shall his children be whom he leaueth behind him Who can say my heart is cleane I am innocent from sinne The Lord ordereth euery mans going how may a man then vnderstand his owne way Euery man thinketh his owne way to be right but the Lord iudgeth the hearts To doe righteousnes and iudgement is more acceptable to the Lord then sacrifice The iust deliteth in doing the thing that is right but ouer the workers of wickednes hangeth destruction A iust man falleth seuen times and riseth vppe againe but the vngodly fall into wickednes If thine enemie hunger feede him if he thirst geue him drink for so shalt thou heap coales of fier vpon his head and the Lorde shall reward thee He that hideth his sinnes shall not prosper but whoso knowledgeth them forsaketh them shall haue mercy Well is him that standeth in awe as for him that hardeneth his heart he shall fall into mischeefe Whoso leadeth a godly and an innocent life shal be saued but he that goeth froward wayes shall once haue a fall Iustifie not thy selfe before God for he knoweth thy heart and desire not to be reputed wise in the presence of the King. Whatsoeuer thou takest in hande remember the ende and thou shalt neuer doe amisse Dreames VNwise people begyle them selues with vaine and deceitfull hope and fooles trust dreames Whoso regardeth dreames is like him that will take holde of a shadow and follow after the winde euen so is it with the appearings of dreames Southsaying witchcraft sorcerie and dreaming is but vanitie like as when a woman trauaileth with childe hath many fantasies in her heart Where as such visions come not of God set not thine heart vpon them Drunkennesse looke more in vvine A Labouring man that is geuen vnto drunkennesse shall not be rich and he that maketh not much of small thinges shall fall by litle and litle Be not thou a wine bibber for wine hath destroyed many a man The fire proueth the hard iron euen so doth wine proue the heartes of the proude when they be drunken Drunkennesse filleth the minde of the foolish with shame and ruine minisheth the strength and maketh woundes Enemie looke more in loue and euill vvill TRust neuer thine enemie For like as iron rusteth so doth his wickednes though he make much crowching and kneeling yet keepe well thy minde and beware of him Sette him not by thee neither let him sitte at thy right hande lest he turne him get thee into thy place take thy roome and seke thy seate and so thou at the last shalt remember my wordes and be pricked at my sayinges An enemie is sweete in his lippes he can make many good wordes and speake many good thinges yea he can weepe with his eyes but in his heart he imagineth howe to throwe thee into the pitt and if he may finde opportunitie he will not be satisfied with bloud If aduersitie come vppon thee thou shalt finde him there first and though he pretende to doe thee helpe yet shall he vndermyne thee He shall shake his heade and clappe his handes ouer thee for very gladnesse and while he maketh many
