fortune Many tyrauntes haue bene faine to sitte downe vpon the earth and the vnlikly haue worne the crowne Many mighty men haue bene brought lowe and the honorable haue bene deliuered into other mens handes There is some man that laboureth and the more he werieth him selfe the lesse he hath Againe some man is slouthfull hath nede of help wanteth strength hath great pouertie and Gods eye loketh vpon him to good setteth him from his low estate lifteth vp his head so that many men maruell at him and geue honour vnto God. Continue not in the workes of sinners but put thy trust in God and bide in thine estate for it is but an easy thing in the sight of God to make a poore man rich and that sodenly Some man getteth a fall for being to proude and some commeth to worship from low estate Some man is apt and well enstructed in many things and yet very vnprofitable vnto him selfe Some man there is that can geue wise and prudent counsell and yet is he hated and continueth a beggar for the grace is not geuen him of God to be accepted An other is robbed of all wisedome yet is he wise vnto him selfe and the fruit of vnderstanding is commendable in his mouth Friendship HE is a friend that alway loueth and in aduersitie a man shall know who is his brother A brother though he be greeued with offence yet is he more worth then a very strong castell and they that holde togither are like the barre of a pallace A man that loueth his friendes will be companable with them and some friende sticketh faster to a man then his brother Faythfull are the woundes of a louer but the kisses of an enemy are cruell Balme sweete incense make the heart merry so is the sweete counsell of a mans friende that agreeth to his purpose Thine own friend and thy fathers friend see thou forsake not but goe not into thy brothers house in time of trouble for better is a friende at hande then a brother a farre of Two are better then one for they may well enioye the profite of their labour For if one of them fall his companion helpeth him vp againe But woe is him that is alone for if he fall he hath not an other to helpe him vppe Againe when two sleepe togither they are warme but howe can a body be warme alone one may be ouercome but two may make resistance A threefold gable is not lightly broken Holde friendship with many neuerthelesse haue but one counseller of a thousand If thou gettest a friend proue him first and be not hasty to geue him credence for some man is a friend but for a time will not abide in the day of trouble And there is some friend that turneth to enmitie and taketh part against thee and if he knowe any hurt by thee he telleth it out Againe some friend is but a companion at the table and in the day of neede he continueth not But a sure friend will be vnto thee euen as thine owne selfe and deale faithfully with thy houshold folke If thou suffer trouble and aduersitie he is with thee Depart from thyne enemies yea and beware of thy friendes A faithfull friende is a stronge defence whoso findeth such one findeth a treasure A faithfull friend hath no peare the weight of golde and siluer is not to be compared to the goodnes of his faith A faithfull friende is a medicine of life and they that feare the Lorde shall finde him Whoso feareth the Lorde shall prosper with friendes and as he is him selfe so shall his friend be also Geue not ouer thy friend for any good nor thy faithfull brother for the best golde Forsake not an olde friend for the newe shall not be like him A newe friend is new wine let him be olde and thou shalt drinke him with pleasure Tell thy friend his fault lest he be ignoraunt and say I haue not done it or if he haue spoken that he doe it no more Loue thy friend and binde thy selfe in faithfulnes with him but if thou bewrayest his secretes thou shalt not get him againe For like as the man is that destroyeth his enemie so is he also that dealeth falsely in the friendship of his neighbour There is some companion which in prosperitie reioyceth with his friend but in the time of trouble he taketh part against him Giftes or revvardes A Reward is a precious stone vnto him that hath 〈◊〉 but vnto whomsoeuer it turneth it maketh him vnwise Whoso rewardeth euill for good the plague shall not depart from his house The vngodly taketh gifts out of the bosome to wrest the waies of iudgement The multitude hangeth vpon great men and euery man fauoureth him that geueth rewardes A priuy rewarde pacifieth displeasure a gift in the bosome stilleth furiousnesse Whoso maketh great boastes and geueth nothing is like cloudes winde without raine God. PUt thy trust in God with all thine hearte and leane not vnto thyne owne witte in all thy wayes haue respect vnto him and he shall order thy goinges Be not wise in thine owne conceite but feare the Lorde and depart from euill Euery mans wayes are open in the sight of the Lorde and he pondereth all their goings The eyes of the Lorde looke on euery place beholding both the good and badde The hell with her paine is knowen vnto the lord how much more then the hearts of mē A man may well purpose a thing in his heart but the answere of the tongue commeth of the Lord. A man thinketh all his wayes to be cleane but it is the Lorde that iudgeth the minde Commit thy workes vnto the Lord and loke what thou deuisest it shall prosper Say not thou I will recompence euill but put thy trust in the Lorde and he shall defend thee He that feareth men shall haue a fall but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord is without daunger Though an euill person offend an hundred times God defer geuing him long life yet am I sure that it shall goe wel with them that feare God because they haue him before their eyes Feare God and keepe his commaundements for that toucheth all men for God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges whether they be good or euill Submit thy selfe vnto God and waite vpon his hande Loue God all thy life long and call vpon him in thy neede Say not thou it is the Lordes fault that I am gone by for thou shalt not doe the thing that God hateth Say not thou he hath caused me to doe wronge for he hath no neede of the vngodly God hateth all abomination of errour and they that feare God will loue none such Mercy and wrath is with him he is both mighty to forgeue to poure out displeasure

sodenly and who knoweth the aduersity that may come from them both It is the honour of God to kepe a thing secrete but the Kinges honour is to search out a thing The heauen is high the earth is deepe and the Kings heart is vnsearchable Take the drosse from the siluer and there shall be a cleane vessell thereof Take away vngodlines from the Kinge and his seate shall be established with righteousnes Like as the roring of a lyon and an hungry beare euen so is an vngodly Prince ouer the poore people Where the prince is without vnderstanding there is great oppression wronge but if he be such a one as hateth couetousnesse he shall long raigne With true iudgement the King setteth vp the land but if he be a man that oppresseth the people with gatheringes he turneth it vpside downe The seat of the King that faithfully iudgeth the poore shall continue sure for euermore It is not for Kinges it is not I say for Kings to drinke wine nor Princes strong drinke for there is no secrete where drunkennes raineth lest they being drunken forget the lawe and peruert the iudgement of all poore mens children Woe be vnto thee O land whose King is but a child whose princes are earely at their bankettes But well is thee O land whose King is come of nobles and whose Princes eate in due season for necessitie and not for lust Labour looke more in slouthfulnesse WHat hath a man else that doth any thing but werines labour For as touching the trauell and carefulnesse which God hath geuen vnto men I see that he hath geuen it them to be exercised in it All that a man eateth and drinketh yea whatsoeuer a man enioyeth of all his labour that same is a gift of God. I perceaue that there is nothing better for a man then to be ioyfull in his labour for that is his portion Lavve of God and man. THe law is a wel of life vnto the wise that it may keepe him from the snares of death Be not hasty to goe to the lawe lest happly thou doe some offence after the strife be ended whereby thy neighbour put thee to shame Handle thy matter with thy neighbour him selfe and discouer not an other mans secret lest when men heare therof it turn to thy dishonour and lest thine euill name doe not cease They that forsake the law praise the vngodly but such as kepe the law abhorre them Whoso keepeth the lawe is a childe of vnderstanding but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father He that turneth away his eare from hearing the lawe his prayer shall be abominable If a wise man goe to lawe with a foole whether he deale with him frendly or roughly he getteth no rest When the worde of God is not preeched the people perish but well is him that keepeth the lawe All the wordes of God are pure and cleane for he is a shield vnto all them that put their trust in him Put thou nothing vnto his wordes lest he reproue thee and thou be found a liar Let thy minde be vpon the commaundements of God and be earnestly occupied in his lawes so shall he establish thy heart and geue thee wisedom at thine owne desire Goe not to lawe with the iudge for he will iudge according to his owne honour A crafty subtell man can be wise but he is vnrighteous and with giftes he wrasteth the open and manifest law Lending and borovving WHoso will shewe mercy let him lende vnto his neighbour and he that is able let him keepe the commaundement Lende vnto thy neighbour in time of his neede and pay thou thy neighbour againe in due season Keepe thy worde and deale faithfully with him and thou shalt alway finde the thing that is necessary for thee There haue ben many that when a thing was lent them reckened it to be founde and made them trauaile and labour that had helped them While they receaue any thing they kisse the handes of such as geue them for their neighboures good they humble their voyce but when they should pay againe they keepe it back and geue euill wordes and make many excuses by reason of time and though he be able yet geueth he scarse the halfe againe and reckeneth the other to be found And if he with holde not his money yet hath he an enemy of him and that vndeserued He payeth him with cursing and rebuke and geueth him euill wordes for his good deede There be many one which are not glad for to lende not because of euill but they feare to lese the thing that they lende yet haue thou pacience with the simple withholde not mercy from him Helpe the poore for the commaundements sake and let him not goe empty from thee because of his necessity Lese thy money for thy brother and neighboures sake and bury it not vnder a stone where it rusteth and corrupteth Liberalitie SOme man geueth out his goodes and is the richer but the nigard hauing enough wil depart from nothing and yet is euer in pouertie He that is liberall in geuing shall haue plenty and he that watereth shall be watered also him selfe Whoso hordeth vp his corne shal be cursed among the people but blessing shall light vpon his head that geueth foode Liberalitie bringeth a man to honour worship and setteth him among great men Be liberal vnto al men liuing yet let not but doe good euen vnto them that are dead Whoso is liberal in dealing out his meat many men shall blesse him and prayse him with their lippes and the same is a sure token of his loue and faithfulnesse Friendlinesse and liberalitie is the encrease and blessing of God is like a paradise and garden of pleasure such mercy also and kindnes endureth for euer Loue and euill vvill EVill wil stirreth vp strife but loue couereth the multitude of sinnes Better is a messe of pottage with loue then a fatte oxe with euill will. Eate thou not with the enuious and desire not his meate for he doth as a man that prescribeth a measure to thee in his heart He sayeth vnto thee eate and drinke where as his heart is not with him Reioyce not thou at the fall of thine enemie and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth lest the Lorde when he seeth it be angry and turne his wrath from him vnto thee Venimous lipps and a wicked heart are like a potshard couered with siluer drosse An enemie shall be knowen by his talking and in the meane season he imagineth mischiefe but when he speaketh faire beleue him not for there are seuen abominations in his heart Whoso keepeth euill will secretely to doe hurte his malice shall be shewed before the whole congregation Be not glad of the death of thine enemy

hearte Grauitie is better then to laugh for when the countenance is heauy the hearte is refourmed The hearte of the wise is in the mourning howse but the hearte of the foolish is in the howse of myrth I commend gladnes because a man hath no better thing vnder the sunne then to eate and drinke to be merry for that shall he haue of his labour all the daies of his life which God geueth him vnder the Sunne Let thy myrth be in the feare of God let the remembrance of God be in thy minde and let all thy talking be in the commaūdementes of the highest Geue not ouer thy minde vnto heauinesse and vexe not thy selfe in thine owne counsaile The ioye and cheerefulnesse of the hearte is the life of man and a mans gladnesse is the prolonging of his dayes Loue thine owne soule and comfort thine hearte as for sorowe and heuinesse driue it farre from the for heuinesse hath slaine many a man and bringeth no profit zeale and anger shorten the daies of the life carefulnesse and sorow bring age before the time vnto a mery hearte euery thing hath a good taste that he eateth Name or fame THe memoriall of the iust shall haue a good reporte but the name of the vngodly shall stinke Like as the clerenesse of the eyes reioyceth the hearte so doth a good name feede the bones A good name is more worth then a precious ointment Labour to get thee a good name for that shal continue surer by thee then a thousand great treasures of golde A good life hath a nomber of dayes but a good name endureth for euer Neighbour INtend no hurt vnto thy neighbour seeing he doth dwell in rest by thee striue not lightly with any without a cause where as he hath done thee no harme Whoso despiseth his neighbour doth amisse but blessed is he that hath pity on the poore The soule of the vngodly wisheth euill and hath no pitie vpon his neighbour Thou shalt not remoue the land marke which thy forelders haue set Withdrawe thy foote from thy neighbours house lest he be weary of thee and so abhorre thee Whoso beareth false witnesse against his neighbour he is a very clubbe a sword and a sharpe arrow Be not ashamed of thy neighbour in his aduersitie and keepe not backe thy counsell when it may doe good Be not thy neighbours enemye for thy friendes sake for whoso is euill shall be the heire of rebuke and dishonour and whosoeuer beareth enuie and a double tongue offendeth If thou hast heard a worde against thy neighbour let it be dead within thee and be sure thou shalt haue no harme thereby Reproue thy neighbour that he keepe his tongue and if he haue spoken that he say it no more tell thy neighbour his fault for oft times an offence is made and geue not credence to euery word Be faithfull vnto thy neighbour in his pouertie that thou mayst reioyce with him also in his prosperitie Forgeue thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done to thee and so shall thy sinnes be forgeuen thee also when thou prayest Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine and despise him not in his mirth geue him no despitefull wordes and preasse not vpon him with contrary sayings Whoso robbeth his neighbour of his liuing doth as great sinne as though he slew him to death Obedience and rule WHen the righteous haue the ouer hand the people are in prosperitie but when the vngodly beareth rule then the people mourne I must keepe the Kinges commaundemēt the oth that I haue made vnto God. Wish the King no euill in thy thought and speake no hurt of the rich in thy priuy chamber for a birde of the ayre shal betray thy voyce and with her fethers shall she bewray thy wordes Humble thy soule vnto thy elder bow downe thy head to a man of worship Withstande not the face of the mighty and striue thou not against the streame Like as snow is not meete in Sommer nor raine in haruest euen so is worship vnseemely for a foole Pacience THe pacient abiding of the righteous shall be turned to gladnesse but the hope of the vngodly shall perish He that is pacient hath much vnderstanding but he that is soone displeased prouoketh foolishnesse An angry man stirreth vp strife but he that is pacient stilleth discord A pacient man is better then one strong he that can rule him selfe is more worth then he that winneth a citie A wise man can put of displeasure and it is his honour to let some faultes passe With pacience is a Prince pacified and with a soft tongue is rigorousnes broken Pouertie HE that hath pitie vpon the poore lendeth vnto the Lorde and looke what he layeth out it shall be payed him againe Who so stoppeth his eares at the crying of the poore he shall cry him selfe and not be hearde Who so doth a poore man wrong to increase his owne richesse and giueth vnto the riche to please him at the last commeth to pouertie him selfe One poore man oppressing an other by violence is like a continuall raine that destroyeth the fruite A poore mā leading a godly life is better then the riche that goeth in froward waies He that geueth vnto the poore shall not lacke but he that turneth away his eyes from suche as be in necessitie shall suffer greate pouertie him selfe The poore is honoured for his faithfulnesse but the riche is had in reputation because of his goodes He that ordereth him selfe honestly in pouertie how much more shall he behaue him selfe honestly in richesse The wild asse is the lyōs pray in the wildernesse euen so are poore men the meat of the riche Like as the proude may not away with lowlinesse euē so do the riche abhorre the poore If a riche man fall his frendes set him vp againe But when the poore falleth his acquaintāce forsake him If a riche man fall into errour he hath many helpers he speaketh proude wordes and yet men iustifie him But if a poore man go wrong he is punished yea though he speake wisedome yet can it haue no place When the riche man speaketh euery man holdeth his tongue and loke what he saieth they praise it vnto the cloudes But if the poore man speake they say what fellow is this and if he do amisse they shall destroy him The prayer of the poore goeth out of the mouth and cōmeth vnto the eares of God and his defence shall come and that hastly Prayse LEt another man prayse thee and not thyne owne mouth yea other folkes lippes and not thyne He that is to hasty to praise his neighbour aboue measure shall be taken as one that geueth him an euill reporte Siluer is tried in the moulde

suertie and the vnthankefull and ignoraunt leaueth his suertie in daunger Some man promiseth for his neighbour and when he hath lost his honestie he shall forsake him Suertiship hath destroyed many a riche man remoued them as the sea Mighty people hath it driuen away caused them to wander in straung cuntries An vngodly man transgressing the commaundement of the Lord shal fall into the suertiship and though he force him selfe to get out yet shall he fall into the iudgement Helpe thy neighbour out after thy power and beware that thou thy selfe fall not into such debt Swearing LEt not thy mouth be accustomed with swearīg for in it there are many falls Let not the naming of God be continually in thy mouth and meddle not with the names of Saincts for thou shalt not be excused of them for like as a seruant which is oft punished can not be without some sore euen so what soeuer he be that sweareth and nameth God shall not be cleane purged from sinne A man that vseth much swearing shall be filled with wickednesse and the plague shall neuer goe from his house If he begyle his brother his fayth shal be vpon him If he knowledge not his sinne he maketh a double offence and if he sweare in vayne he shall not be found righteous for his house shall be full of plagues The words of the swearer bringeth death Tyme EVery thing hath a time yea all that is vnder the heauen hath his conuenient

and a time of peace Say not thou What is the cause that the dayes of the olde tyme were better then they be nowe for that were no wise question Truth and lying A Iust man wil tel the truth and shew the thinge that is right but a false witnesse deceaueth The Lord abhorreth lying lippes but they that labour for truth please him My sonne make much of the time eschew the thing that is euill and for thy life shame not to say the truth In no wise speake against the worde of truth but be ashamed of the lyes of thyne owne ignoraunce A lye is a wicked shame in a man yet shall it be euer in the mouth of the vnwise A theefe is better then a man that is accustomed to lye but they both shall haue destruction to heritage The condicions of lyars are vnhonest and their shame is euer with them Accept not leasing against thy brother neither doe the same against thy friend Vse not to make any maner of lye for the custome thereof is not good All brybes and vnrighteousnesse shall be put away but faithfulnesse and truth shall endure for euer Vanitie of the world ALl is but most vayne vanitie sayth the preacher and all is most vayne I say and but plaine vanitie Then said I thus in my heart Now go to I will take myne ease and haue good dayes But loe that is vanitie also in so much that I sayde vnto the man geuen to laughter thou art mad and to myrth what doest thou So I thought in my heart to geue my selfe vnto wine and agayne to apply my minde vnto wisedome and to comprehende foolishnes vntill the tyme that amonge all the thinges which are vnder the Sunne I might see what were best for men to doe so long as they liue vnder heauen I made gorgeous fayre works I builded me houses plāted vineyardes I made me orchardes and gardens of pleasure and planted trees in them of all maner fruites I made pooles of water to water the grene fruitful trees withal I bought seruaunts and maydens and had a greate housholde As for cattell and sheepe I had more substāce of them then all they that were before me in Ierusalem I gathered siluer and golde together euen a treasure of kinges and landes I prouided me singers and women which coulde plaie on instrumentes to make men mirth and pastime I gatte me psalteries and songes of musicke And I was greater and in more worshippe then all my predecessours in Ierusalē For wisedome remained with one and looke what soeuer mine eyes desired I let them haue it and wherin soeuer my hearte delited or had any pleasure I withhelde it not from it Thus my hearte reioysed in all that I did and this was my portion of all my trauaile But when I considered all the workes that my handes had wrought and all the labour that I had taken therein lo all was but vanitie and vexacion of minde and nothing of any value vnder the Sunne What getteth a man of all the labour and trauaile of his minde that he taketh vnder the Sunne but heauinesse sorowe and disquietnesse all the dayes of his life in so muche that his hearte cannot rest in the night this is also a vaine thing is it not better then for a man to eate and drinke and his soule to be mery in his labour yea I sawe that this also was a gift of God. Vaine are all men which haue not the knowledge of God. Wife good BE glad with the wife of thy youth let her breasts alway satisfie thee holde thee euer content with her loue A gracious womā mainteineth honesty as for the wicked they mainteine riches A housewifely woman is a crowne vnto her husband but shee that behaueth he selfe vnhonestly is a corruption in his bones Wise women vpholde their house but a foolish wife plucketh it downe Who so findeth a good wife findeth a good thing and receaueth a wholesome benefite of the Lorde He that putteth away a good woman putteth away a good thing but he that keepeth an harlot is a foole and vnwise House and riches may a man haue by the heritage of his elders but a discrete womā is the gifte of the Lorde Departe not from a discrete and good woman that is fallen vnto thee for thy portion in the feare of the Lorde for the gift of her honestie is aboue golde If thou haue a wife after thine owne minde forsake her not but commit not thy selfe to the hatefull Happie is the man that hath a vertuous wife for the numbre of his yeares shall be double An honest woman
