[2]The feare of the king is as the roaring of a Lion, who so prouoketh hym vnto anger, offendeth against his owne soule
[3]It is a mans honour to kepe him selfe from strife: but euery foole wyll be medling
[4]A slouthfull body wyll not go to plow for colde of the winter: therefore shall he begge in sommer, and haue nothing
[5]Counsayle in the heart of man is like deepe water: but a man of vnderstanding wyll drawe it out
[6]Many there be that woulde be called good doers: but where shall one finde a faythfull man
[7]The chyldren of the iust man which walketh vprightly, shalbe blessed after hym
[8]A kyng that sitteth in the throne of iudgement, chaseth away all euyll with his looke
[9]Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from [my] sinne
[10]Two maner of wayghtes or two maner of measures, both these are abhomination vnto the Lorde
[11]A chylde is knowen by his conuersation, whether his workes be pure and right
[12]The eare to heare, the eye to see: the Lorde hath made them both
[13]Loue not sleepe, lest thou come vnto pouertie: but open thyne eyes, that thou mayest haue bread inough
[14]It is naught, it is naught (saith he that byeth): but when he commeth to his owne house, then he boasteth [of his peny worth.
[15]There is golde, and a multitude of precious stones: but the lippes of knowledge are a precious iewell

[17]A man liketh the bread that is gotten with deceipt: but at the last his mouth shalbe filled with grauell
[18]Thorowe counsayle, the thinges that men deuise are made strong: and with good aduise take warre in hande
[19]The craftie deceiptfull bewrayeth secrete counsayle: therefore meddle not with hym that flattereth with his lips
[20]Who so curseth his father and mother, his light shalbe put out in the depth of darknesse
[21]The heritage that commeth hastylye at the first, shall not be blessed at the ende
[22]Say not thou, I wyll recompence euyll: but put thy trust in the Lorde, and he shall deliuer thee
[23]Diuers wayghtes are an abhomination vnto the Lord, and a false balaunce is not good
[24]The Lord ordereth euery mans goinges: how can a man then vnderstand his owne way
[25]It is a snare for a man to deuour that whiche is holy, and after the vowe to make inquirie
[26]A wyse kyng disperseth the vngodly, and bringeth the wheele ouer them
[27]The lanterne of the Lorde is the breath of man, searching all the inwarde partes of the body
[28]Mercy and trueth preserueth the king, and with louing kindnes his seate is holden vp
[29]The strength of young men is their worship, and a gray head is an honour vnto the aged
[30]Blewe woundes driue away euyll, and stripes in the inwarde partes of the body
