| [1]He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end. |
[1]Who so loueth his child, holdeth hym still vnder correction, that he may haue ioy of him afterwarde, and that he grope not after his neyghbours doores. |
| [2]He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance. |
[2]He that teacheth his sonne shall haue ioy in hym, and neede not to be ashamed of him among his aquayntaunce. |
| [3]He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. |
[3]Who so enfourmeth and teacheth his sonne, greeueth the enemie: and before his friendes he may haue ioy of him. |
| [4]Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. |
[4]Though his father dye, yet is he as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behinde him that is like hym. |
| [5]While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful. |
[5]In his lyfe he sawe him and had ioy in him, and was not sory in his death, neither was he ashamed before the enemies. |
| [6]He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends. |
[6]For he left behynde hym an auenger against his enemies, and a good doer vnto the friendes. |
| [7]He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry. |
[7]For the lyfe of children, he shall bynde the woundes together, and his heart is greeued at euery crye. |
| [8]An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful. |
[8]An vntamed horse will be harde, and a wanton childe will be wilfull. |
| [9]Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness. |
[9]If thou bring vp thy sonne delicately, he shal make thee afrayde: and if thou play with hym, he shall bring thee to heauinesse. |
| [10]Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. |
[10]Laugh not with hym, lest thou wepe with hym also, & lest thou gnashe with thy teeth at the last. |
| [11]Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies. |
[11]Geue him no libertie in his youth, and excuse not his follie. |
| [12]Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart. |
[12]Bowe downe his necke whyle he is young, hyt him vpon the sides whyle he is yet but a childe, lest he waxe stubburne, & geue no more force of thee, & so shalt thou haue heauinesse of soule. |
| [13]Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee. |
[13]Teach thy childe, and be diligent therein, lest it be to thy shame. |
| [14]Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body. |
[14]Better is the poore beyng whole and strong, then a man to be riche, and not to haue his health: |
| [15]Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth. |
[15]Health and welfare is aboue all golde, and a whole body aboue all treasure. |
| [16]There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart. |
[16]There is no riches aboue a sounde body, and no ioy aboue the ioy of the heart. |
| [17]Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness. |
[17]Death is better then a bitter lyfe, and eternall rest better then continuall sickenesse. |
| [18]Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave. |
[18]The good thinges that are put in a close mouth, are lyke as when meate is layde vpon the graue. |
| [19]What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord. |
[19]What good doth the offering vnto an idoll? for he can neither eate, tast, nor smell: Euen so is he that is chased of the Lorde, and beareth the rewardes of iniquitie. |
| [20]He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth. |
[20]He seeth with his eyes, and groneth like a gelded man, that lyeth with a virgin, and sygheth. |
| [21]Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel. |
[21]Geue not ouer thy mynde into heauinesse, and vexe not thy selfe in thyne owne counsell. |
| [22]The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days. |
[22]The ioy & chearefulnesse of the heart is the lyfe of man, and a mans gladnesse is the prolonging of his dayes. |
| [23]Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein. |
[23]Loue thyne owne soule, and comfort thyne heart: as for sorowe & heauinesse, dryue it farre from thee, for heauinesse hath slayne many a man, and bringeth no profite. |
| [24]Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth age before the time. |
[24]Zeale and anger shorten the dayes of the lyfe: carefulnesse and sorowe bring age before the time. |
| [25]A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet. |
[25]Unto a mery heart euery thing hath a good tast that he eateth. |
