| 1 | Hee that loueth his sonne, causeth him oft to feele the rodde, that hee may haue ioy of him in the end. |
| 2 | He that chastiseth his sonne, shall haue ioy in him, and shall reioyce of him among his acquaintance. |
| 3 | He that teacheth his sonne, grieueth the enemie: and before his friends he shall reioyce of him. |
| 4 | Though his father die, yet he is as though hee were not dead: for hee hath left one behinde him that is like himselfe. |
| 5 | While he liued, he saw and reioyced in him: and when he died hee was not sorrowfull. |
| 6 | He left behinde him an auenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindnesse to his friends. |
| 7 | He that maketh too much of his sonne, shall binde vp his wounds, and his bowels wil be troubled at euery cry. |
| 8 | An horse not broken becommeth headstrong: and a childe left to himselfe will be wilfull. |
| 9 | Cocker thy childe, and hee shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heauinesse. |
| 10 | Laugh not with him, lest thou haue sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. |
| 11 | Giue him no liberty in his youth, and winke not at his follies. |
| 12 | Bow downe his necke while hee is young, and beate him on the sides while he is a childe, lest hee waxe stubborne, and be disobedient vnto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart. |
| 13 | Chastise thy sonne, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behauiour be an offence vnto thee. |
| 14 | Better is the poore being sound and strong of constitution, then a rich man that is afflicted in his body. |
| 15 | Health and good state of body are aboue all gold, and a strong body aboue infinite wealth. |
| 16 | There is no riches aboue a sound body, and no ioy aboue the ioy of the heart. |
| 17 | Death is better then a bitter life, or continuall sickenesse. |
| 18 | Delicates powred vpon a mouth shut vp, are as messes of meat set vpon a graue. |
| 19 | What good doth the offering vnto an idole? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord. |
| 19a | — |
| 20 | Hee seeth with his eyes and groneth, as an Eunuch that embraceth a virgine, and sigheth. |
| 21 | Giue not ouer thy mind to heauinesse, and afflict not thy selfe in thine owne counsell. |
| 22 | The gladnesse of the heart is the life of man, and the ioyfulnes of a man prolongeth his dayes. |
| 23 | Loue thine owne soule, and comfort thy heart, remoue sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein. |
| 23a | — |
| 24 | Enuie and wrath shorten the life, and carefulnesse bringeth age before the time. |
| 25 | A cherefull and good heart will haue a care of his meat and diet. |
