Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.

The righteous teacheth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their euill.

The rewarde of humilitie, and the feare of God is riches, and glory, and life.

The glorie of God is to conceale a thing secret: but the Kings honour is to search out a thing.

Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.

Least I be full, & denie thee, and say, Who is the Lorde? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.

And I haue giuen mine heart to search and finde out wisdome by all things that are done vnder the heauen: (this sore trauaile hath GOD giuen to the sonnes of men, to humble them thereby)

There is no profit to man: but yt he eate, and drinke, & delight his soule with the profit of his labour: I saw also this, yt it was of the hand of God.

Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giueth wisdome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner he giueth paine, to gather, and to heape to giue to him that is good before God: this is also vanitie, and vexation of the spirit.

I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.

He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought fro the beginning euen to the end.

And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.

I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.

What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.

I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.

I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.

Take heede to thy foote when thou entrest into the House of God, and be more neere to heare then to giue the sacrifice of fooles: for they knowe not that they doe euil.

Be not rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hastie to vtter a thing before God: for God is in the heauens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy wordes be fewe.

When thou hast vowed a vowe to God, deferre not to pay it: for he deliteth not in fooles: pay therefore that thou hast vowed.

Suffer not thy mouth to make thy flesh to sinne: neither say before the Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God bee angry by thy voyce, and destroy the worke of thine hands?
