[1] A man may wel purpose a thyng in his heart: but the aunswere of the tongue commeth of the Lorde
[2] A man thynketh all his wayes to be cleane: but it is the Lorde that iudgeth the myndes
[3] Commit thy workes vnto the Lorde: and what thou deuisest it shall prosper
[4] The Lorde hath made all thynges for his owne sake: yea, the vngodly for the day of wrath
[5] The Lorde abhorreth all such as be of a proude heart: and though hande be ioyned in hande, yet they shall not be vnpunished
[6] With mercie and faythfulnesse sinnes be forgeuen: and by the feare of the Lorde euyll is eschewed
[7] When a mans wayes please the Lord, he maketh his very enemies to be his frendes
[8] Better it is to haue a litle with ryghteousnesse, then great rentes wrongfully gotten
[9] A man deuiseth a way in his heart: but it is the Lorde that ordereth his goynges
[10] When the prophecie is in the lippes of the kyng, his mouth shall not go wrong in iudgement
[11] A true wayght and ballaunce are the Lordes iudgement: all the wayghtes of the bagge are his worke
[12] Wicked doers are an abhomination to the kyng, for a kynges seate shoulde be holden vp with ryghteousnesse
[13] Ryghteous lippes are pleasaunt vnto kynges, and them that speaketh the trueth shall he loue
[14] The kinges displeasure is a messenger of death: but a wise man wyll pacifie hym
[15] The chearfull countenaunce of the kyng is life: and his louyng fauour is as a cloude of the latter rayne
[16] To haue wisdome in possession, is better then to haue golde: and to get vnderstandyng, is rather to be chosen then to haue siluer
[17] The path of the ryghteous is to eschewe euyll, and who so loketh well to his wayes, kepeth his owne soule
[18] Pryde goeth before destruction, and an hygh mynde before the fall
[19] Better it is to be of humble mynde with the lowly, the to deuide the spoyles with the proude
[20] He that handleth a matter wisely obteyneth good: and blessed is he that putteth his trust in the Lorde
[21] Who so is wyse in heart, shalbe called prudent: and the sweetnesse of his lippes encreaseth learnyng
[22] Vnderstandyng is a well of lyfe vnto hym that hath it: as for the chastenyng of fooles it is but foolishnesse
[23] A wyse heart ordereth his mouth wisely, and ministreth learnyng vnto his lippes
[24] Fayre wordes are an hony combe, a refresshyng of the mynde, and health of the bones
[25] There is a way that men thynke to be ryght: but the ende therof leadeth vnto death
[26] A troublous soule disquieteth her selfe, for her owne mouth hath brought her therto
[27] An vngodly person stirreth vp euyll, and in his lippes he is as an hotte burnyng fyre
[28] A frowarde body causeth strife: and he that is a blabbe of his tongue maketh deuision among princes
[29] A wicked man beguyleth his neyghbour, and leadeth hym into the way that is not good
[30] He shutteth his eyes to deuise mischiefe: and moueth his lippes to bryng euyll to passe
[31] Age is a crowne of worshyp, yf it be founde in the way of ryghteousnesse
[32] A patient man is better the one strong: and he that can rule hym selfe, is more worth then he that wynneth a citie
[33] The lottes are cast into the lappe: but the orderyng therof standeth all in the Lorde
