from FOOLS mouth give one that is
wise no room to speak, so too long 81
lence in one that is wise gives fool
opportunity OF speaking, and makes
thee in some measure guilty OF his
folly. To conclude, if thou be not wise
enough to speak, be at least 80 wise as
TO hold thy peace.
3.-oN BEARING ADVERSELY.
Hath fortune dealt thee i'll cards, let
wisdom make thee q good gamester.
In a fair gale every fool may sail but
wise behavior in a storm commends
the wisdom Of a pilot. To bear adver-
sity with an equal mind is both sign
and glory of a bravo spirit. AS there
is no worldly gain without some loss,
80 there is no worldly loss without
some gain. II thou hast lost thy.
wealth, thou hast lost some trouble
with il; il thou art degraded Of thy
honor, thou art likewise freed from
the stroke OF envy; if sickness hath
blurred thy beauty, it hath delivered
thee from pride. Set the allowance
against the loss, and thou shalt find
no great loss. He loseth little or
nothing who keepeth the favor of God,
and the peace and freedom OF his con-
science.
4.-oN ANGER.
Beware of him that is slow TO anger.
Anger, when it is long in coming, is
the stronger when it comes and the
longer kept. Abused patience turns
to fury. When fancy is the ground
OF passion, that understanding which
composes the fancy qualities the pas
sion; but when judgment is on the
ground, the memory is the recorder
and this passion is long retained.
Son SECRET ENEMIES.
He that Processes himself thy open
enemy, arms thee against the evil he
means thee; but he that dissembles
himself thy friend, when he is thy SO.
cret enemy, strikes beyond caution
and wounds above cure. From the
first thou mayest deliver thyself, from
the last good Lord deliver thee.
CON LAW AND PHYsIc.
If thou study law and physic, en-
deavor to know both and to need nci-
ther. Temperate diet, moderate and
reasonable labor, rest and recreation
with Gods blessing, will save thee
from thy physician peaceful dispo.
sition, prudent and just behavior, will
secure thee from the law. Yet, if ne
cessity absolutely compel, thou may.
est use both they that use either 9TH
erwise than for necessity soon abuse
themselves into weak bodies and light
purses.
Ton INCONSISTENCY.
Be not unstable in thy resolutions,
nor various in thy actions, nor ineon-
slant IN thy affections. SO deliberate
tuat thou mayest perform SO perform
that thou mayest preserve. Mutablli-
ty is the badge of inirmity.
S.--cHARITY ALLEGoRIzED.
Charity is naked child giving hon.
ey 20 Doe without wings. Naked,
because excuseless and simple child,

honey, because pleasant and comforta-
BILE; TO bee because bee is indus
trious and deserving; without wings,
because wanting and helpless. II thou
deniest to such thou killest bee II
thou givest TO other than such thou
preservest a drone.
SON DIET AND REGIMEN.
II thou desirest to take the best
advantage Of thyself, especially in
matters where the fancy is most
employed, keep temperate diet use
moderate exercise, observe season
able and set hours for rest, and let the
end of thy first sleep raise thee from
thy repose then hath thy body the
best temper; thy soul the least incum-
brance; then no noise shall disturb
thine ear; no object shall divert thine
eye; then If ever shall thy srrightly
, fancy transport thee beyond the com
mon pitch, and show the majorim Of
. high invention.
: l0.-How TO USE PROPERTY.
So use property that adversely may
not abuse thee. If in prosperity thy
. security admits no fear, in adversely
thy despair will afford no hope h'
that in prosperity can foretell dan
ger can 10 adversely foresec deliver
ancc.
