1 Be not thou gelous ouer wicked me, & desyre not thou to be amonge them.

2 For their herte ymagineth to do hurte, & their lippes talke of myschefe.

3 Thorow wysdome an house shalbe buylded, & wt vnderstondinge it shalbe set vp.

4 Thorow discrecion shal ye chabers be fylled wt all costly & pleasaunt riches.

5 A wyse ma is stroge, yee a ma of vnderstodinge is better, the he yt is mightie of stregth.

6 For with discrecion must warres be take in honde, and where as are many yt can geue councell, there is ye victory.
