1 My sonne, forget not my lawe, but se yt thine hert kepe my comaundemetes.

2 For they shal prologe ye dayes & yeares of yi lyfe, & brynge ye peace.

3 Let mercy & faithfulnes neuer go from ye: bynde the about yi necke, & wryte them in the tables of thine herte.

4 So shalt thou fynde fauor and good vnderstondinge in ye sight of God and men.

5 Put thy trust in ye LORDE with all thine herte, and leane not vnto thine owne vnderstondinge.

6 In all thy wayes haue respecte vnto him, and he shal ordre thy goinges.

7 Be not wyse in thine owne conceate, but feare ye LORDE and departe from euell:

8 so shal thy nauel be whole, and thy bones stronge.

9 Honoure the LORDE wt yi substaunce, & wt ye firstlinges of all thine encrease:

10 so shal thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse, and thy presses shal flowe ouer with swete wyne.
