Fortunata stultitia.
He that is borne to be hang'd shall never be drown'd.
'Tis better through hap then good husbandry.
Fooles are fortunate.
Fortune sometimes fa∣vours fooles.
Tradesmen live upon lack.
Give a man fortune and cast him into the sea.

Hap and half-penny goods enough.
A drunken man seldome catcheth harme.
Naught is never in danger
It will last longer than a better thing.
A rich curmudgeon.
His treasure saw neither fun nor moon this many a day.
Quem fortuna nigrum scripserit, hunc non universum aevum can∣didum potest reddere.
Annus producit segetem, non ager.
Contingit & malis vena∣tio.
Si lubeat servare, procul quo{que} numina possunt.
