Illecebra mali.

As the old cock crowes the young learnes.

Like dogs, if one barke all barke.

It is a good horse that ne∣ver stumbleth.

One bit drawes downe an∣other.

Set up a candle before the Devil

Shew me a lyar and i'le shew you a thiefe.

He that will steale an egge will steale an oxe.

The common people look at the steeple.

Obscitante uno deinde oscitat & alter.

Nemo mortalium omni∣bus horis sapit.

Quindoque bonus dor∣mitat Homerus.

Circea pocula.

Morbida sola pecus infi∣cit omne pecus.

Periculosum est canem intestina gustâsse.

Syrenas praeternavigare

Aliquando qui lusit ite∣rum ludet.

Trahit sua quemque vo∣luptas.

Stipula flammae proxima ignem concipit.

Ansam praebere.

Pomum Atalantae sequi.

Regis ad exemplum to∣tus componitur orbis.
