Pensatio beneficii vel officii.

Pay the old score, and fetch on the new.

Small birds must have meat.

He that hath some land must have some labour.

It's an ill dog that's not worth the whistling.

Set the hares head against the goose jiblits.

He that will borrow must pay.

A pig of your own sow.

He sole a goose and stuck down a feather.

Mend my wages, and I'le mend my work.

One good turne requires an other.

If you'l find, I'le grind.

Doe well and have well.

You shall have as you de∣serve.

Scratch my breech, and I will claw your elbow.

Simul da, & accipe.

Agrum qui arat petit fru∣ctum.

Fricantem refrica.

Botrus oppositus botro∣maturescit.

Hostimentum est opera pro pecunia.

Ut salutabis ita resaluta∣bere.

Ex tuâ officinâ venit.

Nucleum accepit, reliquit mihi putamen.

Quod tibi non vis fieri, alteri ne feceris.

Manus manum fricat.

Gratia gratiam parit.

Senes mutuum friant.

Ut sementem feceris ita metes

Mutuò muli sca bunt.
