Looke before you leape.
He hath an eye behind him.
By wisdome peace, by peace plenty.
A close mouth catcheth no flies.
As good kisse a knaue as be troubled with him.
Please the good and care not.
Old birds are not caught with chaffe.
You have not a foole in hand.
Wise men are caught in wiles.
No man is wise at all times
You••e be wiser now you're wed.
Good take-heed, doth su∣rely speed.
He is an ill cook that can't licke his own fingers.
Hee that hath a staffe may beat away a knave.
Time and experience makes men wise.

Can't you fare well but you must cry rost-meat?
Hee that provides not a cloak before the raine, may chance to be wet to his cost.
You'l needs be a man before your time.
A wise mariner can fit his sayles to every wind.
Hee knowes your meaning before you speake.
He that knew what would be deare, need be a chap∣man but a yeare.
Prima foelicitatis mater sapere.
A fronte simul & occipi∣tio.

Columbinus oculus in serpentino corde.
Alter Janus.
In occipitio oculos gerit.
Sapiens non eget.
Non pluet post noctem quâ sus agrestis pepe∣rerit.
Cretiza cum Cretensi.
Certa bonis laus est, dis∣plicuisse malis.
Cor canum in juvenili corpore.
Vulpes haud corrumpi∣tur muneribus.
Sed non augurio potuit depellere pestem.
Sparge marite nuces.
Timidi mater non flet.
Frustra sapit qui sibi non sapit.
Senum consilia juvenum lanceae.
Crania bina gerit & in∣numeros oculos.
Cum vulpe habens com∣mercium, dolos cave.

Qui sitiunt silentio bi∣bunt.
Sapientes sunt qui veteri vino utuntur.
Prius panis pinsendus quam de prora dicen∣dum.
Figulus ollis ansas pro vo∣luntate ponit.
Elephantinâ olfacere pro∣muscide.
Mens coeli terraeque re∣gina.
