Beneficentia. Beneficium corrup∣tum vel malè collocatum.
'Tis not all saved that's put i'th purse.
A kind heart loseth nought at last.
He that doth lend will lose his freind.
Kindnesse is lost that's be∣stowed on children and old folkes.
A penny at a pinch is worth a pound.
Eaten bread is forgotten.
To stop two mouths with one Morsell.
To stop two gaps with one bush.
God sends meat and the Devil sends Cookes.
God asketh corne, and the Devil marres the sack.
Into the mouth of a bad dog, often falls a good bone.
Good hand good hire.
Benefits bind.
Doe the best I can I am co••'d no thanke.
To kisse a mans wife, or wipe his knife, is a thanklesse office.

Like Saint like offering.
Great men have their ends when they countenance the poore.
Every man ••asteth the fat hogg—
You grease the fat sow i'th taile.

Pecuniam in loco negli∣gere, maximum laepè est lucrum.
Perdidisti vinum infusâ aquâ.
Bis dat qui citò dat.
Unâ fideliâ duos parie∣tes dealbare.
Unicâ filiâ duos parare generos.
Nullum est bonum quo quis malè non utatur.
Panis lapidosus.
Beneficia veneficia.
Canem alit peregrinum.

Capra Scyria.
Ob res p••rtandas asini vocitantur ad aulas.
Colubrum in sinu fove∣re.
Dantur opes nullis nunc nisi divitibus.
— Vide liberalitas. Mu∣nus. Ingratit.
