He's better with a rake than with a forke.
He can't see wood for trees.
The worst part is within.
He'l never be wise.
When 〈◊〉〈◊〉 head ••aketh all 〈…〉〈…〉 is the worse.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 ••rres no more than Graten stock-fish.
If••••t head little wit.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 were a beare 'twould bite him.
When thrift's i'th field then he's i'th towne.
A leaden head and wooden wit.
Bush naturall more haire than wit.
As dull as a Dutchman.
Foole had never lesse wit in a yeare.
