SILENCE.

REceyue not a swalowe into thy house, that is to say, ha e not in thy house clatterers and men full of language.

An yl man is sooner vanquished with silence then with answeres: for malice is sooner styred with woordes than re∣fourmed.

Like is a citie is which standeth wyde open, & is not compassed with walles: so is a man, which can not kepe s•••• lence.
