Burthen not thy selfe aboue thy power whilst thou liuest: neither keepe company* 1.2 with one that is mightier & richer then thy selfe: for, howe agree the Kettle and the earthen pot••e together? for if the one bee smitten against the other, it shall be bro∣ken.
Say not, I haue enough, & possesse ma∣ny* 1.3 things, & what euill can come vnto me heereafter?
In thy good state remember aduersitie,* 1.4 and in aduersitie, forget not prosperitie.
When thou hast enough, remember the* 1.5 time of hunger; and when thou art rich, thinke vpon pouertie and neede: from the morning vntill the euening, the time is changed; & all such things are soone done before the Lord.
