HE that by vsury and vniuste gaynes gathe∣reth ryches, he shall laye them in store for a man that wyll pitie the poore.
He that turneth awaye his eare from hearyng the lawe, his prayer shall be abhominable.
He that hydeth his synnes, shall not prosper but whoso knowlegeth them, and forsaketh them shall haue mercye.
Lyke as a roarynge Lyon, and an hungrye beare, euen so is an vngodly prince ouer the poore people.
Where the prince is without vnderstanding, there is greate oppression and wronge, but yf he be suche a one as hateth couetousnesse, he shall longe raygne.
He that maketh to muche haste to be ryche, shall not be vngylty.
He that geueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke, but he that turneth away his eyes from suche as be in necessitie, shal suffre great pouertie himself.
