The .iii. Chapter.

HOuoure thy father in dede, in woorde, and in all pacience, that thou mayest haue god•• biessyng and his blessyng shall abyde with thece•• the last.

The greater thou art, the more humble thy selfe in all thyngee: and thou shalt fynde fauoure in the sighte of god.

Seeke not oute the thinges that are about thy capacitie, and searche not the grounde of such thynges as are to mightie for thee, but loke what god hath commaunded thee, thynke vpon that al waye, and be not curious in manye of his workes For it is not nedefull for thee to see with thine eyes the thynges that are secrete. Make not thou to muche searche in superfluous thyngee, and be not curious in many of his woorkes, for manye thynges are shewed vnto thee alreadye, which be aboue the capacitie of men. The medlyng with suche hath begyled many a man, and tāgled their wittes in vanitie. Nowe, he that loueth petell shall perishe therein.

God hath respecte vnto hym that is thankful, he thynketh vpon hym, ageynst the tyme to come so that when he falleth, he shall fynde a stronge holde.
