note :)
He forbids us not to become surety one for another ,
according to the rule of charity ,
but that we consider for whom and after what sort ,
so that the creditor may not be defrauded .(:
note )
snared with the words of thy mouth ,
thou art taken with the words of thy mouth .
*
Doe this nowe ,
my sonne ,
and deliuer thy selfe :
seeing thou art come into the hande of thy neighbour ,

and humble thy selfe ,
and sollicite thy friends .
*
Giue no sleepe to thine eyes ,
nor slumber to thine eyelids .

note )
ant ,
thou sluggard ;
consider her ways ,
and be wise :
*
For shee hauing no guide ,
gouernour ,
nor ruler ,
*

and thy want as It will come in such sort ,
as you are not able to resist it .
an armed man .
*
A naughty person , (
note :)
He shows to what inconvenience the idle persons and sluggards come ,
by calling them unthrifty ,
or the men of Belial ,
and slanderous .(:

a wicked man ,

Thus all his gesture tends to wickedness ,(:

*
The hautie eyes ,
a lying tongue ,
and the hands that shed innocent blood ,
*
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations , (

Meaning ,
the raging affections ,
which carry a man away in such sort that he cannot tell what he does .(:
note )
feet that be swift in running to mischief ,
*
A false witnesse that speaketh lyes ,
and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren .
