7And hee will shame thee by his meates, vntill he haue drawen thee drie twice or thrice, and at the last hee will laugh thee to scorne: afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee. 8Beware that thou bee not deceiued, and brought downe in thy iolitie. 9If thou be inuited of a mighty man, withdraw thy selfe, and so much the more will he inuite thee. 10Presse thou not vpon him, lest thou be put backe, stand not farre off, lest thou be forgotten. 11Affect not to be made equall vnto him in talke, and beleeue not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling vpon thee will get out thy secrets.
