10If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee, and be bold it will not burst thee. 11A foole trauaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child. 12As an arrowe that sticketh in a mans thigh, so is a word within a fooles belly. 13Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it, and if he haue [done it] that he doe it no more. 14Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it, and if he haue, that he speake it not againe.
