17Consider that I laboured not for my selfe onely, but for all them that seeke learning; 18Heare me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your eares ye rulers of the Congregation: 19Giue not thy sonne, and wife, thy brother and friend power ouer thee while thou liuest, and giue not thy goods to another, lest it repent thee: and thou intreat for the same againe. 20As long as thou liuest and hast breath in thee, giue not thy selfe ouer to any. 21For better it is that thy children should seeke to thee, then that thou shouldst stand to their courtesie.
