1Striue not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands. 2Bee not at variance with a rich man, lest he ouerweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and peruerted the hearts of kings. 3Striue not with a man that is full of tongue, and heape not wood vpon his fire. 4Iest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestours be disgraced. 5Reproch not a man that turneth from sinne, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment.
