4Wrath is cruell, and anger is outragious: but who is able to stand before enuie? 5Open rebuke is better then secret loue. 6Faithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfull. 7The full soule loatheth an honie combe: but to the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete. 8As a bird that wandreth from her nest: so is a man that wandreth from his place.
