CHAP. XI.
1 Directions for charitie. 7 Death in life, 9 and the day of iudgement in the dayes of youth are to be thought on.
1 Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many dayes.1
2 Giue a portion to seuen and also to eight; for thou knowest noc what euill shall be vpon the earth.
4 He that obserueth the wind, shall not sow: and hee that regardeth the clouds, shall not reape.
6 In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.6
7 ¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing is it for the eyes to behold the sunne.
10 Therefore remoue sorrow from thy heart, and put away euill from thy flesh; for child-hood & youth are vanitie.10
