A-MONGST all | other | things in this world, 19 | take | care of thy es- | tate, which | thou shalt | ever pre- | serve | if thou ob- | serve | three | things. | to First, that thou | know | what thou hast and what | | everything thou | hast is | worth, see that thou | art not wasted by thy | servants and | officers. The second | is, that thou never | spend | anything | be- | fore thou | is the | canker and | death of have it; for | borrowing | every man's estate. suffer not thy- | self to be | wounded for | other men's faults, and scourged for | other men's of- | fences, | which is the surety for an- | other, men have been | beggared for | thereby millions of | and de- | stroyed, | paying the | reckoning of other men's | riot and the charge of | other men's folly | and | prodi- | gality. || If thou | smart, smart for thy | own | sins; things, be not made an | | and, a- | bove | all to | carry the | burdens of other | men. If any | friend de- | sire thee | to be his surety, give him a | part of | what thou | hast to | spare; if he | press thee | further, he is not thy friend; for | friendship | rather | chooseth | harm to than | offereth it. If thou be | bound for a it- | self | stranger, thou art a | fool; if for a merchant, | || | thou puttest thy es- | tate to | learn to | swim; || he hath | no in- | heritance; 11 he will find a | word or a | syllable | if for a churchman, if for a lawyer, thou must he | needs for the to abuse thee; | | if for a poor man, | pay it thy- | self; || if for a | rich man, | it not therefore from | suretyship, as from a manslayer or en- | chanter, || bless thyself; best profit and re- | turn will be | this; that if thou | | force | him for | whom thou art | bound to pay it him- | self, he will be- | come thine | enemy; || if thou | use to pay it thy- | self, | thou wilt be a | beggar. 1911 Believe thy | father in this, and print it in thy | thoughts; that | what | virtue so- | ever thou | hast, |▼ be it ever so manifold, || if thou art | poor withal, | thou and thy qualities shall be des- | pised. | Be-sides, poverty is | often | sent as a | curse of | God. | I It is a | shame among | men, of the mind, a vex- | ation of an im- | prisonment every | worthy | spirit. | Thou shalt | neither | help thy- | self or others. Thou shalt drown thee in | all thy | virtues, | knowing | no | means to show them; and an eyesore company; thou shalt be a | burden | to thy | friends; | every man will | thou shalt be | driven | basely to to de- | pend on | others, to | flatter un- | worthy and de- tested | deeds. | to | make dis- | honest | shifts; poverty pro- | vokes a man and, to con- | to do | infamous suasion | draw thee to that | worst of worldly | miseries. If thou be rich it will give thee | pleasure in health, comfort in | sickness, | and body | free from | many | perils, thy | elder | years, keep thy | mind re- | lieve thee in re- | lieve the | poor and thy | honest | friends, give | means to thy pos- | terity to live | to defend them- | selves and thine own fame. It is said in the | Proverbs, | "He shall be | sore | vexed who is surety for a stranger." ship is sure." It is | further | said, "Whoso hateth | surety "The | poor but the | rich is | hated | even of his | own | neighbor, have many friends." | mightier than thy- | self, for | if thou | lendest him | count WHAT'S hallowed | ground? Has | earth a clod | | By man, the | image of his | God, | Erect and | free, | Un-scourged by super- | stition's | rod, | To bow the knee? || |
