 | Here begynnyth a treatyse intitulyd the myrrour of good maners |  |
Of the originall of prudence
So mankynde aduertynge/& ponderynge by wysdome
Thynges gone and passyd/and also thynge present
He seeth for certayne: what semyth for to come
And agaynst it happyn: is nat improuydent
But makyth prouysion: for all impediment
Of thynges necessary wantynge nothynge at all
But hym selfe preparynge/to chauncis/or they fall
Thynges gone and passyd/and also thynge present
He seeth for certayne: what semyth for to come
And agaynst it happyn: is nat improuydent
But makyth prouysion: for all impediment
Of thynges necessary wantynge nothynge at all
But hym selfe preparynge/to chauncis/or they fall
Hym selfe so disposynge by reason president
Thynge passyd to consyder/thynge ≼sent well to frame
And for thynges cōmynge/well to be prouydent
Thus of a prudent man/deserueth he the name
These thynges consydered/than reason is the same
Whiche ioyneth man to man: for loue of company
For cōmonynge/comfort/and socour necessary
Thynge passyd to consyder/thynge ≼sent well to frame
And for thynges cōmynge/well to be prouydent
Thus of a prudent man/deserueth he the name
These thynges consydered/than reason is the same
Whiche ioyneth man to man: for loue of company
For cōmonynge/comfort/and socour necessary
