no cause till it be throughly knowne,
Eche brutish broyle that forth abrode is blowne:
Beleeue not lightly, least by some suche acte,
Thou chaunce repent of deede in former facte.

Accuse no wight of crime till trouth thou trie,
Ne credit then thine eare before thine eye:
Suche false reporte abrode may often go,
As perfit proofe shall finde out nothing so.

In iudgement rashe se that thou neuer bee,
Deale not in thinges that passe capasitie:
Thy porcion spende that some thou haue to spare
If thou wilt liue deuoyde of woes and care.
