2306. For the use of _to_ with _biseken_, cf. 2940 below.--Mr. 2308. From Tobit, iv. 20 (Vulgate); iv. 19 (A. V.). _Dresse_, direct; Lat. 'ut uias tuas _dirigat_.' 2309. From James, i. 5. At this point the Fr. text is much shortened, pp. 20-30 of the Latin text being omitted. 2311. Lat. text (p. 33):--'a te atque consiliariis tuis remoueas illa tria, quae maxime sunt consilio contraria, scilicet iram, uoluptatem siue cupiditatem atque festinantiam.' 2315. Lat. text:--'iratus semper plus putat posse facere, quam possit.' 2317. The Lat. text shews that the quotation is not from Seneca's De Ira, but from Publilius Syrus, Sent. 281:--'Iratus nil non criminis loquitur loco.' Cf. D. 2005, I. 537. 2320. From 1 Tim. vi. 10. See C. 334, I. 739. 2325. Lat. 'Ad poenitendum properat, qui cito iudicat'; from Publil. Syrus, Sent. 32. (_Read_ cito qui.) See l. 2244 above, and the note. 2331. From Ecclus. xix. 8, 9 (A. V.). 2333. Lat. text (p. 40):--'Et alius dixit: Vix existimes ab uno posse celari secretum.' [209] 2334. _The book._ Lat. text:--'Consilium absconditum quasi in carcere tuo est retrusum, reuelatum uero te in carcere suo tenet ligatum.' Compare Petrus Alfonsi, Disciplina Clericalis, iv. 3. Cf. Ecclus. viii. 22 (Vulgate); viii. 19 (A. V.). 2337. Lat. text:--'Ait enim Seneca: Si tibi ipse non imperasti, ut taceres, quomodo ab alio silentium quaeris?' This, however, is not from Seneca, but from Martinus Dumiensis, De Moribus, Sent. 16. Sundby further quotes from Plutarch (Opera, ed. Hutten. Tubingae, 1814, vol. xiv. p. 395):--[Greek: Hoper an siôpasthai boulêi, mêdeni eipêis; ê pôs para tinos apaitêseis to piston tês siôpês, ho mê paresches seautôi?] 2338. _Plyt_, plight, condition. It rimes with _appetyt_, E. 2336, and _wyte_, G. 953. It occurs again in the Complaint of Anelida, 297, and Parl. of Foules, 294; and in Troilus, ii. 712, 1738, iii. 1039. The modern spelling is wrong, as it is quite a different word from the verb to _plight_. See it discussed in my Etym. Dict., Errata and Addenda, p. 822. 2342. _Men seyn._ This does not appear to be a quotation, but a sort of proverb. The Lat. text merely says:--'Et _haec est ratio_ quare magnates atque potentes, si per se nesciunt, consilium bonum uix aut nunquam capere possunt.' 2348. From Prov. xxvii. 9. 2349. From Ecclus. vi. 15:--'Amico fideli non est comparatio; et non est digna ponderatio auri et argenti contra bonitatem fidei illius.' L. 2350 is a sort of paraphrase of the latter clause. 2351. From Ecclus. vi. 14:--'Amicus fidelis, protectio fortis; qui autem inuenit illum, inuenit thesaurum.' 'He [Socrates] was wonte to saie, that there is no possession or treasure more precious then a true and an assured good frende.'--N. Udall, tr. of Erasmus' Apophthegmes, Socrates, § 13. 2352. Cf. Prov. xxii. 17; Ecclus. ix. 14. 2354. Cf. Job xii. 12.
