And by the sayd boke 116 hath made bothe the men and the women to knowe more [Sidenote: [Fol. 63_b_.]] vyces, subtyltye, and crafte, than euer they shulde haue knowen, if the boke had not ben made: in the whiche boke he named hym-selfe the knight of the towre. And 120 thus I leue the wyues, to vse theyr occupations at theyr owne discreation. 147. ¶ To kepe measure in spendynge. [Sidenote: Take care.] Nowe thou husbande and huswyfe, that haue done your diligence and cure, accordynge to the fyrste artycle of the philosopher, that is to saye: _Adhibe curam_. And also haue well remembred the sayeng of wyse Salomon: 4 _Quod ociosus non gaudebit cum electis in cælo: sed lugebit in æternum cum reprobis in inferno_: Thanne ye must remembre, obserue, and kepe in mind, the seconde article of the sayinge of the philosopher, that is to saye, _Tene 8 [Sidenote: Keep measure.] mensuram_: That is to saye in englysshe, holde and kepe measure. And accordynge to that sayenge, I lerned two [Sidenote: Spendthrifts come to poverty.] verses at grammer-schole, and they be these, _Qui plus expendit, quam rerum copia rendit: Non admiretur, si paupertate 12 grauetur_: he that dothe more expende, thanne his goodes wyll extende, meruayle it shall not be, thoughe [Sidenote: [Fol. 64.]] he be greued with pouertee. And also accordynge to that sayenge speketh sayncte Paul and saythe, _Iuxta 16 facultates faciendi sunt sumptus, ne longi temporis victum, [Sidenote: Spend according to your income;] breuis hora consumat_: That is to saye, A[f]ter thy faculty or thy honoure, make thyne expences, leste thou spende in shorte space that thynge, that thou shouldest lyue 20 by longe. This texte toucheth euery manne, from the hyest degree to the loweste; wherfore it is necessary to euerye manne and womanne to remembre and take good hede there-vnto, for to obserue, kepe, and folowe the 24 same; but bycause this texte of sayncte Paule is in latyn, and husbandes commonely can but lyttell laten, I fere [Sidenote: or, in plain English,] leaste they can-not vnderstande it. And thoughe it were declared ones or twyse to theym, that they wolde 28 forgette it: Wherfore I shall shewe to theym a texte in englysshe, and that they maye well vnderstande, and [Sidenote: eat within your tether.] that is this, Eate within thy tedure. 148. ¶ To eate within the tedure.
