within thy tedure. 44 149. ¶ A shorte lesson for the husbande. [Sidenote: Do not waste candle-light.] One thinge I wyl aduise the to remembre, and specially in wynter-tyme, wha_n_ thou sytteste by the fyre, and hast supped, to consyder in thy mynde, whether the warkes, [Sidenote: [Fol. 65_b_.]] that thou, thy wyfe, & thy seruauntes shall do, be more 4 auauntage to the than the fyre, and candell-lyghte, meate and drynke that they shall spende, and if it be more [Sidenote: Rather go to bed, and rise early.] auantage, than syt styll: and if it be not, than go to thy bedde and slepe, and be vppe betyme, and breake thy 8 faste before day, that thou mayste be all the shorte wynters day about thy busynes. At grammer-scole I [Sidenote: Early rising makes a man healthy, holy, and rich.] lerned a verse, that is this, _Sanat, sanctificat, et ditat surgere mane_. That is to say, Erly rysyng maketh a man 12 hole in body, holer in soule, and rycher in goodes.

[Sidenote: Men of high degree are too prodigal and wasteful.] To me it is doubtefull, but yet me semeth, they be rather to lyberall in expences, than to scarce, and specyally in three thynges. The fyrste is prodigalytie in outragious and costely aray, fer aboue measure; the 4 seconde thynge is costely charge of delycyous meates and drynkes; the thyrde is outragious playe and game, ferre aboue measure. And nowe to the fyrste poynte. [Sidenote: [Fol. 66.]] 151. ¶ Prodigalite in outragious and costely aray.
