The Epistle to the Reader . Gentle reader .

MY purpose is not here professedly to preface , and discourse unto thee either . 1. What a Proverbe is , a a Paroemia est celebre dictum scita quapiam novitate insigne . Erasm . Or 2. What bee the properties thereof , b b Vt celebratum sit , vulgoquejactatum , ut passim per ora hominum obambulet , a 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 . Adagium quasi circumagium . Varro . Or 3. How it differs from other speech of neare affinitie thereunto , c c A Sententiis , Fabulis , Apophthegmat . viz brevitate , sententia , figura — Or 4. What Commendation is worthily given to Proverbs d d Inter bonos autores ut quisque fuit eruditissimus , eloquentissimusque , ita quamplurimum adagiorum suis libris aspersit . Quid magno illo Platone ( ne dicam divino ) 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 ? Aristoteles sicis disputationibus paroemias crebras ceu gemmulas intertexuit . for their

1. Dignitie , diverse learned and famous men having written whole volumes of them , as Aristotle , Chrysippus , Cleanthes , Plutarch , Theophrastus , Suidas Plato , King Solomon the gravest senators e e Romani principes non existimaverunt inferius esse majestate Imperiali ut magnis de rebus consulti , proverbio responderent . Divus Hieronymus , Evangelicam sententiam Adagii vulgati testimonio confirmat . Ne Paulus quidem ipse , dedignatur locis aliquot , Proverbiorum uti testimoniis . 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 . Apollonii ad Euph. , the greatest Emperours , the inspired pen-men of sacred Oracles , and our most blessed Saviour himselfe chusing , and using them , upon all incidentall occasions .

2. Antiquitie no kind of learning , appearing more ancient . f f In his ceu symbolis tota ferme priscorum Philosophia continebatur , proinde pro foribus templorum veluti digna Diis inscribebantur : passimque columnis ac marmoribus insculpta visebantur , tanquam immortali digna memoria .

3. Vtilitie , consisting especially in their helpe-fulnesse .

Unto 1. Philosophie g g Aristoteles apud Synes . existimat nihil aliud esse paroemias , quam reliquias priscae illius philosophiae , maximis rerum humanarum cladibus extinctae , subesse velut igniculos quosdam vetustae sapientiae , ideoque pressius ac penitius inspiciendas-his enim comprehendi quae Philosophiae principes tot voluminibus tradiderunt . being reliques and fragments thereof , preserved hitherto for their brevitie h h Adeo quod in liris intercidit , quod titulis , quod colossis quod marmoribus servari non potuit , proverbio servatur incolume . festivitie .

2. Oratorie to perswade . i i

Ipsi etiam philosophi passim suas rationes proverbiis fulciunt . Quid quaeso probabilius quam quod nemo non dicit ? quid verisimilius quam id quod tot aetatum , tot nationum consensus , & v●lut idem suffragium comprobavit ? Inest nimirum in his paroemiis nativa quaedam & genuina vis veritatis . Deinde fit , nescio quo pacto , ut sententia proverbio quasi vibrata , feriat acrius auditoris animum & aculeos quosdam cogitationum relinqueatinfixos . Eras .

Aristoteles ipse in Rhetorices praeceptis paroemias inter testimonia connumerat , sunt enim quodammodo vel potentiora etiam , quod non causis accommodata , sed liberis odio & gratia mentibus , ideo tantum dicta factaque , quia aut honestissima , aut verissima , videantur . Fabius .

3. Ornament , and beautifing of speeck . k k Si scite & in loco intertexantur adagia , futurum est ut sermo totus , & antiquitatis ceu stellulis quibusdam luceat , & figurarum arrideat coloribus , & sententiarum niteat gemmulis , & festivitatis , cupediis blandiatur : denique novitate excitet , brevitate d●lectet , autoritate persuadeat . Erams .

4. Vnderstanding of the best Authors . Quantum autem gratiam habeant , arguti , concinni , & breves aphorismi de moribus , & vita juxta decori normam instituenda , nemo non videt . Grynae . l l Haec enim multum offundunt tonebrarum si ignorentur , at rursum lucis plurimum adferunt si fuerint intellecta : fit enim nonnunquam ut scriptor tacite ad proverbium alludat , quod si nos fugerit , etiamsi videbitur intellecta sententia , tamen magna pars voluptatis aberit , ignorata paroemia . — profuturam ejus lectionem non modo ad linguarum , & philosophiae cognitionem , fed etiam ad vitam recte instituendam , & ad legendos cum fructu , optimos quosque authores .

4. Difficultie , to use Proverbs skilfully , seasonably , and discreetly , m m Siquidem ut non medio●ris est artificii gemmulam scite includ●re annulo , & aurum purpurae intertexere : ita non est , mihi crede , cujusvis paroemiam apte , decenterque orationi inserere . In hujusmodi quemadmodum & in musicâ , nisi summum praestes artificem , ridiculu● fis , & aut laudem eximiam , aut risum auferas oportet . Or 5. for the Accommodation of them occasionally how we must apply and use them , viz. not as meat , but onely as sauce , n n Non ad satietatem , sed ad gratiam — nimis crebriter non uteremur , densitas enim earum obstat invicem quo minus ●luceant . as jewels not fit for to weare every where , in any part of our bodies , but in our eares , about our neckes , &c. in fit places , seasonable times , not set too thicke , for omne nimium o o Gratiam a●tit quicquid au● immodicum est , aut intempestivum : est enim optimarum rerum si minus satietas , certe modus quidam . 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 &c.

I say , my purpose is not ( good Reader ) herein to wrong thee so farre , nor famous ERASMUS , p p

Si omne tuli● punctum qui miscuit utile dulci , omne profecto punctum in Philologiae comitiis , Diis hominibusque plandentibus , Phaenix ille Germaniae Des - Erasmus Roterod. editis saepeque locupletatis Adagiorum Chiliadibus , tulit . Grynae .

Vir ille extra omnem ingenii aleam positus , multorum annorum vigiliis , judicio , delectuque rerum singulari adhibito — praedicando ad omnem posteritatem exemplo .

our worthy 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 , as to light thee , with my rush ( or candle of thirty to the pound ) after his so bright a torch , q q Hoc 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 viri incomparabilis beneficium — Grynaeus — in his Hesperidum hortis — certe cum Iliadem illam leporum lego quae paroemiae vocantur , nunc logothecam Minerva , mihi videre videor ; nunc Mercur●i Salinum quem logium appellant , arte eximia fabrefactum , & in qus tamen ipsomateria cum opificio certet . but for thy learning and fuller instruction herein , I referre thee to Himselfe in the Prolegomena to that right golden-worke of his Chiliads ? Nunc Pithûs delicias & condimenta , vel Suadae medullam , interdum visendam quandam , copiosamque supellectilem longo intervallo promptam , in taberna amplissima expositam , praedivitis cujusdam institoris , eloquentiae ordine descriptam digestamque decentissime . Pigmenta atque lenocinia quibus artifices dicendi , & qui Logodaedali dicuntur , scripta quondam sua vendibiliora reddunt . Budaeus . I onely present thee here with a Sylloge , or Collection of English Proverbs , marshalled , ranked , and digested under the Heads of his latine Adages , paralell'd with them , and sorted together ( as well as I could ) all along this worke . s s In quo proverbia quae veluti consimilis monetae , confiniaque videbantur , in suam quaeque tribum digessimus . - nec quemadmodum Midae in aurum it●dem nobis quicquid forte contigissemus , protinus in Adagium verti . Er.

For let me tell thee , that they indeed are not , nor can be all exactly paralell'd to each other all along every head , there being

1. Sometimes many English for one latine , and sometimes againe many Latine for one English : none of which perhaps will aptly answere , or agree to the Latine sigillatim in speciall , or proverbiatim one by one , bee expressive each to other : though in generall & capitatim they doe genuinely , truly and naturally fall and chalenge place , under one and the same Head .

2. Some Proverbs may bee applyed and used to diverse and sundry senses , and significations , and so are referred to many and severall heads , even by ERASMUS himselfe ; as Pertusam Dolium to 1. obliviosum . 2. profusum . 3. Avarum . 4. futilem . 5. Ingratum . A riven dish to 1. forgetfull . 2. prodigall . 3. Covetous . 4. blabbing . 5. unthankfull . t t Nihil vetat ●●terdum quo minus idem dictum , ad complures sensus ●●commodes . Eras .

3. Yea to contrarie significations , as if we should say of a notorious lyar , now heare the lip of truth , now you 'st heare an oracle .

〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉

4. Under the same head are contrary proverbs placed , as under Impudicitia is Chast , &c.

I have gleaned and gathered these Proverbs out of all writers , u u Nullus est hodie literator tam trivialis quin si libellum ederet adagia pollicentem , dignaturus sim eum lectione : quod vere dictum sit , nullum esse librum tam malum , unde non aliquid boni possis decerpere . nolle legere eos qui tractant argumentum commune tecum , turpis est arrogantiae ; dissimulare cum legeris , turpioris ambitionis ; inficiari beneficium turpissimae ingratitudinis . Erasm . I could read or meet withall , & have used herein the helpe of sundry scholars , and worthy friends : over and beside my owne observation of many golden proverbs , dropping now and then out of vulgar mouthes imâ de plebe . * * Hoc genus scripti constat industria , hinc atque hinc decerpendi .

These Proverbs though excellent in all mens discourse , x x Oraculorum vim obtinent . Erasm . use-full upon all occasions to every man , yet they be chiefely intended for the use of Grammar-schooles ; and therefore the y y Ethicam , physicam , logisticen , musicam — de virtutibus , & vitiis , de vitae humanae conditionibus , de officiis . — Industrious Schoolemaster may please , every day to cause his scholars to repeat a head or two after their Parts , and interpret them ; and appose his scholars therein : or cause one boy in a forme to appose and aske another . This will both teach and reminde them of all learning , historie , and antiquitie : and bee a synopsis of most use-full and delightfull passages in their whole life . And the benefit hereof will soone be found incredibly great , especially in the higher formes , usefull in all their exercises , z z Quae in cibo potuque necessaria esse requirunt , viz ne sit insipidus , immundus , squalidus , Grynaeus . feretque secum 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 , & opulentissimum liberalis , utilisque doctrinae , copiae cornu . Gryn . giving lustre , as so many orient pearles 1 1 Cur enim haec ceu thesauros non numeremus ? Erasm . or rich Diamonds set in gold : for herein is couched and contracted the quintessence , marrow , ●reame , flower 2 2 Hoc genus flosculos ac gemmas quibus eruditi scripta sua consueverunt insignire , plusculum habere gratiae — Erasm . and pith of learning , eloquence , ●nd wisedome : our wise fore-fathers , and the lear●ed in all ages , briefely ●ransmitting to us in Proverbs , the treasures of their experience , and knowledge , like gold , much in a litle : as the confluence of light in one Sunne , of heat in one fire . 3 3 Ista non mole sed pretio aestimare oportet . Quis enim sanus non pluris faciat gemmulas , quamvis perpusillas , quam saxa quaedam ingentia ? In araneo , culiceque majus est naturae miraculum , quam in Elephanto : it idem in re literaria , non-nunquam plurimum habent ingenii , quae minima sunt . Erasm .

For the better understanding of some Latine Adages thou must repaire ●o Erasmus his great volume of Adagiorum Chiliades , a booke most usefull in every schoole . 4 4 Typographica 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉 toties renatum . Victurus genium debet habere liber .

The thoughts of thus publishing these , were but late , urged by the importunitie of my stationer , who hath printed diverse things of mine , which have found acceptance above desert 5 5 Major opinione favor excepit , sive is tuus , sive operis fuit genius . Erasm . ad D. G. Mountjoy — or expectation : and so he will needs venture upon this too , which hath lien by me , now these eight yeeres , and been so long in fieri : now 't is thine ( if thou please ) in facto : for to the Presse I manu-mise it , nonum ut prematur in annum .

My earnest request to the Schoolemaster or Reader , who shall make use hereof is , that they would please , to adde , insert , alter , or more aptly place these , 6 6 In quo si quis alius anteverterit , nostraque castigarit , huic multam etiam gratiam habituri sumus , tantum aberit , ut nobis injuriam esse factam arbitremur : equidem ut probo diligentiam eorum qui id conantur , ita felicitatem admiror , qui praestare quoque possint in scriptis suis , ne quid momo reliqui fiat , quod queat carpere : nostra certe m●diocritas , non istud ausit polliceri , praesertim in hoc argumenti genere . Erasm . or other occurrent Proverbs , as they shall find occasion : thus diverse have done to Erasmus himselfe , 7 7 Quod argumenti natura sit infinita , ut nihil egerit , qui hoc agat , ne quid omnino praetermittatur . where by that worke is become so large and complete ; and to this purpose vacant spaces are left under every head , that alterations might be made , additions inserted . 8 8 Non minus libenter admoners nos patiemur , juxta parati vel candide docere quod scimus , vel ingenu● discere quod ignoramus . Erasm . This favour if thou wilt vouchsafe us 9 9 Palma in medio est , arripiat qui potest . Erasm . ( courteous Reader ) both author and printer shall acknowledge our selves , much beholden to thee for thy paines herein .

Let him put his finger i' th fire that needeth .

He that will saile without danger , must never come upon the maine sea .

It 's no safe wading in an unknown water .

Shunning the smoake he fell into the fire .

Better once a mischiefe , than ever an inconvenience .

Take heed what you doe .

Pluck back that foot .

You are in the same praedicament .

That dog fights best that out of danger playes :

Play with me , and hurt me not .

The Moon directs more than the Sun .

It is good to marry late , or never .

No lack to a wife .

Husbands are in heaven whose wives chide not

The second wife is best beloved .

He that makes his wife his master must bee set a grazing .

Nimis est uxorius .

Dulce bellum inexpertis .

Mulier in aedibus atra tempestas viro .

Domesticum malum .

Cum uxore malè vivitur , absque hac omnino non vivitur .

Nectecum possum vivere , nec sine te .

Non soli Atridae uxores amant .

Uxor nomen dignitatis , non voluptatis .

Trahunt addictos in sua jura viros .

Ignis , mare , mulier , tria sunt mala .

Nihil foemina imperiosius

Ubi tu Cajus , ibi ego Caja

Dotem accepi , imperium vendidi .

Gallina canit , silet gallus .

Sic volo sic jubeo — stat. — medeae .

Uxoris linguam si frugi est , ferre memento .

Mulieris consilium aliquoties sanun● .

Uxorem duxi , sed crebro postea luxi .

Melius nil coelibe vita .

Qui non litigat coelebs est .

Bona carendo magis quàm —

Dedecus extremum obtemperare foeminae .

Vide Foemina , Coelibatus , Conjugium .
