My sin was love of money: my punishment, its possession.

Mates, remember Him who sent you to be labourers, and love the lot He gives you.

Be thankful if His blessing on your industry keeps you in regular work and fair wages: ask no more from God of this world's good.

Believe things kindly of the gentle-folks, for many sins are heaped upon their heads, whereof their hearts are innocent.

Never listen to the counsels of a servant, who takes away his master's character: for of such are the poor man's worst oppressors.
