A02588	Hall, Joseph, 1574-1656.	Salomons diuine arts, of 1. Ethickes, 2. Politickes, 3. Oeconomicks that is; the gouernment of 1. Behauiour, 2. Common-vvealth, 3. Familie. Drawne into method, out of his Prouerbs & Ecclesiastes. With an open and plaine paraphrase, vpon the Song of songs. By Ioseph Hall.	1609		.xml	application/xml	32320	1683	82	I haue seene ( indeed ) the trauell , that God hath giuen the sons of men , to humble them thereby , that all things are full of labour , man cannot vtter it ; A man that hath friendes , ought to showe himselfe friendly : for a friend is neerer then a brother ; Thy owne friend therefore , and thy fathers friend forget thou not : for whether hee reprooue thee ; The woundes of a louer are faithfull or whether hee aduise ; As Oyntment and Perfui●●e reioyce the heart , so doth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by hearty counsell : or whether he exhort ; Iron sharpens iron , so doth a man sharpen the face of his friend ; and all this , not in the time of prosperity onely , as commonly , Riches gather manie friends , and the poore is separated from his neighbour : but contrarily , A true friend loueth at all times , & a brother is born for aduersitie ; in all estates therfore , as the face in the water answers to face , so the hart of man to man ; who yet , may not bee too much pressed : Withdrawe thy foot from thy neighbors house , least he be wearie of thee , and hate thee ; neither enter into thy brothers house in the daie of thy calamitie : nor againe , too forward in profering kindnesse to his owne losse ; A man destitute of vnderstanding toucheth the hand , and becommeth suretie for his neighbour : If therefore thou art become surety for thy neighbour ( much more if thou haue strikē hands with the strāger ) thou art snared with the wordes of thine owne mouth , thou art euen taken with the words of thine owne mouth .	cache/A02588.xml	txt/A02588.txt
