you lose it begets in you that humour that out of hope of regaining your losses you will endanger the loss of all Do not presume too much of your skill in Play or making wagers as if you were excellent above others or have Fortune at command for she is like a Whore variable and inconstant and when she disfavours you it is with more loss at once than she recompenceth at twice Love your Brother and Sisters for their own sakes as you are bound by Nature but especially for mine whose they are Remember you are all indifferent to me but that God chose you from the rest to be a strength and stay to them think you cannot honor your Father more being dead than in shewing affection to them he dearly loved and nothing will more approve you to be mine than love and kindness amongst your selves You owe somewhat more to me than that I am your Father in that I seek your Advancement above theirs of which Obligation I will acquit you conditionally you perform what you ought to them For because Man cannot himself live ever he desires to live in his Posterity and if I had an hundred Sons my greatest hope must depend upon you as you are my eldest and seeing my care is of you above the rest do not make my Memory so unhappy as to give the World an occasion to say I left an unnatural Son The onely request I make is be kind and loving to them who I know by their disposition will give you no cause of offence A discourtesie from you will be as sharp to them as a Razor from another Be courteous and friendly to all for men are esteemed according to ther carriage There is an old Proverb The courtesie of the mouth is of great value and costs little A proud man is envied of his Equals hated by his Inferious and scorned by his Superiours so that betwixt Envy Hate and Scorn he is friendless Many times a man is condemned to death out of presumption especially when it concurrs with an opinion of his former ill carriage how much therefore doth it concern a man in the times of his Prosperity to lay up a stock of Love and Reputation There cannot be a greater Honour than to gain a mans Enemy by a courtesie it far exceeds the kindness that is done to another and doubly obligeth him that receiveth it Love is a thing desired by a King from his Subjects by a General from his Souldiers and by a Master from his Servants he that hath it is rich by it it maintains peace in time of peace and is a safe Bulwork in time of war Do not buy this Love with the ruine of your Estate as many do with prodigal Expences and then are requited with pity and derision Let your Expence be agreeable to the wearing of your Cloaths better or worse according to Company or the journying your Horse the less way you go to day you may travel the further to morrow but if you go every day a long and wearisom Journey your Horse will fail and you be enforc'd to go on foot And so will it be in your Expences if you do not moderate them according to Days and Companies your Horse and you may travel faintly together If you are prodigal in any thing let it be in Hospitality as most agreeable to the will of God you shall feed the hungry relieve the poor and get the love of the rich What you spend among your Neighbours is not lost but procures their loves and helps when you have need and thereby you shall find Friendship in the Country as available as Favour at Court If you are called to any place of Magistracy do justice with pity revenge not your self of your Enemy under colour of Authority for that shews baseness and will procure you hatred In Money matters favour your Country if it be not against the present profit of the King for many times his Name is used for the gain of other men Study the Laws not to make a mercenary practice of them but onely for your own use the good of your Neighbours and the Government of your Country Hold the Laws in reverence next to the King for that Kingdom is well governed where the King is ruled by the Laws not the Laws by the King Be not presumptuous in your Command yet seek to be obeyed as you desire to obey for as you are above others others are above you Give your mind to accommodate Controversies among your Neighbours and you shall gain their Love which will more avail you than the hate of the Lawyers can hurt you Punish Idleness and other vices as well for that they are such as for examples sake Gain love by doing Justice and hate doing wrong though it were to your immediate profit If you marry after my death chuse a Wife as near as you can suitable to your Calling Years and Condition for such Marriages are made in Heaven though celebrated on Earth If your Estate were great your choice might be the freer but where the preferment of your Sisters must depend upon your Wives Portion let not your Fancy overrule your Necessity It is an old Saying He that marrieth for love hath evil days and good nights Consider if you marry for Affection how long you will be raising Portions for your Sisters and the misery you shall live in all the days of your life for the greatest Fortune that a man can expect is in his Marriage A wise man is known by his actions but where Passion and Affection sway that man is deprived of sence and understanding It is not the Poverty or Meanness of her that 's married that makes her the better Wife for commonly such Women grow elevated and are no more mindful of what they have been than a Mariner is of his escape from a danger at Sea when it is past You must set your Wife a good example by your own carriage for a wise and discreet Husband usually makes an obedient and dutiful Wife Beware of Jealousie for it causeth great vexation of mind and scorn and laughter from your Enemies Many times it is occasioned by the behaviour of the Husband towards other Women in that case do like the Physician take away the cause of the infirmity if not you are worthy to feel the smart of it Jealousie is grounded upon conceit and imagination proceeds from a weak idle and distempered Brain and the unworthy carriage of him that is jealous many times maketh a Woman do what otherwise she would not If God be pleased to give you Children love them with that discretion that they discern it not lest they too much presume upon it Encourage them in things that are good and correct them if they offend The love of God to Man cannot be better expressed than by that of a Father to his Children Comforts or Crosses they prove to their Parents and herein Education is a great help to Nature Let your
