Deride not infirmities, nor triumph over Injuries
Delight in virtue’s Ways & then you’ll merit praise
Death conquers potent Princes, & their Powers
Delight in what you undertake to Learn
Duty, Fear, & Love, we owe to God above
Drinking is the drowning of cares not the cure of them
Death destroys, not the soul but an ill life does
Do to Others as you would that they unto you should
Death is less Fear’d by a fool than a philosopher

Every Plant & Flower, shows to us Gods Power
Example oft doth Rule the wise man & the fool
Envious Men do fret, when they see other get
Evil Company makes the good bad & the bad worse
Experience is the best looking Glass of Wisdom
Even at the head & feet, be sure your letters Keep
Envy & care, make the body grow spare
Fair words are often used to hide foul Deeds
Fair faces have sometimes foul Conditions
Few do good with what have gotten ill
Future events must be left to providence
Fear is a good Watchman but a bad defender
Fraud in childhood will become Knavery in manhood
Fortune is Kind at some Hours to all
Feign’d looks oft hide what the false Heart dothe Know
Fortune & Fame Create a good name
Friends in adversity are not often found
Fools & knaves are not companions for honest men
Frugality & Industry are the hands of fortune
