Proverbs 8:1-12

Bishops^{(i) 1} Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstanding put foorth her voyce ² She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the place of the pathes ³ She cryeth at the gates of the citie, at the entrye of the doores ⁴ It is you O ye men [saith she] whom I call, vnto the chyldren of men do I lyft vp my voyce ⁵ Take heede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt, be ye wise in heart O ye fooles ⁶ Geue eare, for I wyll speake of great matters, and open my lippes to tell thinges that be right ⁷ For my mouth shall be talking of the trueth, and my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse ⁸ All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardnes nor falsehood in them ⁹ They are all playne to suche as wyll vnderstande, and right to them that finde knowledge ¹⁰ Receaue my doctrine and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde ¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then pretious stones, yea all thinges that thou canst desire, may not be compared vnto it ¹² I wysdome dwell with counsell, and finde out knowledge and vnderstanding
