That is not good language which all understand not.
That which two will, takes effect.
That which will not be spun, let it not come betweene the spindle and the distaffe.
That’s the best gowne that goes up and downe the house.
The absent partie is still faultie.
The Apothecaries morter spoiles the Luters musick.
The back-doore robs the house.
The ballance distinguisheth not betweene gold and lead.
The beast that goes alwaies never wants blowes.
The best of the sport is to doe the deede, and say nothing.
The bird loves her nest.
The bit that one eates, no friend makes.
The charges of building and making of gardens are unknowne.
The chiefe boxe of health is time.
The child saies nothing, but what it heard by the fire.
The cholerick man never wants woe.
The Chollerick drinkes, the Melancholick eats, the Flegmatick sleepes.
The command of custome is great.
The constancy of the benefit of the yeere in their seasons argues a Deity.
The dainties of the great are the teares of the poore.
