11. “The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.” The world thinks him stupid, who is patient; and without sense of honor, who passes by injuries: but the more understanding any man hath, the slower he is to anger; and the greater his spirit is, the greater his glory and praise, not to revenge a wrong, when he hath opportunity.
14. “House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord.” The singular Providence of God therefore is to be acknowledged, in a vertuous wife; which is not so easie to get as an estate. For an house, and land may descend upon us, without our thought, from our progenitours: but great care and prudence is required in the choice of a Wife, that knows how to manage a Family aright; who is not found neither, without the peculiar direction and blessing of the Lord.
18. “Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.” Give due and timely correction to thy son for his faults, before he have gotten an habit of them, and there be little hope of his amendment: but neither proceed to such cruel usage of him, as to make him weary of life, and not to care what becomes of him; nor yet be moved merely by his roaring to abate of thy necessary severity towards him.
20. “Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.” Lissen unto good advice, and be not impatient of reproof; no nor of correction for thy faults: but receive all thankfully; and learn thereby that wisedom which will doe thee service, when all things else will fail thee.
S. Patrick (1683)
