Many Words will not fill a Bushel; The younger Brother the better Gentleman.

Proferred Service stinks; The Receiver is as bad as the Thief; Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.

It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.

’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.

Good Wine needs no Bush; Kissing goes by Favour; A Lark is better than a Kite

Little Pitchers have great Ears; Many talk of Robin Hood who never shot in his Bow.

Give a Man Luck and throw him into the Sea; Money makes the Mare to go; Much falls between the Cup and the Lip.

Better play at small Game than stand out; Give him a Rowland for his Oliver.

Sue a Beggar and catch a Louse; Many Hands make Light Work; [woodcut: well-dressed man scratches his head standing near a beggar with outstretched hat]

Harm watch, Harm catch; It is a good Horse that never stumbles.

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last
