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

After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]

He sets the Fox to keep his Geese. [woodcut: fox watching geese]

Well begun is half ended; All is well that ends well.

Need makes the old Wife trot; [woodcut: barefoot old woman hitches up skirts to cross a stream]

All goes down Gutter-lane; As Wise as a Man of Gotham; As good as George of Green; [woodcut: stout man drinks from mug, holds saussage with a fork]

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

What is bred in the Bone will never be out of the Flesh; One Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush; A Cat may look upon a king.

The more Haste the worse Speed; When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.

Brag is a good Dog, but Holdfast is a better; The Belly has no Ears; [woodcut: mouse by house perhaps made from candle with snuffer]

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

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

He makes a Rod for his own Breech.

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot; Birds of a Feather flock together; Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire.

Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.

As you brew so you shall bake; Every bean has its Black; it is an ill wind that blows no body good
