Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Set not thy heart vpon thy goods, and say not, I haue ynough for my life.

² Folow not thine owne minde, and thy strength, to walke in the wayes of thy heart:

³ And say not, Who shall controll mee for my workes? for the Lord will surely reuenge thy pride.

⁴ Say not, I haue sinned, and what harme hath happened vnto mee? for the Lord is long suffering, he wil in no wise let thee goe.

⁵ Concerning propitiation, bee not without feare to adde sinne vnto sinne.

⁶ And say not, His mercy is great, hee will be pacified for the multitude of my sinnes: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth vpon sinners.

⁷ Make no tarying to turne to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shal the wrath of the Lord come foorth, and in thy securitie thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.

⁸ Set not thy heart vpon goods vniustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamitie.

⁹ Winnow not with euery winde, and goe not into euery way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.

¹⁰ Be stedfast in thy vnderstanding, and let thy word be the same.

¹¹ Be swift to heare, and let thy life be sincere, & with patience giue answere.

¹² If thou hast vnderstanding, answer thy neighbour, if not, lay thy hand vpon thy mouth.

¹³ Honour and shame is in talke; and the tongue of man is his fall.

¹⁴ Be not called a whisperer, and lye not in wait with thy tongue: for a foule shame is vpon the thiefe, and an euill condemnation vpon the double tongue.

¹⁵ Be not ignorant of any thing, in a great matter or a small.
