148. ¶ To eate within the tedure.

Spare at the brink, not at the bottom.

[Fol. 64b.]

Do not spend much at the beginning of the year.

Give not your horse too long a tether.

If the horse break his tether,

[Fol. 65.]

he will be impounded.

Wherefore, ‘eat within thy tether.’

Do not break your tether.
