Our lord commonly giveth riches to such gross asses, to whom he affordeth nothing else that is good.
He giveth twice who giveth in a trice.
Grove giveth and Gates taketh away.
The big print giveth and the small print taketh away.
The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
The empty vessel giveth a greater sound than the full barrel.
God sendeth and giveth both mouth and meat.
He giveth his beloved sleep.
He who giveth to the poor lendeth to the lord.
The big print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup;... At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
