| 1 | A slow man is stonyd in a stoon of cley; and alle men schulen speke on the dispisyng of him. |
| 2 | A slow man is stonyd of the dung of oxis; and ech man that touchith hym, schal schake the hondis. |
| 3 | The schame of a fadir is of a sone vnlerned; but a fonned douyter schal be in decreessyng. |
| 4 | A prudent douyter is eritage to hir hosebonde; for sche that schendith hir hosebonde, is in dispisyng of the fadir. |
| 5 | A `schameles womman schendith the fadir and hosebonde, and schal not be maad lesse than vnfeithful men; forsothe sche schal not be onourid of euer either. |
| 6 | Melodie in morenyng is vncouuenable tellyng; betyngis and techyng in al tyme with wisdom. |
| 7 | He that techith a fool, as he that glueth togidere a tiel stoon. |
| 8 | He that tellith a word to hym that herith not, is as he that reisith a man slepynge fro a greuouse sleep. |
| 9 | He that tellith wisdom to a fool, spekith with a man slepynge; and in the ende of the tellyng he schal seie, Who is this? |
| 10 | Wepe thou on a deed man, for whi his liyt failide; and wepe thou on a fool, for he failide of wit. |
| 11 | Wepe thou a litil on a deed man, for he hath restid. |
| 11a | 22:12 Forsothe the lijf of a ful wickid man is ful wickid, more than the deth of a fool. |
| 12 | 22:13 The morenyng of a deed man is seuene daies; but the morenyng of a fool and of a wickid man is alle the daies of her lijf. |
| 12a | 22:14 Speke thou not myche with a fool, and go thou not with an vnwijs man. |
| 12b | 22:15 Keep thee fro hym, that thou haue not disese; and thou schalt not be defoulid in the synne of hym. |
| 13 | 22:16 Boowe thou awei fro hym, and thou schalt fynde reste; and be thou not anoied by his foly. |
| 14 | 22:17 What schal be maad heuyere than leed? and what othere name than a fool is to it? |
| 15 | 22:18 It is liytere to bere grauel, and salt, and a gobet of yrun, than a man vnprudent, and a fool, and vnfeithful. |
| 16 | 22:19 As an heep of trees, boundun togidere in the foundement of the bilding, schal not be vnboundun, so and an herte confermed in the thouyt of counsel. |
| 16a | 22:20 The thouyt of a wijs man shal not be maad schrewid in ony tyme, nether drede. |
| 16b | 22:21 As chaffis in hiye places, and soond with out medling of hym, set ayens the face of wynd, schulen not dwelle; |
| 17 | 22:22 so and a dreedful herte in the thouyt of a fool ayenstondith not ayens the feersnesse of drede. |
| 18 | 22:23 As ournyng, ether pargetyng, ful of grauel in a cleer wal, so and a ferdful herte in the thouyt of a fool schal not drede in ony tyme; so and he that dwellith euere in the heestis of God. |
| 19 | 22:24 He that prickith the iye, schal leede out teeris; and he that prickith the herte, bryngith forth wit. |
| 20 | 22:25 He that castith a stoon to briddis, schal caste doun tho; so and he that doith wrong to a frend, departith frenschipe. |
| 21 | 22:26 Thouy thou bryngist forth a swerd to a frend, dispeire thou not; for ther is going ayen to the frend. |
| 22 | 22:27 If he openeth a soreuful mouth, drede thou not; for whi ther is acordyng, outakun dispisynge, and schenschipe, and pride, and schewyng of preuyte, and a tretcherouse wounde; in alle these thingis a frend schal fle awei. |
| 23 | 22:28 Haue thou feith with a frend in his pouert, that thou be glad also in hise goodis. |
| 23a | 22:29 In the tyme of his tribulacioun dwelle thou feithful to hym, that also thou be euene eir in the eritage of hym. |
| 24 | 22:30 Heete and smook of fier is maad hiy bifore the fier of a chymenei; so and cursyngis, and dispisyngis, and manaassis, comen bifore blood. |
| 25 | 22:31 I schal not be aschamed for to grete a frend, and Y schal not hide me fro his face; thouy yuels comen to me bi hym, Y schal suffre. |
| 26 | 22:32 Ech man that schal here, schal kepe warli hym silf fro hym. |
| 27 | 22:33 Who schal yyue keping to my mouth, and a certeyn ceelyng on my lippis, that Y falle not bi tho, and that my tunge leese not me? |
