1 My sonne if thou be suretie for thy neyghbour, and hast fastened thyne hande for another man: 2 Thou art bounde with thine owne wordes, and taken with thine owne speach. 3 Therfore my sonne do this, and thou shalt be discharged: When thou art come into thy neyghbours daunger, go thy wayes then soone, humble thy selfe, and with thy frendes intreate thy creditour. 4 Let not thyne eyes sleepe, nor thyne eye liddes slumber. 5 Saue thy self as a Doe from the hand of the hunter and as a byrde from the hande of the fouler.
