For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
But whanne thou goist with thin aduersarie in þe weie to þe prince, do bisynesse to be delyuerid fro hym; lest perauenture he take þee to þe domesman, and þe domesman bitake þee to þe maistirful axer, and þe maistirful axer sende þee in to prisoun.
