But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.
But whanne thou art bedun to a feste, go, and sitte doun in þe laste place, þat whanne he cometh, þat bad þee to þe feeste, he seie to þee, Freend, come hiyer. Þanne worschip schal be to þee, bifor men þat sitten at þe mete.
