Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, 'or' as if a staff should lift up 'him that is' not wood.
Wheþer an ax schal haue glorie ayens hym þat kittith with it? eþer a sawe schal be enhaunsid ayens hym of whom it is drawun? as if a yerde is reisid ayens hym þat reisith it, and a staf is enhaunsid, which soþeli is a tre.
