And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
And he seide to hym, þat hadde bodun hym to þe feeste, Whanne thou makist a mete, or a soper, nyle thou clepe thi freendis, neþer thi briþeren, nethir cosyns, nethir neiyboris, ne riche men; lest perauenture þei bidde þee ayen to þe feeste, and it be yolde ayen to þee.
