¶ The ix fable is of the hors / of the hunter and of the hert
One ought to put hym ſelf in ſubiection
for to auenge hym on other /
For better is not to ſubmytte hymſelf
/ than after to be ſubmytted /
As reherceth to vs this fable / Of
an hors whiche had enuye ouer an herte / by
cauſe the herte was fayrer than he / and the
hors by enuye went vnto an hunter / to whome
he ſayd in this manere / yf thow wylt byleue
me / we ſhalle this day take a good proye /
Lepe vpon my bak / and take thy ſwerd / and
we ſhalle chace the herte / and thow ſhalt hytte
hym with thy ſwerd / and kylle hym / and
ſhalt take hym / and thenne his fleſſhe thow
mayſt ete / and his ſkynne thow mayſt ſelle /
¶ And thenne the hunter moued by auaryce / demaunded of the hors / thynkeſt thow by thy feythe that we may take the herte / of whomme thow ſpeketh to me of / ¶ And the hors anſwerd thus / Suffyſe the / For ther to I ſhalle put al my dylygence and alle my ſtrengthe / lepe vpon me / and doo after my counceylle / ¶ And
thenne
