E whiche is of euylle and hrewd kynd / with grete payne he may chaty hym elf / as it appereth by this fable / Of a vylayne / whiche had a yonge bole / the whiche he myght not bynd / by caue that euer he mote with his hornes / wherfore the vylayne cutte of his hornes /   ¶ But yet whan he wold haue bound hym / the bole cated his fute fro hym / in uche wye that he uffred noman to come nyghe hym / And whan the vylayne perceyued the malyce of the bole / he ayd to hym / I halle chatye the wel / For I halle take the in to the bouchers handes / And thenne was the bole wel chatyed / ¶ And thus ought men to doo of the euylle / curyd & rebelles/ whiche doo no thynge but playe with dees and cardes and to ruffule / Such folke ought men to put in to the handes of the boucher for to lede them to the galhows / For better may no man chatye them / For with grete payne may he be chatyed / whiche fleeth alle good werkes alle good felauhip
