1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to bee an vnrighteous witnesse. 2¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to doe euill: neither shalt thou speake in a cause, to decline after many, to wrest iudgement: 3¶ Neither shalt thou countenance a poore man in his cause. 4¶ If thou meete thine enemies oxe or his asse going astray, thou shalt surely bring it backe to him againe. 5If thou see the asse of him that hateth thee, lying vnder his burden, and wouldest forbeare to helpe him, thou shalt surely helpe with him.
