¶ The ix fable is of the two bytches
t is not good to byleue what flaterers
and euyll men ſaye / for by theyr
ſwete wordes / they deceyue the
good folke / whereof Eſope reherceth
ſuch a fable / This was a
bytche which wold lyttre and be delyuerd of her
lytyl dogges / and came to the hows of another
bytche / & prayd her by ſwete and fayre wordes
that ſhe would lene to her a place for to lyttre
her lytyll dogges / And this other lend to her /
her bed and her hows wenynge to doo wel /
And whan the bytche had lyttred her lytyl
dogges / the good bytche ſayd to the other / that
it was tyme that ſhe ſhold goo and departe oute
of her hows And then the bytche and her young
dogges ranne vpon the other / and boot and
caſted her oute of her owne hows / and thus for
to have doo well / grete dommage cometh ofte
therfore And ofte the good men leſe theyr goodes
by the decepcion and flaterye of the peruers and
evylle folke /
