If any man should kill any of those bests / it were felony in many places. Where as the law Civil calleth those wild bests the goddes of the honour / no longer then they bide at home / or have a purpose to return home. Which will never be as long as they find good byte in the pour mans pasture or corn / except they be chased home. whether those bests be not as well the pour mans / if he can take them in his pasture / as the honours / read the law / Inst. lib. 2. ⟨p. CLXXIII⟩•. De rerum divisione & acquirendo illarum dominio. I cannot tell with what good conscience any man can fare well with the detriment of his neighbour. let every man judge with charity whether it be well done or not. As it is sin to retain unjustly these Goods of the body / whether they be ours or other mens: so it is to retain the goddes of the mine. As good counsel / learning / wisdom or any other thing else / that may aid our brother in things of religion and virtue. And as every man that saith his brother want things necessary for the body / in case he help him not hath no charity in him / as Joan saith / 1. Joan. 3. so he that saith his brother want the knowledge of God / and Good counsel / in case he aid him not the best he can / is culpable of his brothers damnation.

If ony man shuld kill ony of those bestes / it were felonie in many places. Where as the law Ciuile callythe those wild bestes the goddes of the honour / no lenger then they byde at home / or haue a purpose to returne home. Which will neuer be as long as they fynd good byte in the poure mannes pasture or corne / except they be chasyd home. whether those bestes be not as well the poure mannes / if he can take them in his pasture / as the honours / rede the law / Inst. lib. 2. ⟨p. CLXXIII⟩•. De rerum diuisione & acquirendo illarum dominio. I cannot tell withe what good conscience ony man can fare well with the detriment of his neighbour. let euery man iudge withe cheririte whether it be well donne or not. As it is sinne to retaine vniustly these Godes of the bodye / whether they be ours or other mens: so it is to retaine the goddes of the myne. As good counsell / lerning / wysdomme or ony other thinge else / that maye ayde our brother in thynges of religion and vertew. And as euery man that seythe his brother waunt thynges necessarie for the bodye / in case he helpe him not hathe no cherite in hym / as Ioan saythe / 1. Ioan. 3. so he that seythe his brother want the knolege of God / and Good counsell / in case he ayede him not the best he can / is culpable of his brothers damnation.
