A gentle woman came to me and told me, that a great¹ man keepeth certain lands of hers from her, and will be her tenant in the spite of her teeth. And that in a whole twelve month. she could not get but one day for the hearing of her matter, and the same day when the matter² should be heard, the great man brought on his side a great sight of lawyers for his counsel, the gentle woman had but one man of law: and the great man shakes him so, that he can not tell what to do, so that when the matter came to the point, the judge was a mean to the gentle woman, that she would let the great man have a quietness in her land. I beseech your grace that ye will look to these matters. Hear them your self. View your judges? And hear poor mens causes. And you proud judges hearken what God sayeth in his holy book: Audite illos, ita paruum ut magnum. Hear them sayeth he, the small as well as the great, the poor as well as the rich. Regard no person, fear no man. Why? […] domini judicium est. The judgement is Goddes. Mark this saying, thou proud judge. The Devil will bring this sentence at the day of Dome. Hell will be full of thieves judges, if they repent not and amend. They are worse then the wicked judge that Christ speaketh of, that neither³ feared God, nor the world.
