A Bandog (which is able to vanquish not on∣ly Wolues, but also Beares) did iourneye a long way with an Asse which caryed a sacke full of bread. As they went on their way, a tempest arose, then the Asse hapned on a medow, where with good grasse he filled his belly full: but the Dog desired the Asse to giue him a little péece of bread least he sterued: he not only denyed him that, but also scottingly counselled him to féed on grasse with him. In the meane time the Asse es∣pying the Wolfe comming, besoughte the dogge to aide him. Nay (quod he) thou didst counsell me to féed on grasse to slake my hunger, so I will thée to defende thy selfe with thy iron heeles a∣gainst the Wolfe.

MOR. They which aide not them which néede helpe, are wont to be destitute of the succoure of others in the time of néede.
