7 Porque mejor es que se te diga, Sube acá, que no que seas humillado delante del príncipe que miraron tus ojos.

8 No salgas á pleito presto, no sea que no sepas qué hacer al fin, después que tu prójimo te haya dejado confuso.

9 Trata tu causa con tu compañero y no descubras el secreto á otro.

10 No sea que te deshonre el que lo oyere, y tu infamia no pueda repararse.

11 Manzana de oro con figuras de plata es la palabra dicha como conviene.
