⁵³ deeming unjust dooms, oppressing innocents, and delivering (or freeing) guilty men, when the Lord saith, Thou shalt not slay an innocent and just man. [deeming unjust dooms, oppressing innocents, and delivering (the) guilty, saying the Lord, Thou shalt not slay the innocent and just man.]

⁵⁴ But now, if thou sawest her, say thou, under what tree thou sawest them speaking together to themselves (or with each other)? Which said, Under an haw(thorn) tree. [Now forsooth, if thou sawest her, say thou, under what tree thou saw them speaking to themselves (or to each other)? Which said, Under a sloe tree (or a blackthorn tree).]

⁵⁵ Forsooth Daniel said, Rightly thou liest in (or against) thine (own) head; for lo! the angel of the Lord, by a sentence taken of (or from) him, shall cut thee by (or across) the middle. [Soothly Daniel said, Rightly thou liest into thine head; lo! forsooth an angel of the Lord, the sentence took of him, shall cut thee (across) the middle.]
