Discours de Buckingham pour la suppression du droit d'asile (sous Richard III):
«What a rabble of theues, murtherers, and malicious heyghnous traitours, and that in twoo places specyallye.... Mens wyues runne thither with theyr housebandes plate, and saye, thei dare not abyde with theyr housbandes for beatinge. Theues bryng thyther theyr stolen goodes, and there lyue thereon. There deuise they newe roberies; nightlye they steale out, they robbe and reue, and kyll, and come in again as though those places gaue them not onely a safe garde for the harme they haue done, but a license also to doo more.»
Paroles de la reine:
«In what place coulde I recken him sure, if he be not sure in this sentuarye whereof was there neuer tiraunt so deuelish, that durste presume to breake... For sothe he hath founden a goodly glose, by whiche that place that may defend a thefe, may not saue an innocent....»

(18) LES EMPIRIQUES DU QUATORZIÈME SIÈCLE (p. [109]).—Recette de Gaddesden contre la petite vérole: «Capiatur scarletum rubrum et qui patitur variolas involvatur in illo totaliter, vel in alio panno rubro; sicut ego feci quando inclyti regis Angliæ filius variolas patiebatur; curavi ut omnia circa lectum essent rubra, et curatio illa mihi optime successit.»
Recette contre la pierre: «Habui calculosum quem per longum tempus non potui sanare; tandem curavi mihi colligi scarabæos multos qui inveniuntur in stercoribus boum in æstate et cicadas quæ cantant in campis: et ablatis capitibus ac alis de cicadis, posui illas cum scarabæis in oleo communi in olla: qua obturata, collocavi postea in furnum in quo panis iacuit, et reliqui illam illic per diem et noctem, extractaque olla, ad ignem calefeci modicum, et totum simul contrivi, tandem renes et pectinem inunxi: et intra triduum cessavit dolor, lapisque comminutus et fractus est, atque exivit.»
