| Front | Volvió otra y otra vez el preguntante a referir lo que primero había dicho, y Sancho dijo: -A mi parecer, este negocio en dos paletas le declararé yo, y es así: el tal hombre jura que va a morir en la horca, y si muere en ella, juró verdad, y por la ley puesta merece ser libre y que pase la puente; y si no le ahorcan, juró mentira, y por la misma ley merece que le ahorquen. |
