Forðæm sua sua unwærlicu & giemeleaslicu spræc menn dweleð , sua eac sio ungemetgode suige ðæs lareowes on gedwolan gebringð ða ðe he læran meahte , gif he sprecende beon wolde .
because so so unguarded & careless speech men lead astray so also the excessive silence the teacher in error brings them that he teach may if he speaking be wanted
(cocura,CP:15.89.7.571) ʻFor as unguarded and careless speaking leads men astray, so the excessive silence of the teacher leads into error those whom he might teach if he were willing to speak.’ (Sweet)
