Of you thre ſpecially, and of duetie
Great payne and buſines as for mine owne

And many be ſo wilfull, they will not be reformable. 540

wealth Syr I pray you pardon vs of our ignoraunce now
I ſe well ye know vs better than we do you

Remdi I pardon you, for I doo know you wel both
welth, and helth, is your right names
The which Gngland to forbere were very loth
For by welth and helth commeth great fames
Many other renlmes for our great welth ſhames

To ſtryue againe England, or any right with holde.

R md My actoritie is geuen to me moſt ſpeciall
To maintaine you three, in this realme to be
What mine intent is. I wyl tel, but not all
For that were to longe to reherſe of a ſurety
And I deſyre you all for to be louing to me
For your owne eaſe, come welth and profyt

Wealth Good remedy, then we muſt deſyre your aydyng 560
For by good remedy cometh all our prefercing.

And to be reformable for your owne eaſe
It is not the thynge that lieth only in me
But my good wyl, therfore I wyl not ceaſe
To haue your loue and fauour, and therby to pleaſe
Al the worlde ouer, and to promote ehis realme
That you thre may proſper, ye percelue what I mene
The chiefe parte of all welth lyeth in great eſtates
Theyr ſubſtance and landes. is right commendable 570
Prelates of the churche is welthy of ryches
Merchaūtes hath marchaūdiſe & goods incōperable
Mē of law & franklins is welthy which is laudable
Thus welth of riches is deuided diuerſe wayes
And to theſe many charges, come now a dayes

Health My hert reioyſeth to here your good reporting
Much are we bound to god, which prouideth althing

Remdi Forſoth here is not halfe that I could reherſe
The benefits of god that be ſheweth to you welth
Consider Englyſhmen, how valiant they be & ferce 580
Of al nacions none ſuch, when they haue their helth
No land can do vs harme, but wyth falſehod or ſtelth
