The begyn-
nyng of vice
is to be cut [af].
L this maie easely be doen, when wickednes is cutte
of, in his firste groweth, when the magistrate driueth
continually, by sworde and aucthoritée, all menne to
obedience, bothe of lawes and [gouernuurs]. Then in al good
common wealthes, vices are neuer tolerated to take roote: be-
cause the beginnyng and increase of vices, is sone pulled vp,
his monsterous kyngdome thereby ouerthrowen.
¶ The conclusion.
SO doyng, happie shall the kyng be, happie kyngdome,
and moste fortunate people.

gyng to any thyng, whiche doeth procede by certaine
