For þis comenynge / & þe connynge / þat y[e] haue here shewed me!
now dar y do seruice diligent / to dyuers of dignyte,
where for scantnes of connynge y durst no mañ y-se.
So perfitely sethe y hit perceue / my parte y wolle preue and assay; /
boþe by practike and exercise / yet som good lerne y may:
and for youre gentille lernynge / y am bound euer to pray
that oure lorde rewarde you in blis that lasteth aye.”
“Now good soñ, thy self with other þat shalle þe succede,
whiche þus boke of nurture shalle note / lerne, & ouer rede,
pray for the sowle of Iohñ Russelle, þat god do hym mede,
