And gowerne the as that I ſhall declaire.

[Fol. 20 b.]

“First, serve God with humble heart, and let the wand of law pass through the land.

Firſt, thi god with humble hart yow ſerfe,

[1600] And his comand at al thi mycht obſerf;

And ſyne, lat paß the ilk bleſſit wonde

Of lowe with mercy Iuſtly throw thi londe;

And y beſeich—to quhome yow ſal direke

[1604] The rewle vpone, the wrangis to correk—

That yow be nocht in thi electioune blynde;
