Of Iuſtice furth the ilk bleſſit way.
Be true and stable in thy words.
And of thi wordis beis trew and ſtable,
[1672] Spek not to mych, nore be not vareable.
O kingis word ſhuld be o kingis bonde,
And ſaid It is, a kingis word ſhuld ſtond;
O kingis word, among our faderis old,
[1676] Al-out more precious & more ſur was hold
Than was the oth or ſeel of any wight;
A king should be the very light of truth.
