Obey your souerayne / and god omnypotent

Whiche is aboue / of all the worlde the rother

Wyll sende you welth / from whome all good is sente

He gyue vs grace to kepe his cõmaundement

And saue our souerayne / with his semely quene

With all theyr bloode / without trouble and tene

 ¶ Amen.

 ¶ Excusacio auctoris

 ¶ Go lytell treatyse submyt the humbly

To our souerayne lorde / to be in his presence

Besechynge his grace to accepte the mekely

And to pardon thy rudenes and neclygence

Unto his hyghnes and regall maieste

 Now ye fayre laydes, wyse and vertuous

I ryght humbly praye you for to condyscende

To accepte my makynge nothynge facundious
