Well the Kings grace hath sisters, my Lady Mary, and my Lady Elizabeth, which by succession and course, are inheritors to the Crown. Who i• they should marry with strangers, what should ensue GOD knoweth. But god grant they never come unto coursing, nor succeeding. Therefore to avoid this plague, let us amend our lives and put away all pride which doth drown men in this realm at those days, all covetousness where in the magistrates and tyche men of this ⟨image 16⟩realm are over whelmed, all lechery and other excessive vices, provoking God's wrath, were he not merciful, even to take from us our natural king and liege Lord, yea, and to plague us with a strange king for our unrepentant heart. Wherefore (if as ye say) ye love the king amend your lives,1 and then ye shall be a mean that GOD shall lend him us long to reign over us, for undoubtedly since provoke much God's wrath scripture sayeth.

Therefore to auoyd thys plage, lette vs amende oure lyues and put awaye all pryde whyche dothe drowne menne in thys realme at those dayes, all couetousnes where in the magistrates and tyche men of thys ⟨image 16⟩realme are ouer whelmed, all lechery and other excessyue vyces, prouokyng goddes wrath, were he not mercyefull, euen to take from vs oure natural kyng and leyge Lord, yea, and to plage vs wyth a straunge kynge for oure vnrepentaunte herte. Wherefore (if as ye sai) ye loue the king amende youre lyues,1 and then ye shalbe a meane that GOD shall lende hym vs longe to raygne ouer vs, for vndowtedlye synnes prouoke muche goddes wrath scripture sayeth.
