One of thy brethren must thou make king over thee, and mayst not set a stranger over thee, which is not of thy brethren. But in any wise, let him not hold to many horses, that he bring not the people again to Egypt, through the multitude of horses, for as much as the Lord hath said unto you: ye shall hence forth go no more again that way. Also he shall not have to many wives, lest his hart turn away, nether shall he gather him silver and gold to much. As in divers other places of scripture is mete matter for all […]. So in this foresaid place is described chiefly the doctrine fit for a king. But who is worthy to utter th is doctrine before our most noble king? Not I God knoweth, ⟨image 182⟩which am through age, both weak in body & oblivious, […] apt I am, not only because of painful study, but also for yt short warning. Well unto god I will make my moan, who never failed me. Auxiliator in necessitatibus. God is my helper in all my all my necessities, To him alone will I make my petition. To pray unto saints departed I am not taught, to desire like grace of god as they had (right godly it is) or to believe god to be no less merciful unto us (being faithful) then he was unto them, greatly comfortable it is. Therefore only unto god let us lift up our hearts and say the Lord's prayer.
