For I full certify you, extortioners, violent oppressors, in grossers of tenements and lands, through1 whose covetousness, villages decay and fall down, the kings liege people for lack of sustenance are famished and decayed. They be those which speak a gaynste the honour of the king. God requireth in the king and all magistrates a good hart, to walk directly in his ways. And in all subjects, an obedience dew unto a king. Therefore I pray god both the2 king and also we his people may endeavour diligently to walk in his ways, to his great honour and our profit. Let him not prepare unto him self to many wives. &c.
