And when the king is set in the seat of his kingdom, he shall write him out a book, and take a copy of the priests or1 Levites. He shall have the book with him, and why? to read in it all the days of his life, to learn to fear god, and learn his laws, and other things, as it followeth in the text with the appurtenances and hangings on, that he turn not from God, ne there to the right hand, nor to the left. And wherefore shall he do this? that he may live long, he and his children. Hitherto goeth the text. That I may declare this the better to the edifying of your souls & the glory of God, I shall desire you to pray &c. Et postquā. &c. Before I enter into this place (right honourable audience) to furnish it accordingly, which by the grace of god I shall do at leisure, I would repeat that place I was in last, & furnish it with an history or two, which I left out in my last sermon. I was in a matter concerning the […] of the Jews, a […] and […] kind of people, ⟨image 189⟩like our English men now a days, that in the minority2 of a king, take upon them to break laws, & to go by walls.

He shall haue the boke with him, and why? to reade in it al the daies of his life, to learn to fear god, and learne hys lawes, and other things, as it foloweth in the text with the appurtenances and hangings on, that he turn not from God, ne ther to the right hand, nor to the left. And wherfore shall he do this? that he may liue long, he and his children. Hitherto goeth the text. That I may declare this the better to the edifying of your souls & the glory of God, I shal desyre you to pray &c. Et postquā. &c.
