What must he do then? He must be a student. He must write Gods book him self. Not thinking because he is a king, he hath licence to do what he will, as these worldly flatterers are wont to say. Yea, trouble not your self sir, ye may hawk and hunt, & take your pleasure. As for the guiding1 of your kingdom and people, let us alone with it.

- 1Flattering clawbackers.
These flattering clawbacks are original roots of all mischief, ⟨p. 35⟩and yet a King may take his pastime in hawking or1 hunting or such like pleasures But he must use them for recreation when he is weary of weighty affairs, that he may return to them the more lusty: and this is called pastime with good company. He must write out a book him self. He speaketh of writing because printing was not used2 at that time. And shall the king write it out him self? He meaneth he shall see it written, & rather then he should be without it, write it him self. Jesus mercy is God so chary with a king to have him well brought up & instructed?3
