The syxte Sermon os Maister Hugh 〈…〉, whiche he 〈…〉 before K. Edward, the xii. day of 〈…〉.
QVecunque scripta sunt ad nostiam doctrinam scripta sunt. Al things that are written, they […] to be […]. What doctrine is […] for […] in yt 8. Chap. of the first book of the kings, I […] partly show unto you (most honourable audience) this […] sennight, of that good ma n father Samuel, that good judge how good a man he was, what helpers, and coadjutors, he toke unto him, to have his office well discharged. I told you also of the wickedness of his sons, how they toke […], and lived wickedly, and by that means, brought both their father, and themselves to deposition. And how the people did offend God in asking a king in father Samuel's time. And how father Samuel was put from his office, who deserved it not. I opened to you also, how father Samuel clears him self, that he knew not the faults of his sons: he was no bearer with his sons, he was sorry for it, when he heard it: but he would not bear with them in their wickedness, Filii mei vobiscum sunt, my sonnes are with you saith he. Do with them according to their deserts, I will not maintain them, nor bear with them. After that he clears himself at the kin ges feet, that the people […] nothing to burden him with all, neither money, nor money worth. In treating of that part, I chanced to show you, what I heard of a man that was slain, and I hear say it was not well taken. Forsooth I intend not to impair any mans estimation or honesty, & they that enforce it to that, enforce it not to my meaning. I said I heard, but of such a thing, and toke occasion by that, that I heard, to speak against that thing, that I knew to be naught that no man should bear with any man to yt maintenance of voluntary and prepensed murder. And I hear say since, the man was other wise an honest man, and they that spake for him, are honest men. I am […] enough to credit it. I spake not because I would have any mans honesty impaired.
