Davids harp full of most delectable harmony, newly stringed and set in tuneDauids harpe ful of moost delectable armony, newely strynged and set in tune

And for as much as David is a king, & hath vowed unto God to ¹do the office of a true king, which is to maintain virtue and to expulse vice, he will not only provide that he him self keep these commandments, but that all his subjects also keep them even from the hiest to y• lowest. He will do his diligence that there shall no God be worship ⟨image 56⟩ped in his kingdom among his ²people, but the one and alone true God of Israel. Him only shall they honour, worship, praise, serve and love. Neither shall any graven image be suffered to be made in his Realm for to obscure & blot the glory of this almighty god. On the name of this God alone shall all his people call, & fly unto in their adversity praise & commend it for ever and ever, nether shall any of them be so bold as once to swear unjustly by it.

And for as muche as Dauid is a kynge, & hathe vowed vnto God to ¹do the office of a true kynge, whiche is to mayntayne vertue and to expulse vice, he wyll not only prouide that he hym selfe kepe these cōmaū demētes, but that all his subiectes also kepe them euen from the hyest to y• lowest. He wyll do his diligēce that there shall no God be worshyp ⟨image 56⟩ped in his kyngdome amonge hys ²people, but the one and alone true God of Israel. Hym only shall they honour, worshyp, prayse, serue and loue. Nother shal ony grauē ymage be suffred to be made in his Realme for to obscure & blotte the glorye of this almighty god. On the name of this God alone shall all hys people caull, & flye vnto in theyr aduersite prayse & commende it for euer and euer, nether shall ony of them be so bold as once to swere vnistly by it.
