☞Probations out of the holy Scriptures.
The king shall not multiply horses to him self:1 neither ought he to multiply wives unto him self, least his hart turn away: neither shall he gather him silver and gold to much. And when he is set upon the seat of his kingdom, he shall write him out a copy of this law in a book. And it shall be with him, and he ought to read therein ⟨image 66⟩all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep all the words of this law, and these ordinances, for to do them, and that his hart arise not above his brethren, and that he turn not from the commandment, to the right hand or to the left, but that he may prolong his days in his kingdom.
The king shall not multiplie horses to him self:1 neither ought he to multiply wiues vnto him self, least his hart turne away: neither shall he gather him siluer and golde to much. And when he is set vpon the seate of hys kingdome, hee shall write hym out a copie of this lawe in a booke. And it shall bee with hym, and hee ought to read therin ⟨image 66⟩all the dayes of his life, that he may learne to feare the Lorde hys God, and to keepe all the wordes of this lawe, and these ordinaunces, for to doe them, and that his hart arise not aboue his brethren, and that he turne not frō the commaūdement, to the right hand or to the left, but that he may prolong his dayes in hys kingdome.
