1Wherefore gracious king remember your self, have pity upon your soul, and think that the day is even at hand when you shall give accounts of your office and of the blood that hath been shed with your sword. In the which day that your grace may stand steadfastly and be not ashamed, but to be clear and ready in your reckoning & to have (as they say) your Quites est, sealed with the blood of our Saviour Christ which only serveth at that day,2 is my daily prayer to him that suffered death for our sins, which also prayeth to his father for grace for us continually. To whom be all honour and praise for ever. Amen. The spirit of God preserve your Grace. Anno Domini 1530. 1. die Decembris.
