But your Majesty shall do best to follow this Godly King of the Ninevites, and embrace continually the word of the living God.

Of this we learn that in faith and true repentance, is no diversity between the king and a mean subject. And thus shall it be at the later judgement. The rich, the poor, the king, the subject, y• bishop, the priest, all shall appear naked before the throne of Christ: and be helped nothing there by any title or name of glory. Here the honour and riches have their estimation and glory. Let all men therefore look to amend their faith and living, here in this world.

Of thys we learne that infayth and true repentaunce, is no diuersitie betwene the king and a meane subiect. And thus shall it be at ye later iudgemēt. The rych, the poore, the kyng, the subiect, y• bishop, ye prieste, al shal apere naked before the trone of Christe: and be holpe nothyng there by anye tytle or name of glory. Here the honor and ryches haue theyr estimacion and glorye. Let all men therfore looke to amend theyr fayth and lyuyng, here in thys worlde.
