The answer of the same Epistille ayen to Alexandre. Capitulum ijm.
and thou mowe chaunge the eyre of the lond, and the watris, and the ordinaunce of Citees, than do as thou hast purposid, and ellis nought.

And if thou do thus, y truste in god, alle they shulle be þi meeke subiectis, And obeye alle thi likyngis and comaundementis. And for the loue that they shalle haue to þe, thou shalt regne on them pesibly with gret victory. And whan Alexandre had red this epistille, he did aftir the counselle of them of Perce, and found hem more lowly and obeyshaunt to him than any othir were.
