And so there came to hym a pylgrym / & prayed hym for y^e loue of god & our lady & saynt Iohn the euangelyst some good for to gyue hym. And the kyng pryuely toke his rynge of his fynger / y^t no man perceyued it / & gaue it to the pilgrym / & he it receyued & went thens. This king Edward made all y^e good lawes of Eng∣londe / that yet ben moost vsed & holden. And he was so mercyable and so full of pyte / that no man myght be more.
