l. ¶Of the wysdome and ordy∣naunce of a kynge.

IT is behouefull & ryght that y^• good fame of a kynge / be in honourable scyence and wor∣thynesse (thoroughout al realmes) to be shed frome his realme / and haue cōmunycacyon of theyr wyse councel with his. And therby he shall be praysed / honoured / & doubted of his sub∣gectes / whan theyse y^• he speketh and doth his wer¦kes wysely. For easely is perceyued the wysdome or foly of a kynge / for whā he gouerneth hym in wor¦thynesse towarde his subgectes / he is worthy to rey¦gne honourably. But he that putteth his realme in seruytude or thraldom / of euyll customes / he breketh the way of veryte. And dyspyseth the good way and lawe of god. And at y^• last be dyspraysed of all folkes / as he hath deser••ed.
