ANd yet agayne well beloued sone I tell y• that the phylosophres haue spoken and sayd. It behoueth that ye royall mageste be gouerned by ryghtwysnesse / & not by faynt apparence / but in dede / to thende y• euery man may se and knowe clerely the goodnesse of the kynge / and that he feare god. And wyll be go∣uerned in godly wayes / than shall he be honoured & doubted. And yf he shewe hym selfe faynynge to be good / and is nought to his subgectes / his yll wer∣kes can not be hyd / nor it may not be but his people shall knowe it He shall be dyspysed of god & shamed in the worlde. And his dedes shalbe lessed / & the ho∣noure of the crowne of his realme shall fayle. what shall I tell ye more? there is no treasure in this world to good fame. And moreouer dere ••one / it besemeth y• thou worshyp clerkes / and pouerte of good men of relygyon / and exalt wyse mē and speke oft with thē. And questyon often of doubtes with them. And de∣maunde many thynges of them. And answer wyse∣ly theyr questyōs. And honoure noble men as eche of them is worthy.
