Lo suche a persone enreth sothfast¦ly in to the very true way of peace and in warde quyetnes. ♣ O lorde this short les∣son that thou haste taught me cōteyneth in it selfe muche hyghe perfeccion. It is shorte in wordes but it is full of sentence and frutefull in vertue / for if it were well and faythfully kepte of me / vnrestfulnes shulde nat so lyghtly sprynge in me as it hathe done / for as ofte as I fele my selfe vnrestfull and nat contēted / I fynde that I haue gone from thys lesson and / from thys good and swete doctryne. ★: But thou Lorde Iesu that all thynges haste

vnder thy gouernaunce / & alway loueste the heleth of mannes soule encrease more grace in me that I maye from hensforth fully these teachynges and that I maye do alwaye that shalbe to thy honoure and to the helth of my soule. Amen.
