kepe youre herte dylygently occupyed in remembrynge the goodnes of our Lorde to warde you and specyally his gracyous prouydence and longe pacyence that he hath with you from day to daye ¶ And then

your lyues ende I truste in goddes mercy by the prayers of his holy mother and all sayntes / ye shall encrease in good lyfe / and in the loue and fauoure of our lorde Ihesu To whom be all prayse /
