syght Comforting frutes flowers earbes grasse So doth our king al other kynges passe ¶ I wold to Chryst that my edicion Accordyng to my iudgement Myght take effecte like my intencion In thynges condyng worthy or equiuolent Unto his grace this tyme present Then wolde I the truthe declare Which am inforced with termes rude bare ¶ Yet neuerthelesse my inwarde desyre Without any more loquacitee Greatly I seke as reason doth requyre For to approue his noble maiestie Of all other kinges to haue the soueraintee As sonne and ayre to lusty dame nature Resemblyng her person shape and fygure ¶ I dare alledge as in this case That nature sought tyme oportune When she first formed his noble grace Onely by respecte of gentell Fortune All other causes for to contune Assured to gether by promise bounde That in his parson no faulte were founde ¶ Thus hathe nature by great aduisemente With circumspecte deliberacion Full lyke a Goddesse pure and excellent shewed her powre and mighty operacion Nothyng reseruyng at his creacion Whiche myght his nobilitee aduaunce Unto his byrthe she gaue suche attendaunce ¶ With strength beawtie and semelynesse She hath amplyfyed his courage Most renoumed

lately put in vre Of his lawes nowe are we made sure Among the mountaynes hilles and vales Now is it England somtime called Wales ¶ And further in this to reporte Accordyng to his mercifull yousage Our abusions onely to transporte Hath deuised with his counsayl sage Wales to conducte from all bondage Brefely to conclude this to vnderstand Priuileged we ar with the lawes of EnglaÌ„d ¶ Like as Minos that famous kyng Somtime raignyng in the land of Crete Full renoumed for science and connyng Founde out the lawes most holsome swete Grounded on reason with vertue replete Ministryng them as a

purchace Thus of his liuyng and bountifull grace Preparyng in tyme them to aduaunce Onely by lawe and Ciuil ordinaunce ¶ Though he wer a kyng with scepter and To execute right nothig disdained croune For all his fame his princely renoume In iudgement sate his domes vnfarned Loue nor hate his person constrayned But like the deserte as then did appere His sentence gaue with right princely there ¶ Methamorphosios there may ye se Of Mines the princely gouernaunce Also of Scille voyde of all pitie Her father slewe with cruell veugeaunce Onely of Minos to haue acquaintaunce And he agayne like a ryghtfull kyng Gaue sentence plain her dede condempning ¶ For to affyrme and brefely conclude Our partie in this fully to sustayne Unto Minos with lyke similitude Let vs aduaunce our kyng and souerayne In all thynges that dothe appertayne Unto Justice or good gouernaunce By lawe reason or Ciuill ordynaunce ¶ Was there euer yet any prince liuyng In Chronicle story or sentence playne His noble grace in this resemblyng Or common welthe for to sustayne Or for our sake vndertoke suche payne As dothe his grace this present tyme Us to preserue from damnable cryme ¶ Howe far were we out of oure way For lacke of Justice and good gouernaunce Was there euer any before this day Kyng or prynce of suche remembraunce Us to instructe by lawe or ordinaunce Wherby we myght our foly redresse Till now his grace the truthe to confesse ¶ Whiche by study and diligent laboure Most circumspectly herein aduised For to reforme our olde behauiour His gracious lawes to vs hath commised To the entent we shulde not be supprised By bondage inforced with crueltee From olde customes set vs at lybertee ¶ We must of force the truthe confesse We cannot well our selues excuse Our deedes playnely beareth witnesse Of our folly and great abuse Olde customes had lothe to refuse Surely at the fyrste howe they began Not pleasyng to God nether yet to man. ¶ For among al some customes we had Whiche before God were intollerable As I suppose all men beyng sadde Will graunt it trewe and veritable A thyng vniuste falce and flexable Though some affirmed their customes sure By Charter Riall euer to indure ¶ Some Lordes no doute had great rialtie Conserued by kinges in times long past In Forest and Chace hauyng libertie But not their subiectes
