In con[u]eniendo populos in vnum, et reges ut seruiant Domino.

In gaderynge of peplis in oon,
And of kyngis God to serue,
To be stidefast as is the stoon,
In his seruice þat we not s[w]erue,
The wey of truthe we schulde goon,
To trecchery we schulde not [t]erue,
And, if we dide þus euerichoon,
There schulde no care oure cumfort kerue.
