GUDE COUNSALS.

Luife vertew ower all and all vycis flie;
Wickitnes hait alwayes guidness imbrace;
Remuive rancour, and ay keip cherritie;
Proudness detaist, invy fra thé far chace;
Grediness never lat in thé tak place;
Be honorabill, and weill credens keip;
Besines not slouthe haivand tyme and space;
Trewlie serve God, and als for synnis weip.

Thir aucht lynes ye may begin at ony nuke ye will, and reid backward or forward, and ye sall fynd the lyk sentence and meter.
