[Nowe then would Princes to Churchly promotion]

Nowe then would Princes to Churchly promotion,
Aduaunce none other, but men of suffisance,
VVhich truely should keepe their state and profession,
Seeking soules health without dissimulance.


Gracious and godly in their gouernace,
So might Princes in fame and meede increase,
Causyng the Cleargy keepe good obseruance,
should bridle many from hurtful blindnes.
