[To Kyng without colour that lyst to keepe Iustice]

To Kyng without colour that lyst to keepe Iustice,
The nearest way most honorable and easie,
Ys corrupt men to suffer in no wyse,
By false affection or parcialitie,
To execute the office of Iustice duely,
And yf in this poynt a Prince be negligent,
His mind perswaded may be fully,
He shall incurre Gods dreedfull iudgement.
