[Chyfest is peace, but yf by extremitye]
Thomas Phayer.
Chyfest is peace, but yf by extremitye,
Thou be enforced to fyght for thyne owne,
Learne here the science and actes of chyualdrye
Pollicies, & priuities, to many men vnknowen:
Wherby thyne enemyes may be ouerthrowen.
In suche a necessitie shalt thou neuer fynde
Suche an other treasure: kepe it wel in mynde.
REX INETERNVM VIVE.
