If

Despyte dysdayne or presūpcyon
Beware of them they ar nat sure
Of them cometh great abusyon
Cast fro the collaudacion
Uayne glorye with mysgouernaunce
Fle fro fals ymagynacion
Fle bostynge and oultrecuy daunce
Despyte dysdayne or presūpcyon
Beware of them they ar nat sure
Of them cometh great abusyon
Cast fro the collaudacion
Uayne glorye with mysgouernaunce

If suche vyces on the do warre
Them & theyr workes se thou despyse
Costreyne them by myght to stande a farre
Pray humilyte the to promyse

But aboue all I the aduyse
Be meke of thyn entencyon
Them & theyr workes se thou despyse
Costreyne them by myght to stande a farre
Pray humilyte the to promyse
Hyr helpe/and socoure in any wyse

But aboue all I the aduyse
Be meke of thyn entencyon
Humilyte must be the cheyf
Agaynst pryde grounde of all vyce

Do so that thou mayst haue iustice
Gete gode prouysyon if thou be wyse
Let hym euer kepe the vantgarde
Than shall pryde full of all malyce
Renounsynge the auoyde rewarde
Agaynst pryde grounde of all vyce
But for to kepe the fro myscheyf
Do so that thou mayst haue iustice
Gete gode prouysyon if thou be wyse
Let hym euer kepe the vantgarde
Than shall pryde full of all malyce
Renounsynge the auoyde rewarde
