Al the worlde ouer, and to promote ehis realme
That you thre may prosper, ye percelue what I mene
The chiefe parte of all welth lyeth in great estates
Theyr substance and landes. is right commendable 570
Prelates of the churche is welthy of ryches
Mercha[=u]tes hath marcha[=u]dise & goods incõperable
M[=e] of law & franklins is welthy which is laudable
Thus welth of riches is deuided diuerse wayes
And to these many charges, come now a dayes

+Health+ My hert reioyseth to here your good reporting
Much are we bound to god, which prouideth althing

+Remdi+ Forsoth here is not halfe that I could reherse
The benefits of god that be sheweth to you welth
Consider Englyshmen, how valiant they be & ferce 580
Of al nacions none such, when they haue their helth
No land can do vs harme, but wyth falsehod or stelth
rem[=e]bre what nõbre of m[=e], or artilerie & good ordinãce
Specially [the] grace of god, which is our chief forderãce
If there be any that wyll grudge, surmyce or doo
Againe welth, helth & libertie, then must I for [the] same
Shew mine auctorite and power, for to remedy it so
That none of you shall diminishe, nor amisse be tane
I good remedy therfore may & will speake [with]out blãe
For the comen welth, & helth both of the soule & body 590
