Nobylyte whych she hath gotē of bloude in the hyghest degre, hauynge a most vyctoryouse kynge to her father, & a most vertuouse, & lerned kynge agayne to her brother, is not in the earely sprynge dystayned with wanton ignoraūce, neyther yet blemyshed with the commen vyces of dyssolute youth, But most Plenteously adourned with all kyndes of languages, lernynges, and vertues, to holde it styll in ryght course. The translacyon of thys worke, were euydence stronge ynough, if I had not els to laye for the matter. But marke yet an other moch more effectuall and clere, at the whych not a fewe lerned men in Germany haue wondered. In .iiij. noble languages, Latyne, Greke, Frenche, and Italyane, wrote she vnto me these clauses folowynge. Whych I haue added to thys boke, not only in commendacyon of her lerned youth, but also as an example to be folowed of other noble men and women, cōcernynge their chyldren. The written clauses are these, whych she wrote first with her owne hande, moch more fynely than I coulde with anye prentynge letter set thē fourth. [Sidenote: Latyne.] _Stultus dixit in corde suo, non est Deus. Illi corrupti sunt, & abhominabiles in sua impietate, nullus est qui aliquid boni facit._ [Sidenote: Frenche.] Le foldisoit en sō cœur, il n’a nul Dieu. Ilz sont corumpus & sont abhominables en leur impiete, il n’a nul qui faict bien. [Sidenote: Italiane.] Is stulto disse uel suo core, non v’ e alcuno Dio. Corrutti sono & abhominabile nella loro impietà, nissuno è buono. [Sidenote: Greke.] Ton theon phoboŭ, tous de goneis tima, tous de Philous aeschynou. The first clause in thre lāguages, latyne, Frenche, and Italyane, comprehēdeth thys only sentence, as I shewed afore in the Epystle dedycatory. [Sidenote: Antichrist Hys clergy.] The fole sayth in hys harte, there is no God. Corrupt they are, and abhominable in their wyckednesse (or blasphemyes agaynst God) not one of them doth good. The Greke clause is thus to be Englyshed. [Sidenote: Christiane.] Feare God, honoure thy parentes, and reuerence thy fryndes. [Sidenote: The pope.] [Sidenote: Writers.] [Sidenote: Women.] [Sidenote: All sortes.]
