And so wolle he say that redyth or heryth hit. ffor with out the knowlych of the matere that is wryten in this booke, no man may fle evyll and do wele. the which is don for love or drede. or payne or ioye. vt patebit." This passage was then struck out and the statement added: "Beware of fals englysshe."
