the Sauyoure of the whole worlde desyred and loked for of all ages Fyrste of al this is not vnknowen to you good Chrysten people that the honourynge and worshypyng of the moste holy and blyssed virgyne Marye consystyth and restyth pryncypallye or chefelye in .iiii. thynges that is to wyt in laudes or prayses in honoures in callynge vpon her and in Imytacyon or folowynge of her lyfe of the

with moste honourable tytles or names but not euery one that saythe to me lady lady shall entre into the kyngdom of my sone but they onely whiche folowynge the example of my sone do obey the cōmaundementes of god and whiche endeuourynge them selues to expresse and counterfayte the example gyuen of me do laboure to obtayne the fauour of my sone by folowynge of his mother in whom what so euer thyng is worthy to be folowed it is y e gyfte of the sone Let vs not therfore suppose or byleue that the moste holy vyrgyn hath delyte or is pleased with such fastes wherwith some men vpon certayne dayes do honoure worshyp her fastynge onely for this entent that the next daye folowyng they may the more largely be made dronken or that she hath delyte or pleasur in those songes whiche certayne persons do synge vnto her whiche are moste corrupte with flesshely luste and ryote or that she hath delyte in theyr gyftes and offerynges which are on all sydes
