[Sidenote: [written vertically] GILES DU WES]
Grace of God that I love so moche
G race de Dieu que jayme tant
I your requier ryght humbly
I e uous requier treshumblement
the gift of love without any further
L e don damour sans plus auant
of it to make any refuce
E n faire aulcun refusement
If ye do fynde in any wise
S e uous trouues aulcunement
of me service, but in trouth
D e moy seruice quen loyaulte
I gyve you leve utterly
U ous habandonne entierement
to wyll at all at your wyll
U oulloir du tout a uoulente
toward me to use of great rigour
U ers moy user de grant rigeur
and me to banysshe from all good hap
E t me bannir de tout bon heur
without more of me to have pite.
S ans plus de moy auoir pite.
Sola salus seruire Deo, sunt cetera fraudes.
