268 My lord said she I beseche yow in all humblesse that ye  
 wil not wilfully replye ayenst my reson / ne distempre  
 your herte though I speke thing that you displese 269 For god  
 woot that is not myn entente / I speke hit for your beste .  
 for your honour and prouffyt eke 270 And sothly I hope that  
 your benignite will take it in pacience / 271 that your counceyll  
 as in this caas ne shold not as to speke properly be callyd  
 a conceillyng but a monition or a meuyng folye / 272 in whiche  
 counceyll 273 ye haue erryd in thassemblyng of your counceyl  
 lours 274 For ye shold first haue cleped a fewe folke to your  
 counceyll And after that ye myght haue shewed to moo  
 folke yf hit had be nede 275 But certes ye haue sodenly cleped  
 to your counceyll a grete multitude of peple ful chargeant  
 and ful anoyous for to here . 276 Also ye haue erryd for there  
 as ye sholde haue cleped to your counceyll your trewe fren  
 des olde and wyse / 277 ye haue cleped strange folk . false and  
 flaterers and enemyes reconsiled and folk . that don yow  
 reuerence withoute loue . 278 And also ye haue erryd for ye  
 haue brought with yow yre . couetyse & hastynes / 279 the whiche  
 thre thinges ben contraryous to euery honest counceyll and  
 prouffitable / 280 and whiche thre thinges ye haue not amenused  
 ne distroyed neyther in your self ne in your counceyllours  
 as ye ought / 281 ye haue erryd also for ye haue shewid to your  
 counceyllours your talent & your affection to make warre  
 anon and for to doo vengeance / 282 They haue aspyed by your  
 menyng to what thing ye be enclyned / 283 and therfore haue  
 they counceylled yow rather to your talente than to your  
 prouffit / 284 ye haue erryd also for yow semeth that it suffiseth
