Diuisiō		¶I pray thee by what meane.
Iniuri.		¶Albyon hath lent Justyce to Pryncypaltie
		To haue assystence, and mee to suffreyntie
		Of the Lordes temporall to haue theyr ayde
		That Justyce in no wyse shuld be delayde.
		And this thou knowest well inough perdye
		Thus they meane to destroy thee and mee
		And as for Justyce foorth is gone
		Speede as he can, but I taryd alone
		And yet I wolde no messenger bee
		Tyll I had the advyce of thee
		Therfore how sayest thou now in thys case
		Wee shall not be idle to play at thys bace.
Diuisiō.		¶Tush as for this I care not a puddyng pryck
		For wee two wyll go torow thyn and thycke
		Maygresse theyr heades euerychone
		Though they be as harde as rocke or stone
Iniury		¶I pray thee tell mee howe
Diuisiō.		¶Fyrst I my selfe wyll enterpryse
		That peace shall haue no exersyse
		Betweene the comons and Pryncypalytie
		Nor betweene lords spiritual & lords of the tempo⸗
Iniuri		¶Or yu go any further tel me by what mene (raltie
Diuisiō.		¶I haue two spyes of great exercyse
		The one is called Double Deuyce
		Aym wyll I fende I may tell thee
		Unto the court to Pryncypalytye,
		And hym wyll I charge that wyth hys prouisyon
		Pryncypalytye and the comons to set at dyuysyon
		The seconde spye is called olde debate
		A synguler felow with a ballyd pate
		Aym wyll I fend to the lordes spirituall
		To cause them to wrangle wt the lords temporall.
