Dear Teachers,
I read about this Middle English text from Dethe of the Kynge of Scotis by John Shirley:
"And thus nowe here endethe this moste pitevous Oronicle of th'oribill dethe of the Kyiige of Scottes, translated oute of latyne into owre moders englisshe tonge by youre symple subget Johan Shirley, in his laste age, after his symple vnderstondynge, whiche he recommendethe to your supportacione and correccion, as that youre gentilnese vowchethe safe for his excuse &c"
I can pretty much decipher most part of it except for "gentilnese vowchethe safe for his excuse". Can anybody tell me what "gentilnese vowchethe safe for his excuse" means in modern English?
