'OF HYM THAT TOGYDER WYLL SERVE TWO MAYSTERS' could be a problem
I'm quite interested in Brants work, but the translation of this, if pronounced as written would be total nonsense. My understanding is that by the sixteenth century English spelling was getting out of step with pronunciation for various reasons.
I have tried to interpret the spelling correctly and not sure what else to do and I have to admit some of it is an educated guess.

I'm sorry I let you deal with it, usually I take the early modern English poems, but this one must have slipped my net. Yes, the spelling is unusual often, but you don't have to speak it in ancient tongue 
I am sure Anthony will flag anything that is incomprehensible. But if you made sense out of it, it's probably not that far off the mark. 
Thanks !
