A96516	The sope-patentees of Londons petition opened and explained. Or, The unmasking of these cruel sope-patentees deceitful petition, presented by them to the Honorable House of Commons. Wherein you have a discovery made (in part and but in part) of the great sufferings of this common-wealth: as also of the special sufferings of some free-born subjects in their liberties and estates, sustained by these cruel sope-monopolers. / By Richard Wilkins.

petitioner_n suffering_n by_o the_o patent_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o other_o patentee_n be_v express_v in_o the_o two_o first_o branch_n of_o this_o petition_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o think_v it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a truth_n which_o they_o have_v set_v forth_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v or_o do_v render_v they_o the_o more_o excusable_a nor_o be_v their_o sin_n in_o take_v their_o oppress_a patent_n extenuate_v thereby_o but_o aggravate_v and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o they_o act_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o against_o light_n namely_o the_o sin_n of_o oppression_n not_o of_o a_o ordinary_a but_o of_o a_o scarlet_a dye_n not_o only_o act_v unrighteous_a decree_n but_o procurer_n of_o they_o thus_o make_v their_o prince_n a_o oppressor_n to_o his_o people_n by_o their_o false_a pretence_n in_o not_o only_o a_o law_n destroy_v but_o a_o land_n ruinate_v sin_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v demonstrate_v unto_o we_o by_o four_o thing_n in_o these_o first_o &_o second_o branch_n so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o they_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o unprofitable_a servant_n they_o may_v be_v judge_v out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n which_o be_v well_o consider_v will_v render_v the_o petitioner_n enemy_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o patentee_n not_o only_o to_o the_o king_n majesty_n but_o also_o to_o the_o law_n liberties_n and_o estate_n of_o the_o subject_a in_o their_o take_n of_o a_o patent_n i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o one_o scripture_n instance_n which_o do_v apt_o prove_v the_o argument_n and_o render_v these_o patentee_n great_a offender_n and_o sinner_n than_o the_o other_o and_o then_o i_o will_v name_v the_o four_o particular_n by_o they_o express_v adam_n sin_v as_o well_o as_o the_o woman_n in_o eat_v the_o

this_o three_o general_a head_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o answer_n in_o these_o two_o particular_n the_o answer_n to_o those_o thing_n express_v 1._o that_o those_o person_n which_o these_o patentee_n do_v suppress_v from_o boil_a soap_n do_v boil_v better_a soap_n than_o the_o patentee_n and_o do_v sell_v to_o the_o subject_n at_o cheap_a rate_n this_o i_o can_v prove_v by_o multitude_n of_o evidence_n and_o reason_n tell_v every_o rational_a man_n that_o it_o have_v be_v neither_o policy_n or_o profit_n for_o they_o to_o have_v boil_a base_a soap_n the_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o be_v these_o two_o 1._o because_o that_o man_n buy_v of_o soap_n prohibit_v by_o these_o patentee_n they_o do_v endanger_v not_o only_o the_o seize_v of_o the_o say_a soap_n but_o also_o the_o be_v much_o vex_v and_o trouble_v by_o the_o cruel_a and_o illegal_a persecution_n of_o their_o illegal_a court_n for_o what_o soap_n be_v make_v by_o any_o that_o be_v not_o patentees_n be_v sound_n be_v seize_v whether_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o maker_n or_o buyer_n of_o it_o 2._o because_o that_o when_o man_n may_v buy_v soap_n free_o that_o will_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v defraud_v and_o run_v a_o danger_n too_o this_o be_v sufficient_a for_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o and_o second_o particular_n and_o do_v declare_v that_o as_o this_o be_v that_o false_a pretence_n by_o which_o they_o deceive_v the_o king_n and_o gain_v their_o patent_n so_o it_o be_v their_o vain_a word_n to_o deceive_v the_o parliament_n their_o end_n undoubted_o be_v to_o divert_v they_o from_o do_v justice_n by_o render_v the_o oppress_a soap-boilers_a odious_a to_o the_o parliament_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o be_v deceiver_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n by_o base_a soap_n now_o they_o be_v petition_v the_o parliament_n for_o justice_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v neither_o by_o bond_n bind_v nor_o by_o the_o lord_n warrant_v command_v to_o suppress_v any_o from_o sope-boyling_a which_o have_v a_o right_a to_o boil_v as_o they_o have_v allege_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n warrant_n be_v not_o warrant_n command_v these_o patentee_n to_o seize_v soap_n against_o their_o will_n as_o they_o do_v affirm_v but_o be_v warrant_n of_o assistance_n by_o these_o patentee_n sue_v for_o and_o by_o they_o procure_v of_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o same_o self_n pretence_n by_o which_o they_o gain_v their_o patent_n command_v power_n to_o aid_v and_o assist_v their_o cruel_a barbarous_a and_o bloodsucking_a agent_n in_o their_o execution_n of_o the_o illegal_a deputation_n which_o these_o patentee_n do_v issue_n forth_o under_o the_o seal_n of_o their_o illegal_a company_n for_o confirmation_n whereof_o and_o to_o complete_a the_o answer_v of_o this_o three_o general_a head_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o view_n of_o the_o lord_n warrant_v by_o they_o obtain_v whereas_o divers_a great_a abuse_n and_o deceit_n have_v be_v and_o be_v due_o commit_v

soap-boilers_a of_o london_n for_o recovery_n of_o of_o their_o loss_n and_o damage_n which_o they_o express_v as_o a_o grievance_n and_o demonstrate_v it_o by_o these_o two_o particular_n 1._o that_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o prosecution_n they_o have_v expend_v 1000_o l._n 2._o that_o some_o have_v recover_v 1000_o l._n some_o 500_o l._n some_o 300._o l._n and_o yet_o upon_o proof_n they_o have_v not_o be_v damnify_v five_o pound_n the_o answer_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v to_o both_o these_o particular_n brief_o shall_v be_v this_o and_o first_o to_o answer_v the_o first_o particular_a which_o be_v their_o expense_n of_o one_o thousand_o pound_n be_v prosecute_v by_o law_n the_o answer_n be_v threefold_a 1._o the_o prosecution_n be_v a_o just_a and_o legal_a prosecution_n for_o recovery_n of_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o several_a damage_n and_o loss_n sustain_v by_o these_o cruel_a projector_n barbarous_a prosecution_n of_o their_o illegal_a patent_n a_o just_a mean_n of_o relief_n against_o and_o unjust_a oppression_n which_o have_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o parliament_n approbation_n for_o its_o vindication_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o this_o prosecution_n because_o that_o these_o patentee_n will_v not_o make_v restitution_n without_o suit_n of_o law_n unless_o they_o will_v accept_v of_o that_o satisfaction_n which_o they_o will_v give_v they_o which_o be_v not_o a_o half_a penny_n no_o not_o to_o some_o a_o farthing_n for_o a_o penny_n whatever_o they_o do_v pretend_v 3._o that_o if_o they_o have_v spend_v 1000_o l._n sure_a i_o be_o that_o some_o of_o it_o must_v be_v spend_v either_o in_o a_o corrupt_a or_o excessive_a way_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v that_o thief_n be_v good_a guest_n upon_o the_o road_n spend_v free_a yet_o they_o have_v make_v great_a advantage_n by_o that_o expense_n because_o the_o detainer_n of_o the_o complainants_n money_n by_o vexatious_a delay_n for_o these_o five_o year_n and_o upward_o have_v be_v annual_o at_o least_o 1500._o l._n benefit_n to_o they_o i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v their_o expression_n that_o the_o recovery_n be_v unreasonable_a that_o have_v be_v recover_v against_o they_o namely_o that_o some_o have_v recover_v 1000_o l._n some_o 500_o l._n some_o 300._o l._n and_o yet_o never_o be_v damnify_v five_o pound_n the_o answer_n be_v the_o falsity_n of_o this_o their_o affirmation_n be_v so_o obvious_a that_o no_o rational_a man_n will_v give_v credit_n to_o it_o but_o because_o it_o imply_v either_o a_o unrighteousness_n or_o oppression_n in_o the_o
