A91202 King Richard the Third revived. Containing a memorable petition and declaration contrived by himself and his instruments, whiles Protector, in the name of the three estates of England, to importune and perswade him to accept of the kingship, and crown of England, by their joynt election, (as if he were unwilling to undertake, or accept, though he most ambitiously aspired after them, by the bloudy murthers of K. Henry 6. Edward 5. and sundry others) before his coronation; presented afterwards to, and confirmed by the three estates and himself, in his first Parliament, to give him a colourable title both by inheritance, and their election to the crown.

that_o the_o land_n be_v rule_v by_o self-will_n and_o pleasure_n fear_v and_o dread_n all_o manner_n of_o equity_n and_o law_n lay_v apart_o and_o despise_a whereof_o ensue_v many_o inconvenience_n
