England and Wales. Sovereign (1509-1547 : Henry VIII); Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547.	1542 (1542)	STC 9179; ESTC S4637	14,331	31

on theyr behalfe as it appereth a playne deuise onely excogitate for a delay whyche hath gyuen vs lyght where vpon more certeinly to iudge the king of Scottis inwarde affection towardes vs whose dedes and wordes well wayed and considered dothe vs playnely to vnderstande howe he hath contynually laboured to abuse vs with swete and pleasant wordes and to satisfy the appetites of other at home and abrode with his vnkynde and displeasant dedes In his wordes he professeth an indissoluble amitie he alledgeth kinred he knowlegeth benefites onely the faulte is that he speaketh an other langage to all the worlde in dedes and therby so toucheth vs in honour and denegation of iustyce as we be inforced and compelled to vse the sworde whiche god hath put in our hande as an extreme remedy wherby to obteigne bothe quiete for our subiectes also that is due vnto vs by right pactes and leages WE HAVE paciently suffred many delusions and notably the laste yere when we made preparation at Yorke for his repaire to vs But shuld we suffer our people and subiectes to be so ofte spoyled without remedy This is done by the Scottis what soo euer theyr wordes be Shulde we suffer our rebelles to be deteyned contrary to the leages without remedye This is also done by them what so euer theyr wordes be Shuld we suffer our lande to be vsurped contrary to our most playne euidence onely vpon a wylle pryde and arrogancye of the other partie This is done by them what so euer theyr wordes be And all these be ouer presumptuously done agaynste vs and gyue suche signification of theyr arrogancy as it is necessary for vs to oppresse it in the begynning leste they shuld gather further courage to the greater displeasure of vs and our posteritie hereafter And yet in the entreatyng of this matier if we had not euidently perceyued the lacke of suche affection as proximitie of bloudde shulde require we wold muche rather haue remitted these iniuries in respecte of proximitie of bloud to our Nephieu than we dyd heretofore the inuasion of his father But consyderyng we be so surely ascertayned of the lacke therof and that our bloud is there frorne with the cold ayre of Scotlande there was neuer prynce more vyolently compelled to warre then we be by the vnkynde dealyng vniust behauour vnprincely demeanour of him that yet in nature is our Nephieu and in his actes and dedes declareth hym selfe not to be moued therwith ne to haue suche ernest regarde to the obseruation of his pactes and leages ne such respect to thintreteynment of the administration of Iustice as naturall equitie byndeth and conseruation of amitie dothe require whiche we muche lament and be sory for and vse nowe our force and puissaunce againste hym not for reuengeance of our priuate displeasure being so often deluded as we haue ben but for recouerye of our right the preseruation of our subiectes from iniuries and the obseruation of such leages as haue passed betwene vs firmely trusting that almighty god vnder whom we reigne woll assist and ayde our iust procedinges herein to the furtherance and aduancement of the right whiche we doubt not shal euer preuayle againste wronge falseheade deceipte and dissimulation ¶ HITHERTO it appereth how this present warre hath not proceded of any demaund of our right of superioritie which the kinges of Scottes haue alwais knowleged by homage and fealtie to our progenytours euen from the begynnynge But this warre hath ben prouoked and occasioned vpon present matier of displeasure present iniury present wrong mynistred by the Nephieu to the Vncle most vnnaturally and supported contrary to the desertes of our benefites most vnkindly If we had minded the possession of Scotland and by the motion of warre to atteyne the same there was neuer kynge of this realme had more oportunity in the minority of our Nephieu Ne in any other realme a prince that hath more iuste title more euident title more certayn title to any realme that he can clayme than we haue to Scotland not diuised by pretense of mariage not imagined by couenaunt or contriued by inuention of argument but lineally descended from the begynnynge of that astate established by our progenitours and recognised successiuely of the kinges of Scotlande by dedes wordes actes writinges cōtinually almost without interruption or at the leest intermission til the reigne of our progenitour Henry the VI in whose time the Scottis abused the Ciuile warre of this realme to theyr licence and boldnes in omitting of their dutie whiche for the proximitie of bloudde bitwene vs we haue ben slacke to require of them being also of our selfe inclined to peace as we haue euer been alwayes glad rather without preiudice to omyt to demaunde our right if it myght conserue peace than by demandyng therof to be sene to moue war specially against our neighbour against our Nephieu agaynst hym whom we haue preserued from daungier and in such a tyme as it were expedient for all Christendome to be vnite in peace wherby to be the more able to resist the common ennemy the Turke BVT for what so euer considerations we haue omitted to speake hitherto of the matier it is neuer the lesse true that the kynges of Scottes haue always knowleged the kynges of Englande superior lordes of the realme of Scotlande and haue done homage and fealtie for the same THIS appereth fyrst by historie written by such as for confirmation of the trueth in memory haue truly noted and signified the same SECONDLY it appereth by instrumentes of homage made by the kynges of Scottis and dyuers notable personages of Scotlande at dyuers and sundry times sealed with theyr seales and remaynynge in our Treasorye THIRDLY it appereth by regesters and recordes iudicially and autentiquely made yet preserued for confyrmation of the same So as the matier of title being most playne is furnished also with all maner of euidences for declaration therof FYRST AS concernynge histories whiche be called witnesses of tymes the lyghte of trueth and the lyfe of memory and fynally the conuenient way and meane wherby thinges of antiquitie may be brought to mens knowlege they shewe as playnly this mattier as coulde be wyshed or required with such a consent of writers as coulde not so agree vppon an vntruth conteynyng declaration of such matier as hath most euident probabilitie and apparance For as it is probable and lykely that for the better administration of iustyce amonges rude people two or mo of one astate might be rulers in one countrie vnite as this Isle is so is it probable and lykely that in the beginnyng it was so ordred for auoydinge discention that there shulde be one superiour in righte of whom the sayd astates shuld depende According whervnto we rede howe Brutus of whom the realme than callyd Brytayn toke fyrst that name being before that tyme inhabited with gyauntes people without order or ciuilitie had thre sonnes Locrine Albanact and Camber and determinyng to haue the whole
