Gregory in the Sixt year of King Edward the Third AT this day these two Articles were read before the King and Councel and after proclaimed in Westminster and London and more was not this day for the Archbishop of Canterbury and others were not come The first was that no man upon pain to lose all he had should use or wear any coat of Plate or other weapon in London Westminster or the Suburbs of the same The second was That no games or other plays of men women or children should be used in VVestminster to the disturbance of the Parliament After that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London Chancellor of England by way of Oration sheweth how the French King went to take a voyage to the Holy Land and desired the Kings Company which caused the King to call the same Parliament That being said Sir Ieffery le Scroop in the presence of the King by his commandment declared That the same was called as well to redress the breach of the Laws and Peace as for the Kings going to the Holy Land The Bishops answered That it did not properly appertain to them to councel in matters of peace and to prescribe for the punishment of evils and therefore they and the Proctors of the Clergie went by themselves to consult therein and the Lords and the Commons by themselves The Lords and the Commons return and by the mouth of Sir Henry Beomont think it best to treat of matters of Peace namely that certain Justices should be appointed in every County and of their power to determine that in every shire certain Officers with the Constables be appointed for apprehending of the evill
and levying of Hu● and Cry And it was by the King Bishops Lords and Commons enacted and agreed that a sentence of Excommunication should be published in every Church throughout the Realm 1.

That all Obligations and such like instruments thereupon made be utterly void so far as lyeth in the Bishop and all others or by them dispenced By the fift and sixt titles before it may appear that at this time the Lords and Commons were of one House and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons Touching the Kings Voyage to the Holy Land it was thought too timely and therefore deferred for three years Touching the Treaty with the French and alliance by Marriage The King by Sir Ieffery le Scroop sheweth How the French King declareth to the Kings Ambassador that so as the King would come over in person he should finde great friendship Of whom requi●ing advice therein Answer was made That for those respect● they agreed thereunto deferring the Kings expedition into Ireland for one year so as aid might be sent in the mean time The Saturday next after the beginning of the Parliament the same was dissolved Touching the debate between Sir Iohn Grey of Rotherfield and Sir William de la Zouch which was heard before the King and his Councel in whose presence there fell great wo●ds between them so as the said Iohn drew his knife upon him in the Kings presence for the which they were both commanded to prison and being after brought forth to their answers the said William was delivered and the said Iohn recommitted to prison during the Kings pleasure Anno Sexto Edwardi Tertii The Parliament holden at Westminster the morrow after the Nativity of our Lady in the Sixth year of King E. 3.

Hilary in the 21 year of the Reign of King Edw. 3. of England and of France the 8 th PRoclamation made the first day by the Kings Commandment That no person shall use or bear any Arms within London and the Suburbs or in any place between the said City and Pallace of Westminster nor in no other part of the Pallace by Land or by Water except such of the Kings people as he shall appoint to keep the Kings peace and the Kings Ministers according to the Statute of Northampton yet Earls and Barons may wear their swords except in the Kings presence and place of Councel Receivers of Petitions for England and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for the Clergy Triers of Petitions Because divers Lords were not come the Parliament was continued from day to day thrice Viz. until Thursday following at which time William de Thorp in presence of the King Prelates Earls Barons and Commons declared that the Parliament was called for two causes the first Concerning the War which the King had undertaken by the consent of the Lords and Commons against his enemies of France The second How the peace of England may be kept Whereupon the King willed the Commons to consult together and that within four dayes they should give answer to the King and his Councel what they think therein The fourth day the Commons declare That they are not able to Councel any thing touching the point of the war wherefore they desire in that behalf to be excused and that the King will thereof advise with his Nobles and Councel and what shall be so amongst them determined they the Commons will assent unto confirm and establish Petitions of the Commons with their Answers That the Laws of Holy Church and of the Land and that the Peace be kept for which purpose they desire That no great person do maintain no Traitors Felons Robbers Trespassers against the peace Barretors Maintainers Confederators Embracers of business Conspirators Champtors and the like by which falsities the Peace is disturbed and the Laws frustrated and that certain Ordinances be made for punishment of such Offendors That to the intent that the Laws may be duly and indifferently ministred the King will be pleased so to encrease the fees of the knight Barons Justices Ministers and Officers and that they may be sworn to take nothing Touching the first point the King will call the great persons to him and will move this Article to them and with their advice will ordain such remedy as shall be pleasing to God and man Touching the second the King will advise what other Ministers shall be fit to take the Oath and will do what shall be needfull That all these Petitions which be for the common profit may be answered in Parliament before the Commons so as they may know the Endorsment and have remedie according to the Ordinance of Parliament That whereas the Scots by Covin with Philip de Val●is in the Kings absence did enter the Realm of England with all their hoast burning and destroying the Land and feloniously committing robberies murders c. And whereas in a Battel at Durham divers of them were slain and some of their Chieftains as David de Brays William Douglas and others were by force there taken and are in the Kings power that he will be pleased so to take order with them by his Councel that he and his people be not in little danger and that they may give surety for their good behaviour The King by advice de ses Grantz will provide so as shall be best Whereas the Staple of Wooll which is holden at Bruges in Flanders hath used to be free so as all Merchants might there freely buy merchandise and carry the same from thence whither they lift by Land or Sea and now the same freedom is restrained so as none can freely buy and carry from thence according to the antient usage with them of Flanders and Brabant And they of Brabant cannot bring their Wools bought in the Staple out of the Town of Bruges without sureties that the Wools shall be uttered in the Country of Brabant or that they bring Letters from the Town of Bruges without sureties in what Town of Brabant those Wools shall be uttered whereby the price of Wooll is much abased Also the three good Towns of Flanders Gant Bruges Ipre will not suffer the small Towns which were wont to buy great quantities of Wools to make Cloth but do destroy their Instruments to the abasement likewise of the price of Wools. Also the paiment of Gold is at so high a price in those parts that a man shall lose in Exchange the third penny and more for which matters it may please the Parliament to provide remedy The King will that the Ordinance of the Staple shall be viewed and that Thomas Melchburn with whom the Patent touching that Ordinance doth remain be called to bring the same with him and that some Merchants of the Country who best understand this matter and the King by advice of his Council will provide remedy Whereas in a Council holden by Lionel the Kings son the Guardian of England it was in the 21 year of the King ordered without the Commons That for keeping the Realm and safe conduct of ships should be taken upon every sack of Wooll passing the seas two shillings upon every Tun of Wine two shillings upon every pound Desavoires brought back into the Realm six pence and this charge to continue until Michaelmas next coming which charge is yet demanded
Prince severally do come yearly and assess Towns severally at Ten Quarters of Oats more or less at their pleasure and the same do cause to be carried away without paying for the same That such Tallages and Purveyance may be taken away The King hath and will forbid it and that no man take contrary to such prohibition saving to him the Queen his Companion and their Children their rightful takings That whereas the four great Rivers of England viz. Thames Tese Ouse and Trent were wont from Antiquity to be open and free for every Ship to pass with Merchandises and now of late daily the said Rivers are stopped and turned aside by Goors Mills Piles and Pales erected by every Lord against his own Land so as Ships cannot pass without danger That Justices may be assigned in every County to enquire of this business and to remove the oppression The King is pleased that such and so many Commissions shall be granted as reasonably shall be needful and that every man shall be heard that will complain for himself and the King That whereas a man is indicted and appealed of Felony and doth render himself at the Exigent although he be afterwards acquitted of the F●lony yet his Chattels are forfeited without enquiry whether he did flie or withdraw himself Forasmuch as a man may be indicted in a forein Country being ignorant of it That therefore no man hereafter lose his Chattels but where it is found by Verdict that he withdrew himself Let the antient Law be kept until the King by advice of his Councel shall otherwise ordain That from henceforth no franchise Royal Land Fee or Advowson which belong or be annexed to the Crown be given or severed from the Crown The King will advise with his Councel that nothing shall be done in such case but to the honour of him and his Realm Whereas the Horses of the King the Queen and the Prince do wander into divers parts doing much hurt and damage to the people by taking of Hay Oats c. contrary to Ordinances already made That the King will ordain that those Horses may abide in some certain place of the County where they are and that purveyance may be made for them in convenient time of the year by the Depu●ies as may be agreed between them and the owners of these goods and that enquiry may be of all the ill behaviour of those takers before this time and that by Commissions the Plaintiff or parties grieved in this kind as well of wrongs heretofore done or hereafter to be done may be heard and determined The King is pleased that the Ordinances already made shall be kept and that purveyances may be made for his best profit and ease of the people Whereas it hath been ordained That all men may passe freely with their Wools and other Merchandise certain Merchants that have of the King the Custome and Subsidie for a certain sum yearly by colour of a bargain or purchase which they have made of the Kings Wools will suffer no man to passe over Wools but only th●ir proper Wools except they pay two Marks for a sack of Wool above the Custom and Subsidy to the great damage of the people and ab●sement of the price of Wools whereof they desire remedy and that the Merchants may answer in this Parliament for such their out-rage done to the people Let the Merchants be called into the Parliament and Answer The poor Merchants shew That whereas Wools were taken at Dordraghe to the Kings use for which by Parliament allowance was made to the Merchants for their debts out of the Subsidy and Custom granted to the King Viz. twenty shillings for every sack carried over Sea And whereas a great part of the rich Merchants are satisfied of the Subsidie and Custom aforesaid and the poor Merchants yet behind of that which to them belongeth by reason that the rich Merchants have sued to the King that they and no other puissent a chatre les dits debts des poures merchants and to take allowance of the King and pay little to the poor Merchants but at their own will so as the rich Merchants are satisfied and the poor undone That therefore the King will pay them part of their debts or make to them assignment of part thereof and they will lose to the King the other part of their said debt or that the King will make to them such allowance as he made to the rich Merchants The King is pleased that the poor Merchants that are not satisfied shall shew to the Treasurer their Obligations and Patents whereof the Treasurer shall inform the King and he by advice will take Order that gree be made unto them assoon as he well may That whereas Edw. 1. lately granted to the people Purlieu through all the Forrest of England and granted to every man that would his Charter containing the bounds of the Forrests according to such Purlieu And afterward Edw. ● confirmed the same by his Charter which hath so continued untill of late the Kings Ministers have and do daily afforrest that which was dis-afforrested and put into regard that which was out of regard contrary to the Purlieus and the Charters of the said King also that the Ministers do summon m●an folk of forrain places to Indict people at their pleasure and make them travell from place to place and threaten them until they make Indictments at their appointment and desire And these Ministers purpose to afforrest Towns neer Forrests where are no wilde Beasts and do often grieve the people by the often coming of Forresters without profit to the King And whereas a Forrest is in divers Counties the Kings Ministers take folk of the one and the other County and by force make men of one County to indict men of another County of matters whereof they are ignorant of which grievances a man can have no Writ nor other remedy in the Chancery whereof they pray remedy The King is pleased That the Charter of the Forrests be kept in all points As touching Purlieus if any man will complain let him shew his grievance and thereupon he shall have a Writ in the Chancery and right shall be done him That Inquiry may be by good men why the King taketh no profit of that which he hath in Ireland Come toutz ses auncestors avoint ad de bien de la come pur maintenance sa guerre Seeing he hath more in Ireland then any of his Ancestors had and if default be found in the Ministers that such other be put in their places which will answer the King of the reasonable profit thereof The King is pleased that it shall be so Whereas many upon an Inquest of Office found for the King are put out of their Lands
Laws of the Realm also he will acquit himself by his Oath with one hundred Knights That he was not guilty of that for which he was banished and if his Oath be not due He will that the Archbishop Bishops and all the Priests of England do excommunicate him And yet if any man will say it against him he will defend himself by his body against all men except the Kings blood that it may please the King to end the same matters Forasmuch as Petition hath been made to the King that where villianage is alledged against the Demandant or Plaintiff the same should be tryed by the County where the partie alledging the exception doth lay the birth of the Defendant or Plaintiff to have been● which Petition is against the law and usage to the great mischief of the Commons as appeareth by the pleading at the Assizes and other pleadings which are to be pleaded and determined in the Counties where the demand is or trespasses done que duissent purtant estre trop delayes a disheritance de la dit come and that which worse is If the Petition should be granted every man would alledge this exception against his adversary and would chuse a County at his pleasure whereby any freeman might by such means be made servile For by such exception alledged by un grant de la terre against a mean person the same should be tryed in a forreign County where his greatne●s is and where the mean man nor his Ancestors never came therefore the King will have regard to these and other mischiefs if the Petition should proceed and to the good laws and customs of the land and them to maintain without regard to the Petition of any single person against the Law of the land Whereas Lionel the Kings son and Elizabeth his wife do hold the County of Hulnester in Ireland in right and heritage of the said Elizabeth and forasmuch as if the said Elizabeth should dye without Issue the said County is to descend unto divers Persons whereof some are enemies to the King which Parceners would enter into the said heritage and would move war against the King as well in Ireland as elsewhere that against this evill and danger the King in this Parliament will provide remedy by the advice of the Prelates Counts and Barons and others of his Councel Iohn Wettenham and Walter de Cheriton Merchants desire that whereas the Commons have complained against them by divers Bills in Parliament● Viz. that they have done divers extortions grievances and prejudices to the King and Commons Forasmuch as they have imployed their pains and diligence to serve the King and have therein suffered many mischiefs that the King will command the said Merchants to come before the Councel to answer whatsoever shall be objected and to declare their estate so as other Merchants hereafter may not doubt to deal with the King in Cheevances nor no other businesses as occasion shall require That none may chase or kill the Kings game when the same do scape out of the Forrests but only the Lords of the Woods and of the Soil where such game are found and that some certain punishments be ordered for them which shall do otherwise Whereas the Commons are charged to advise the King how the Peace of the land may be better kept To which was answered that in every County six persons of whom two to be des pluis grantz and two Knights and two men of Law and so more or lesse as need shall be and they to have power and Commission out of the Chancery to hear and determine the keeping of the Peace Et que counts traylebastoneries ne courgent as heretofore was assented by Parliament for they were the destruction of the people to small or no amendment of the Law or Peace nor punishment of Felons or Trespassers Wherefore because the Commons have so long continued together to their great costs and mischief they desire answer of this Bill lour deliverance Anno Vicesimo secundo Edwardi Tertii Rex c.

Saviours in Normandie while he was Captain there and of the Town of Brotherel in Brittain and of other Towns and Forts The same Lord was accused as a partaker of all the evils of Richard Lyons aforesaid particularly Whereunto the said Lord Latimer saving the tryall of his Peers offered to answer any particular persons but that would not the Commons do but generally as is a●oresaid Whereupon the said Lord answered every Objection and as it should seem very well avoided them in open Parliament notwithstanding there was the judgment of him in form following For that the Lord Latimer is found in full Parliament in default by his singular Councel and government against the profit of the King and Realm and namely for divers Chevisances to the Kings losse for grants procured to the destruction of the Staple and of the Town of Callis and for divers Impositions laid upon Wools he was awarded in full Parliament by the Bishops and Lords to be in prison in the keeping of the Marshall and to make fine and ransom at the Kings pleasure whereupon the Commons required that he might lose all his Offices and no longer be of the Kings Councel which the King granted And the said Lord Latimer in Parliament found certain Lords and others his Mainprisors for the forth coming of his body during the Parliament as by a Schedule doth appear and by this Mainprize the Marshall of England so offered him to be at large In the Schedule are his Mainprisors viz. one Archbishop three Bishops one Prior of S.

But because Love had the day before confessed the contrary before two Knights of the House he was committed to prison To the receiving of wages the same Lord fully cleereth himself notwithstanding judgement of Imprisonment and losse of lands and goods and offices was given of him as on others before and that he should make restitution of the ninety five pounds to the Executors of the said Ladie The King ordaineth that from thenceforth no woman should for maintenance pursue any matter in the Kings Courts and namely Alice Perrers upon losse of all that they have and banishment for ever out of the Realm An Order that the Prior of Ecclefield an alien should exhibit his Bill of Complaint against the Lord Latimer for the Parsonage of Ecclefield which the said Lord had wrongfully caused to be recovered against the said Prior.

this clause Licet 2. any Statute notwithstanding may be confirmed To the first the King granteth to the second he will view the contraries and do thereafter They require that no stranger within the same Liberty do buy or sell any Merchandize of another stranger in pain of forfeiture The King willeth the same between Merchant and Merchant onely saving the Liberties of the Merchants of Aquitain

continued as heretofore hath been It is enacted that the Citizens of London shall by their selves enquire of Customs Impositions and purprestures happening or arising within the City of London It is enacted that the Mayor and Chamberlain of London for the time being shall have the keeping of all the Lands and Goods of such Orphans as happen within the said City Saving to the King and other Lords their right of such as hold of them out of the same Liberty That the interpretation of any word or sentence touching their said Liberties which may severally be taken may be taken according to the intent and claim of the said Citizens Interpretation of Charters belong unto the King wherein if any doubt shall arise the King by advice will make interpretation according to reason That the City of London may enjoy all such Liberties as any other Town in the Realm if they have any other then the said Citizens have Let them declare the especial matter and they shall have answer That no protection Royal be allowed in debt account or Trespass wherein a Free-man of London is ten pounds For victual bought after the voyage or service whereof the protection mentioneth or for debt or contract after the date of such protection purchased the King granteth That no man condemned and laid in Newgate for any debt to any Citizen be removed to answer to the King in the Exchequer unless that the Kings debt be first to be due The King hath appointed the Barons and Officers of the Exchequer so to deal It is to be required that for any answer here given the Kings will is that the Citizens of London be in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13.

ut sequitur Mcmorand quod quaedam Billa exhibita fuit coram Domino Rege in Parliamento praedicto in haec verba WHereas late heretofore that is to say before the Consecration Coronation and Inthronization of our Soveraign Lord King Richard the Third a roll of Parchment containing in writing certain Articles of the tenor under-written on the behalf and in the name of the Three Estates of this Realm of England that is to say of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and of the Commons by name and divers Lords Spiritual and Temporal and of the Commons by name and other Nobles and notable persons of the Commons in great multitude was presented and actually delivered unto our said Soveraign Lord the intent and effect expressed at large in the same roll to the which roll and to the Considerations and instant Petition comprised in the same our said Soveraign Lord for the publique weal and tranquility of this Land benignly assented Now for as much as neither the said three Estates neither the said persons which in their name presented and delivered as it is aforesaid the said roll unto our said Soveraign Lord the King were assembled in form of Parliament by reason whereof divers doubts questions and ambiguities been moved and ingendred in the minds of divers persons as it is said Therefore to the perpetual memory of the truth and declaration of the same be it ordained provided and established in this present Parliament that the tenor of the said roll with all the Contents of the same presented as is abovesaid delivered to our abovesaid Soveraign Lord the King in the name and in the behalf of the said three Estates out of Parliament Now by the said three Estates assembled in this present Parliament and by authority of the same be ratified enrolled recorded approved and authorized to the removing of the recasions of doubts and ambiguities and to all other lawfull effects that shall now thereof ensue so that all things said affirmed specified desired and remembred in the said roll and in the tenour of the same under-written in the name of the said three Estates to the effect expressed in the said roll be of the like effect vertue and force as if all the same things had been so said affirmed specified and remembred in full Parliament and by authority of the same accepted and approved the Tenor of the said roll of Parchment whereof above is made mention followeth and is such To the High and Mighty Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester PLeaseth it your Noble Grace to understand the Considerations Election and Petition under-written of us the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Realm of England and thereunto agreeable to give your assent to the Common and publique weal of this land and to the comfort and gladness of all the People of the same First we consider how that heretofore in time passed this land for many years stood in great prosperity honour and tranquility which was caused for so much as the Kings reigning used and followed the advice and counsel of certain Lords Spiritual and Temporal and other persons of approved sagenesse prudence policy and experience dreading God and having tender zeal and affection to indifferent administration of Justice and to the Common and publique weal of the land Then our Lord God was dread loved and honoured Then within the land was peace and tranquility and among the Neighbours Concord and Charity Then the malice of outward Enemies was mightily resisted and repressed and the Land honourably defended with many great and glorious victories Then the intercourse of Merchants was largely used and exercised by which things above remembred the land was greatly inriched so that as well the Merchants as the Artificers and other poor people labouring for their living in divers Occupations had competent gain to the satisfaction of them and their housholds living without miserable and intollerable poverty But afterwards when as such had the rule and governance of this land delighting in adulation and flattery and led by sensuality and concupiscence followed the counsel of persons insolent vicious and of inordinate avarice despising the Counsel of persons good vertuous and prudent such as above be remembred the prosperity of this land decreased daily so that our felicity was turned into misery and our prosperity into adversity and the order of policy and the Laws of God and man confounded whereby it is likely this Realm to fall into great misery and desolation which God defend without due provision of convenable remedy be had in this behalf in all godly haste Over this among other things more special we consider how that the time of the reign of Edw. the 4. late deceased after the ungracious pretended mariage as all England hath cause to say made betwixt the said King Edw. and Elizabeth sometimes Wife to Sir Iohn Gray Knight late naming her self and many years heretofore Queen of England the order of politique rule was perverted the Laws of God and of Gods Church c. also the Laws of Nature and of England and also the laudable customs and liberties of the same wherein every Englishman is inheritor is broken subverted and contemned against all Reason and Justice so that the Land was ruled by self-will and pleasure fear and dread all manner of Equity and Law laid apart and despised whereof ensued many inconveniencies and mischiefs as Murders Extortions and Oppressions namely of poor and impotent people so that no man was sure of his life land or livelyhood ne of his wife daughter or servant every good Maiden and Woman standing in fear to be ravished and deflowred And besides this what discords inward battels effusion of Christian mens blouds and namely by the destruction of the Nobles bloud of this land was had and committed within the same it is evident and notorious through all this Realm unto the great sorrow and heavinesse of all true English-men And here also we consider how that the said pretended Mariage betwixt the above-named King Edward and Elizabeth Gray was made of great presumption without the knowing and assent of the Lords of this land and also by Sorcery and Witchcraft committed by the said Elizabeth and her Mother Iaquet Dutchesse of Bedford as the common opinion of the people and the publique voice and fame is throughout all this land and hereafter if the cause shall require shall be proved sufficiently in time and place convenient And here also we consider how that the said pretended Mariage was made privily and secretly without
edition of banes in a private Chamber a prophane place and not openly in the face of the Church after the Law of Gods Church but contrary thereunto and the laudable custom of the Church of England and how also at the time of the contract of the same pretended Mariage and before and long time after the said King Edward was and stood maried and troth-plight to one Dame Elinor Butler daughter to the Earl of Shrewsbury with whom the said King Edward had made a Pre-contract of Matrimony long time before he made the said pretended Mariage with the said Elizabeth Gray in manner and form aforesaid Which premisses being true as in very truth they be true it appeareth and followeth evidently that the said King Edward during his life and the said Elizabeth lived together sinfully and damnably in adultery against the Law of God and of his Church and therefore no marvel that the Soveraign Lord and head of the land being of such ungodly disposition and provoking the ire and indignation of our Lord God such heynous mischief and Inconveniences as are above remembred were used and committed in the Realm amongst the Subjects Also it appeareth evidently and followeth that all the issue and children of the said King Edward be Bastards and unable to inherit or claim any thing by inheritance by the Law and custom of England Moreover we consider how that afterwards by the three Estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament holden at Westminster Anno 17. of the reign of the said King Edward the fourth he then being in possession of the Crown and royal Estate by Act made in the same Parliament George Duke of Clarence brother to the King Edward now deceased was convicted and attainted of High Treason as in the said Act is contained more at large because and by reason whereof all the issue of the said George was and is disabled and barred of all right and claim that in any case they might have or challenge by inheritance to the Crown and Dignity royal of this Realm by the antient Laws and Customs of this same Realm Over this we consider that you be the undoubted heir of Richard Duke of York very inheritor of the said Crown and dignity royal and as in right King of England by way of Inheritance And that at this time the premises duely considered there is none other person living but you onely that may claim the said Crowne and Dignity royal by way of Inheritance and how that you be born within this Land by reason whereof as we deem in our minds you be more naturally inclined to the prosperity and common-weal of the same And all the three Estates of the Land have and may have more certain knowledge of your birth and filiation aforesaid We consider also th● great Wit Prudence Justice Princely courage and the memorable and laudable acts in divers battels which as we by experience know you heretofore have done for the defence and salvation of this Realm● and also the great noblenesse and excellency of your birth and bloud as of him that is descended of the three most royal houses of Christendome that is to say England France and Spain Wherefore these premises duly by us considered we desiring effectually the peace tranquillity and weal publique of this Land and the reduction of the same to the antient honourable estate and prosperity And having in your great prudent Justice Princely courage and excellent vertue singular confidence have chosen in all that in us is and by that our Writing choose you high and mighty Prince our King and Soveraign Lord c. to whom we know of certain it appertaineth of Inheritance so to be chosen And hereupon we humbly desire pray and require your most Noble grace that according to this election of us the● Three Estates of your Land as by inheritance you will accept and take upon you the said Crown and royal dignity with all things thereunto annexed and appertaining as to you of right belonging as well by inheritance as by lawfull election and in case you so do we promise to assist and serve your Highnesse as true and faithfull Subjects and Liege-men and to live and dye with you in this matter and in every other just quarrel for certainly we be determined rather to adventure and commit us to the peril of our lives and jeopardy of death than to live in such thraldom and bondage as we have done long time heretofore oppressed and injured by Extortions and new Impositions against the Law of God and Man and the liberties and old policy and Laws of this Land wherein every Englishman is inherited Our Lord God King of all Kings by whose infinite goodnesse and eternal providence all things been principally governed in this world lighten your Soul and grant you grace to do as well in this matter as in all other that which may be according to his will and pleasure and to the common and publique weal of this Land So that after great clouds troubles storms and tempests the Sun of Justice and of Grace may shine upon us to the joy and comfort of all true-hearted English men Albeit that
