ANSVVERE MADE BY THE KYNGES HYGHNES TO the Petitions of the rebelles in Yorkeshire â§ ANNO. M.D.XXXVI FYRSTE AS TOVCHYNGE the mayntenance of the faythe the termes be so generall that it wolde be very harde to make certaine answere to the same but if they mean the faithe of Christe to the whiche all christen menne be only bounde We declare and proteste our selfe to be that prince that dothe entende and hath always mynded to lyue and dye in the mayntenaunce defence and obseruation of the puritie of the same And that no man can or dare set his fote by vs in prouynge of the contrary We meruayle therfore moche that ignoraunt people woll go about to take vpon them to instructe and teche vs which haue ben noted somthynge lerned What the feyth shuld be and also that they being ignorant people be so presumptuous seinge that we and our hole clergy in conuocation haue in articles declared it to take vpon them to correcte vs all therin or that they wold be so ingrate and vnnaturall towardes vs theyr moste rightfull kyng and soueraigne lorde without any our deserte vpon fals reportes or surmyses to suspect vs of the same and gyue rather credence to forged lyght tales than to the very trouthe by vs these .xxviii. yeres vsed and by our dedes approued Â¶ TO THE second which towcheth the mayntenance of the church the lyberties of the same we saye It is so generall a proposicion that without distinctions no man can well aunswere it For fyrste the churche which they meane must be knowen Seconde whyther those thinges whych they calle lyberties and saye they wolde maynteyne be thinges lawfull and beneficiall to the prynce and common welthe or otherwyse And these knowen we doubt not but they shal be answered according to goddis lawes equitie and Iustyce Neuertheles for al their generalite this we dare affirme that meanynge what churche they lyst we haue doone nothynge that maye not be abyden by bothe by goddis lawes and mans lawes or that is preiudiciall to the common welthe if our procedynges may be indifferently wayed and consydered And in our owne churche of Englande whereof we be the supreme heed in erthe we haue done nothynge so onerous and chargeable to theym as many of our predecessours haue doone vppon moche lesse grouÌ„des For dyd not kynge Edwarde the thyrde of most noble memory our progenitour suppresse all the monasteries of one hole religion that were within this realme and conuerted theym holly to his owne vse sauynge a certayne of the same that he gaue to his noble men and gentyll men as we haue at this tyme lyke wyse done Dyd not kyng Henry the .v. suppresse aboue one hundreth monasteryes takynge the greate benefite of the same to his owne propre vse and behoufe And what acte dyd he agayne within this realme that coulde be noted to the prouffite of the common weale of the same onles it were the erection of Syon and the house of the Charterhouse at Shene Dydde not kynge Henry the .vi. semblably suppresse a good nombre of monasteries for the makynge of a college in Cambridge and yet neuertheles but a very fewe of them were coÌ„uerted to the vse therof Dyd not our Grandame in lyke maner for the edifieng of two colleges in our vniuersitie of Cambridge procure the suppression of a great many houses of religion Dyd not byshop Alcock beinge noted a good man procure the suppression of certayn monasteries for the building of an other college within the same vninersitie Dyd not the cardinall of yorke lately for the erectioÌ„ of a college in Oxforde coÌ„passe the suppÌ„ssion of thirty monasteries Howe many byshops besydes as of Canturbury Wynchester Rochester Lyncolne others haue procured the putting downe of abbeys for the buylding and endowementes of dyuers Colleges whiche sundry of them haue made within dyuers vnyuersities and also for sundrie other purposes and fuÌ„dations Wherfore sythens this article perteynith nothyng to any of our coÌ„mons nor that they beare any thynge therin we can not but recken a greate vnkyndenes and vnnaturalnes in theym whiche had leauer a chorle or twayne shulde enioye those profites of their monasteryes for the supportation and mayntenaunce of abhomynable lyfe thanne that we their prince shuld receyue the same to wardes our extreme charges done and daily susteyned for their defence agaynst forayn ennemies Â¶ The thirde article toucheth thre thynges The fyrst is the lawes The second is the coÌ„mon welth The thirde the directours of the lawes vnder vs. Touchynge the lawes as it becometh not blynde men to iudge any colours ne to take vpon theym to be iudges in the same so we dare expressely and boldly affirme as a thynge that may be easily and duely proued that there was neuer in any one of our predecessours dayes so many holsom commodious and beneficiall actes made for the common welth as haue ben made in our tyme and sythens some of them hadde credite and doynge in our affayres that wolde nowe perchaunce fayne pycke them thanke without deserte for our lord forbede that bothe we and our counsayle shulde haue loste so moche tyme as not to knowe better nowe than we dyd in the begynnyng of our reigne what were a common welth and what were against the good and commoditie of the same seinge we haue ben a kynge these .xxviii. yeres and by experience lerned the perfytenes therof and all thoughe the folye and vnkyndnes of some wol not percase so knowlege it yet we truste and doubte not but the most parte of our louyng subiectes specially those whiche be not seduced by fals reportes do both thinke it accepte it and fynde it soo Â¶ Nowe touchyng the coÌ„mon welthe what kyng hath kepte his subiectis so longe in welth peace so longe without takynge or doing wronge one to an other so indyfferently minystred Iustice to all estates bothe hygh and lowe so defeÌ„ded them from al outwarde ennemies so fortified the fronters of his realme to his no lytell and in maner inestimable charges and all for their welthes and sureties What kynge hathe gyuen amonge his subiectes mo generall or free pardons What kynge hath ben lother to punysh his subiectis or shewed more mercy amonges them These thynges beinge soo true as no true man can denye them It is an vnnaturall an vnkynd demeanour of you our subiectis to beleue or deny the contrary of it by whose reporte so euer it shuld be set forth ageynst vs. Â¶ And touchynge the begynnyng of our reygne where it is sayde that so many noble menne were counsaylours we do not forget who were thenne of our couÌ„sayle For of the temporaltie there were but two worthy to be called noble the one the treasorer of Englande the other the hyghe Steward of our housholde others as the lord Marney and Darcy but meane borne gentylmen ne yet of any great landes tyl they were promoted by the kinge our father of most noble memorie by vs and

so made knyghtes lordes The rest were lawiers prestes sauyng the two byshoppes of Canturbury and Wynchesire If these then be the great noÌ„ber of noble men that is spoken of that our subiectes semed at that tyme to be contented withall why then be they not nowe moche better contented with vs whiche haue so many nobles in dede bothe of byrthe and condition of our counsayle For fyrste of the temporaltie in our priuye counsayle we haue the Duke of Norfolke the Duke of Suffolke the Marques of Excester the lorde Stewarde whenne he is presente the Erle of Oxforde The Erle of Sussex the lorde Sandes our Chamberlayne the lorde Admyral treasorer of our house syr wyllyam Poulet Comptroller of our house syr Wyllyam Kyngston our vicechamberlayne And of the spiritualtie the byshoppes of Canturbury Wynchester Hereford and Chichester And for bycause it is more then necessary to haue some of our pryuy counsaylle lerned in our lawes and acqueynted with the polycies practises of the worlde we by thaduise of our hole couÌ„sayle before named did electe and chose into our priuye counsayle and also into theyr roumes sire Thomas Audeley knyght our Chancellour and the lorde Crumwel keper of our priuy seale thinkynge them men in all our opinions mooste mete for the same roumes And we with our hole counsayle thynke it ryghte straunge that you whiche be but ignorant and vnexpert folkes shulde take vppon you to appoynte and limitte to vs who be mete to be of our couÌ„sayl and who be not Marke therfore nowe howe these sedicious persons whiche so wrongfully haue borne you thus in hande haue falsely abused you that reaken there were then moo noble men of our priuie counsaile then be nowe But yet thoughe of our great clemency princely goodnes we declare now the truthe to pul you our subiectes from that errour and blindnes you be trayned and brought into by false and vntrue surmyses and reportes we wold agayne that euery of you knowe that it apperteyneth not to any subiecte to presume to take vppon hym to appoynte his kynge and soueraigne lordis counsaile ne for our part we wol take any such thing at any of our subiectes handes Wherfore we wolde that from hensforth they shulde better remembre the duities of good subiectis towardes their natural liege lorde and medel not with these and suche lyke thynges as they haue nothinge to do withal Â¶ To the .iiii. article where the comons do name certayne of our counsaile to be subuerters both of goddis lawe and the lawes of the realme we doo take and repute them as iust and true executours bothe of goddis lawes and of ours as farre as theyr commissions vnder vs do extende And if any of our subiectes can duely proue the contrary we shall procede ageynst them and all other offendours therin accordynge to Iustice as to our estate and dignitie royall doth apperteyne And in case it be but a false and an vntrue reporte as we veryly thynk it is then it were as mete and standeth as wel with iustice that they shulde haue the selfe same punyshement whiche wrongfully haue obiected this to them that they shuld haue had if they hadde deserued it And one thyng amonges others causeth vs to thynke that this sklaunder shulde be vntrue bycause it procedeth from that place whiche is bothe farre distante from that where they inhabyte and also from those people which neuer harde them preache nor yet knoweth any parte of theyr conuersation Wherfore we exhorte you al our comons of those parties to be no more so light of credyte in the beleuynge of euyll thynges spoken of vs your naturall prynce and soueraigne lorde nor of any of our counsailours or prelates but to thynke that your kynge hauynge soo longe reigned ouer you hath as good discretion to elect and chose his counsaylours by thaduyse of his counsayle before named as those what soeuer they be that haue put this into your heades and moche better thenne you being but ignorant people and out of al experience of princis affayres can haue And as vnto the last article and also vnto the mater of the hole dyscours of your peticions we veryly thynke that the rest of all our hole commons of many countreys to whom you be in maner but an handful wyl gretly disdayne and not beare it that you take vpon you to set order to vs and them and specially to vs beinge soueraygne lord to you bothe and that you beinge rebelles wold make them as bearers and parttakers of your mischiefe wyllynge them to take pardon for insurrections whyche veryly we thynke and doubt not they neuer mynded but lyke true subiectes to the contrary haue both with harte and dede bene redy at our calle to defende bothe vs and them selfes Â¶ And nowe for our parte as to your demandes we late you wyte that pardon of suche thynges as you demaunde lyethe onely in the wylle and pleasure of vs your soueraygne lorde and prince But it semeth by your lewde proclamations and saufe conductis that there be amonges you whiche take vppon them bothe the partes of kynges and of counsaylours whiche neither by vs nor by the generall consent of our realme haue ben admitted to any such rome What arrogancy is then in those wretches being also of none experience that wol presume to reise you our subiectis without coÌ„mission or auctoritie ye agaynst vs vnder a cloked color of your welth and in our name as the succession and ende wol declare if we shuld not be more mercyful vnto you than you haue deserued to your owne vtter confusions Wherfore we late all you our sayde subiectes again witte that were it not that our pryncely harte can not reken this your shameful insurrection and most ingrate and vnnaturall rebellion to haue ben done of malyce or rancour but rather by a lightnes of credite gyueÌ„ in maner by a naughty nature to a comminaltie and a wonderous sodayn surrection of gentylmen we must nedes haue executed an other maner of punyshement than if you wyll humbly knowledge your fawte and submytte your selfes to our mercy we entende to do as by our proclamations we doubt not but you be informed And now therfore note our benignitie nowe considre howe moche we desire the preseruation of you our subiectis and thaduoydynge of theffusion of christen blode and nowe consider what hurte you haue in this lyttell tyme done vnto your selfes and lerne by this gentyl refourmation to auoyde a greatter yuell to loue honour and dreade your prynce and soueraine lorde that thus tendreth you and from hensforthe to lyue lyke true subiectes to vs and to beleue no moo suche fals and lyght tales LONDINI IN AEDIBVS THOMAE BERTHELETI RECII
