so made knyghtes lordes The rest were lawiers prestes sauyng the two byshoppes of Canturbury and Wynchesire If these then be the great nōber 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 coūsayle 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 coūsayl 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 ¶ 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 ¶ 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 cōmission 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 gyuē 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 IMPRESSORIS CVM PRIVILEGIO
