wrongfull vsurpation of the townes and Prouinces by them possessed We vpon these causes hauing referred all these matters to the consideration mature deliberation of the Counsel haue resolued to deny them the prorogation of the said Truce for the monethes of Ianuary February and March which they craued with such instance as we had cause iustly to beleeue that such pursuite neuer tended to grow to

crowne in that the ioy and applause of the people vppon the sight of their so long desired King were no whit lesse then if they had euen then enioyed the like surety as by these presents is vnto them graunted of our grace fauor and protection with forgetfullnesse of all thinges past and assurance that we will neuer put in obliuion the desertes of such as in our seruice haue made shew of their vertue and stedfastnesse The consideration hereof together with the especiall goodnesse wherewith vpon this occasion it hath pleased God to fauour vs hath and still doeth bind vs more then any other mortall creature to imagine and continually to deuise how we may make our actions and behauiours agreeable before the holy maiestie of his deuine prouidence who as hee surpasseth in goodnesse and clemency whatsoeuer the spirite of man is able to comprehend so hath he voutchfafed to leaue vnto vs as an instruction and testimony the example and woord of his sonne Iesus Christ to testifie vnto vs that whosoeuer will be accompted his children must forget others transgressions Vpon this occasion acknowledging that nothing is vnto vs a greater witnesse that wee are made to the likenesse of God
