the_o manifest_a disestimation_n and_o abase_v of_o your_o majesty_n honour_n and_o dignity_n these_o proceed_n most_o sovereign_a king_n be_v become_v so_o apparent_a and_o evident_a unto_o all_o the_o world_n that_o all_o strange_a nation_n and_o potentate_n have_v a_o terror_n and_o execration_n thereat_o insomuch_o as_o even_o the_o duke_n of_o alba_n his_o soldier_n and_o servant_n do_v protest_v and_o say_v that_o they_o can_v not_o esteem_v such_o for_o good_a much_o less_o that_o the_o service_n of_o your_o majesty_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o country_n shall_v therein_o consist_v beside_o that_o we_o can_v not_o think_v that_o your_o majesty_n be_v thereof_o sufficient_o and_o true_o inform_v will_v permit_v such_o force_n and_o violence_n for_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o any_o king_n or_o potentate_n have_v so_o unmerciful_o deal_v with_o his_o subject_n your_o majesty_n ancestor_n of_o most_o famous_a memory_n have_v in_o most_o mild_a and_o gentle_a manner_n behave_v themselves_o towards_o their_o subject_n that_o they_o have_v thereof_o give_v a_o most_o laudable_a example_n not_o only_o to_o their_o successor_n but_o also_o to_o other_o christian_a prince_n duke_n and_o ruler_n that_o when_o so_o ever_o any_o dissension_n be_v rise_v between_o the_o subject_n and_o magistrate_n by_o reason_n of_o misgovernment_n and_o take_v arm_n in_o hand_n and_o be_v again_o bring_v under_o obedience_n by_o their_o lord_n and_o ruler_n be_v never_o molest_v with_o these_o example_n of_o cruelty_n but_o by_o express_a capitulation_n from_o word_n to_o word_n confirm_v all_o their_o privilege_n and_o liberty_n and_o the_o same_o to_o enjoy_v their_o full_a effect_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v great_o wrong_v your_o majesty_n if_o we_o shall_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o your_o majesty_n be_v so_o far_o divert_v from_o the_o example_n of_o your_o predecessor_n and_o from_o the_o duty_n of_o all_o other_o christian_a prince_n and_o potentate_n that_o in_o stead_n of_o minister_a right_a and_o ius_n ice_n to_o your_o obedient_a subject_n and_o give_v audience_n to_o their_o most_o pitiful_a complaint_n shall_v send_v such_o a_o tyrant_n in_o such_o sort_n cruelty_n to_o murder_v they_o destroy_v the_o country_n and_o burden_v your_o subject_n with_o most_o intolerable_a slavery_n servitude_n &_o thraldom_n and_o now_o the_o say_a duke_n present_v unto_o we_o his_o feign_a pardon_n under_o the_o name_n of_o your_o majesty_n for_o our_o rebellion_n and_o misdemeanour_n as_o he_o term_v they_o we_o can_v not_o accept_v the_o same_o without_o deprive_v of_o your_o majesty_n dignity_n know_v well_o that_o your_o majesty_n will_v not_o before_o have_v hear_v the_o justness_n of_o our_o cause_n condemn_v we_o of_o rebellion_n where_o be_v there_o any_o that_o just_o have_v inform_v your_o majesty_n of_o our_o deal_n or_o when_o do_v ever_o your_o majesty_n give_v ear_n unto_o any_o but_o such_o as_o be_v our_o manifest_a enemy_n reason_n require_v both_o part_n to_o be_v hear_v before_o sentence_n shall_v be_v pronounce_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o chronicle_n of_o alexander_n the_o great_a be_v much_o commend_v

latter_a party_n ought_v as_o well_o have_v audience_n as_o the_o first_o which_o order_n have_v always_o be_v have_v in_o estimation_n of_o all_o nation_n as_o be_v conformable_a to_o all_o natural_a right_n so_o as_o no_o offendor_n what_o grievous_a crime_n soever_o he_o have_v commit_v shall_v be_v judge_v or_o condemn_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v first_o answer_v unto_o such_o accusation_n as_o be_v allege_v against_o he_o now_o most_o merciful_a and_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o king_n we_o do_v most_o humble_o prostrate_v ourselves_o under_o the_o foot_n of_o your_o majesty_n most_o hearty_o request_v the_o same_o that_o it_o will_v please_v your_o grace_n to_o bend_v towards_o we_o one_o ear_n &_o as_o in_o a_o balance_n equal_o to_o weigh_v our_o estate_n your_o majesty_n have_v by_o post_n letter_n &_o other_o mean_n be_v inform_v of_o this_o present_a estate_n &_o our_o mouth_n have_v be_v close_v up_o our_o tongue_n pierce_v with_o red_a burn_a iron_n and_o our_o lip_n sear_v up_o with_o burn_a tong_n because_o we_o shall_v not_o give_v our_o necessity_n to_o understand_v the_o way_n have_v as_o yet_o be_v take_v from_o we_o so_o that_o our_o lamentable_a cry_n can_v never_o come_v unto_o or_o pierce_v the_o ear_n of_o your_o majesty_n how_o then_o can_v your_o majesty_n condemn_v we_o of_o rebellion_n which_o always_o we_o have_v have_v in_o hatred_n because_o that_o the_o duke_n of_o alba_n do_v seek_v to_o bring_v we_o under_o his_o subjection_n with_o his_o letter_n of_o pardon_n &_o we_o nothing_o esteem_v of_o the_o same_o which_o he_o perceive_v and_o that_o with_o force_n he_o can_v not_o by_o god_n his_o providence_n prevail_v we_o can_v therefore_o accept_v his_o say_a letter_n as_o be_v direct_a to_o we_o who_o never_o stray_v from_o your_o obedience_n except_o it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v take_v &_o acknowledge_v the_o duke_n of_o alba_n for_o our_o king_n for_o he_o only_o have_v we_o resist_v and_o not_o your_o majesty_n who_o we_o with_o life_n and_o good_n so_o long_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o permit_v we_o the_o same_o will_v faithful_o serve_v and_o obey_v and_o therefore_o his_o pardon_n do_v nothing_o touch_v we_o which_o tend_v only_o to_o the_o town_n which_o have_v be_v seduce_v from_o the_o king_n obedience_n but_o we_o mark_v his_o intent_n know_v that_o either_o he_o will_v be_v king_n himself_o or_o else_o that_o we_o by_o enticement_n of_o his_o subtle_a pardon_n shall_v condemn_v ourselves_o for_o we_o receive_v pardon_n must_v acknowledge_v ourselves_o guilty_a of_o commotion_n &_o rebellion_n against_o our_o king_n of_o tumult_n and_o sedition_n yea_o of_o heresy_n and_o decline_v from_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o in_o fine_a to_o the_o deprive_v of_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n majesty_n this_o be_v his_o seek_n that_o by_o receive_v of_o his_o false_a and_o feign_a pardon_n we_o shall_v by_o our_o subsignation_n &_o seal_n confirm_v the_o same_o to_o the_o

we_o have_v not_o find_v ourselves_o culpable_a in_o these_o grievous_a offence_n for_o which_o we_o be_v punish_v and_o torment_v we_o will_v never_o have_v receive_v any_o remiss_a or_o pardon_n wherein_o we_o take_v god_n the_o searcher_n and_o knower_n of_o all_o heart_n and_o your_o majesty_n to_o witness_v that_o if_o we_o have_v commit_v any_o such_o offence_n as_o by_o the_o say_a pardon_n be_v lay_v to_o our_o charge_n that_o we_o do_v altogether_o refuse_v all_o pardon_n but_o desire_v as_o the_o most_o wicked_a and_o vile_a creature_n on_o earth_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o offence_n with_o our_o blood_n and_o do_v not_o refuse_v oh_o most_o merciful_a king_n one_o after_o another_o to_o suffer_v most_o extreme_a torment_n if_o it_o may_v be_v find_v that_o
