❧_o by_o the_o king_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n notorious_a that_o many_o of_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o our_o people_n in_o diverse_a part_n of_o our_o kingdom_n either_o by_o secret_a combination_n wrought_v by_o some_o wicked_a instrument_n or_o by_o ill_a example_n of_o the_o first_o beginner_n have_v presume_v late_o to_o assemble_v themselves_o riotous_o in_o multitude_n and_o be_v arm_v with_o sundry_a weapon_n have_v lay_v open_a in_o forcible_a manner_n a_o great_a quantity_n of_o several_a man_n possession_n some_o new_o enclose_v and_o other_o of_o long_a continuance_n make_v their_o pretence_n that_o some_o town_n have_v be_v depopulate_v and_o diverse_a family_n undo_v by_o mean_n of_o such_o enclosure_n in_o which_o seditious_a course_n they_o have_v persist_v not_o only_o after_o many_o prohibition_n by_o our_o minister_n in_o the_o several_a county_n but_o after_o particular_a proclamation_n publish_v by_o our_o royal_a authority_n &_o which_o be_v more_o when_o so_o many_o mean_n of_o lenity_n and_o gentleness_n be_v offer_v to_o reclaim_v they_o as_o no_o prince_n will_v have_v use_v but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v both_o confident_a in_o the_o loyal_a affection_n of_o his_o subject_n in_o general_a and_o compassionate_a towards_o the_o simplicity_n of_o such_o offender_n many_o of_o they_o stand_v out_o most_o obstinate_o and_o in_o open_a field_n rebellious_o resist_v such_o force_n as_o in_o our_o name_n and_o by_o our_o authority_n come_v to_o repress_v they_o whereupon_o ensue_v by_o necessity_n in_o the_o end_n that_o some_o blood_n be_v draw_v as_o well_o by_o martial_a execution_n as_o by_o civil_a justice_n upon_o this_o accident_n it_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o to_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n and_o special_o to_o our_o love_a subject_n as_o well_o that_o which_o concern_v our_o affection_n which_o upon_o several_a respect_n be_v divide_v between_o comfort_n and_o grief_n as_o that_o which_o concern_v also_o

colour_n of_o such_o complaint_n the_o matter_n whereof_o be_v such_o as_o we_o take_v ourselves_o more_o interest_v therein_o then_o any_o our_o subject_n can_v be_v for_o as_o we_o can_v but_o know_v that_o the_o glory_n and_o strength_n of_o all_o king_n consist_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o subject_n so_o may_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a and_o peculiar_a pre-eminence_n of_o those_o country_n over_o which_o god_n have_v place_v we_o that_o they_o do_v excel_v in_o breed_v and_o nourish_v of_o able_a and_o serviceable_a people_n both_o for_o war_n and_o peace_n which_o we_o do_v just_o esteem_v above_o all_o treasure_n and_o commodity_n which_o our_o say_a dominion_n do_v otherwise_o so_o plentiful_o yield_v unto_o vs._n neither_o in_o this_o

occasion_n to_o decay_v or_o diminish_v our_o people_n if_o we_o do_v consider_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o use_n and_o application_n which_o we_o may_v make_v as_o other_o prince_n do_v both_o of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o people_n to_o carry_v arm_n for_o defence_n of_o our_o crown_n and_o of_o their_o good_n and_o substance_n to_o supply_v our_o want_n upon_o all_o just_a &_o reasonable_a

we_o may_v add_v as_o whole_o cleanse_v and_o wash_v our_o hand_n from_o the_o toleration_n of_o these_o grievance_n the_o continual_a and_o strict_a charge_n and_o commandment_n give_v by_o we_o to_o

although_o in_o this_o point_n there_o be_v some_o defence_n allege_v by_o our_o subordinate_a minister_n and_o special_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o assize_n that_o our_o people_n have_v be_v want_v to_o themselves_o in_o the_o due_a and_o ordinary_a mean_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o take_v by_o presentment_n of_o such_o as_o be_v or_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o these_o oppression_n but_o as_o we_o take_v comfort_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o complaint_n have_v not_o proceed_v from_o our_o government_n have_v contrariwise_o before_o these_o seditious_a course_n first_o break_v forth_o

to_o cure_v whatsoever_o be_v amiss_o by_o just_a and_o orderly_a remedy_n so_o be_v we_o grieve_v to_o behold_v what_o the_o disloyalty_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o this_o rebellious_a people_n have_v
