it your Noble Grace to understand the considerations election and Petition underwritten of us the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Realm of England and thereunto agreeable to give your assent to the Common and publique weal of this land and to the comfort and gladnesse of all the people of the same First we consider how that heretofore in time passed this land for many years stood in great prosperity honour and tranquillity which was caused for so much as the Kings reigning used and followed the advice and counsel of certain Lords Spiritual and Temporal and other persons of approved sagenesse prudence policy and experience dreading God and having tender zeal and affection to indifferent administration of Justice and to the Common and publique weal of the land Then our Lord God was dread loved and honoured Then within the land was peace and tranquillity and among the neighbours Concord and Charity Then the malice of outward enemies was mightily resisted and repressed and the land honourably defended with many great and glorious victories Then the intercourse of Merchants was largely used and exercised by which things above remembred the land was greatly inriched so that as well the Merchants as the Artificers and other poor people labouring for their living in divers Occupations had competent gain to the satisfaction of them and their housholds living without miserable and intollerable poverty But afterwards when as such had the rule and governance of this land delighting in adulation and flattery and led by sensuality and concupiscence followed the counsel of persons insolent vicious and of inordinate avarice despising the Counsel of persons good vertuous and prudent such as above be remembred the prosperity of this land decreased daily so that our felicity was turned into misery and our prosperity into adversity and the order of policy and the Lawes of God and man confounded whereby it is likely this Realm to fall into great misery and desolation which God defend without due provision of convenable remedie be had in this behalf in all godly haste Over this among other things more special we consider how that the time of the reign of Edw 4th late deceased after the ungracious pretended mariage as all England hath cause to say made betwixt the said King Edward and Elizabeth sometimes Wife to Sir Iohn Gray Knight late naming her self and many years heretofore Queen of England the order of politique rule was perverted the Laws of God and of Gods Church c. also the Laws of Nature and of England and also the laudable customs and liberties of the same wherein every Englishman is inheritor is broken subverted and contemned against all Reason and Justice so
