[In all Humility we crave]
The Commons Petition to the King,
by the E. of Rochester.
In all Humility we craveOur Sovereign may be our Slave,
And humbly beg that he may be
Betray'd to us most loyally;
And if he pleases to lay down
His Scepter, Dignity, and Crown,
We'l make him for the time to come
The greatest Prince in Christendom.
King's Answer.
Charles at this time having no need,Thanks you as much as if he did.
