HVMBLE PETITIONS OF GOOD SVBIECTS TO THEIR GOOD KING against the Parliament.
Confirme
Religion as the Arke of God:
Preserue the places where the same shall rest:
Then lawes for life, and maners as the Rod,
Wherewith offence of Sinne must be supprest,
So shall the land assuredly be blest.
But firie Spirits are not for that charge,
Nor such as seeke their profits to enlarge.

Next, for the Common-wealth (as is begun)
Take off oppressions from the Subiects backe,
And to the Commons do not alwayes runne
For euery thing that Common-wealth doth lacke,
For so poore Subiects still shall go to wracke,
And yet must Subiects Cæsars duties pay:
No faithfull Subiect will thereof say nay.

As for the Lawyers faults and griefes thereby,
The peoples plaints suffice to make them knowne,
And how huge monstrous fees on Suters lye,
Which Officers and Clarkes claime as their owne:
But if you aske quo iure they are growne,
The man (say they) must sell who first did buy:
A case to be redrest as cause shall lie.

In briefe, the sores and sicknesses that are
In Englands state, which grieued men will shew
In Parliament, will moue the Princes care
To finde the fountaines whence the same doe flow,
And fountaines found, to purge them all arow.
The God of heauen preserue our blessed King,
That he to Church and Realme true peace may bring.

Astra Deo nil maius habent, Nil Cæsare Terra:
Sic Cæsar Terras, vt Deus Astra regat.
Sic Cæsar Terras, vt Deus Astra regat.
