countrey, and our posterity, and doth tend to no other end, but to the
preservation of the true reformed Religion, the confession of Faith,
Lawes, and Liberties of this His Majesties most ancient Kingdome,
and of His Majesties authority in defence thereof, and satisfaction
of our humble desires, contained in our supplications, complaints and
articles, unto the which we adhere againe and again, as we would eschew
the curse of the Almighty God, following the breach of his Covenant:

accustomed goodnesse and justice, that his sacred Majestie after a true
information of the justice of our cause and carriage, will presently
indict these ordinary remedies of a free Assembly and Parliament,
to our just supplications, complaints, and articles, which may be

towards most loyall and dutifull subjects, calling for redresse of so
pressing grievances, and praying heartily that His Majestie may long
and prosperously reigne over us.
