SIR

WE

faithfull
,
and
most

subiects
,
who
in
your

,
and

the
Reformed
Religion
,
doe
in
all
humilitie
remonstrate
to
your

,
that
as
we
neuer
affected
any
thing
more
then
to
be
preserued
in
the
honour
of
your
favour
,
(
which
we
haue
promised
our selues
in
regard
of
our
constant
loyaltie
,
alwayes
witnessed
by
vs
and
ours
,
towards
the
good
of
your
seruice
,
and
the
greatnesse
and
strength
of
your
kingdoms
)
so
also
could
neuer
any
thing
proue
more
to
our
discontentment
,
then
to
see
our selues
thereof
depriued
.
In
which
regard
hauing
recourse
to
your
goodnesse
and
royall
clemencie
,
we
beseech
your
Maiestie
,
that
,
with
returne
of
peace
to
your
estate
,
you
will
be
pleased
to
restore
vs
to
your

,
and
repossesse
vs
of
the
benefit
of
the
Edicts
,
declarations
,
graces
and
grants
affoorded
vs
both
by
your
Maiestie
and
the

King
Henrie
the
Great
,
of

memorie
;
for
which
we
protest
and
vow
neuer
to
depart
from
our
most
entire
subiection
,
faith
and
obedience
.
And
if
your
Maiestie
hath
taken
offence
at
some
of
our
actions
,
we
humbly
beseech
you
to
beleeue
that
they
were
against
our
intention
;
which
was
neuer
otherwise
then
to
render
all
true
faithfulnesse
,
obedience
and
respect
vnto
your
Maiestie
;
and
that
what
we
haue
done
,
hath
bene
by
extreme
and
vrgent
necessitie
;
which
you
may
be
pleased
not
to
impute
to
vs
as
a
crime
,
but
rather
to
remit
and
pardon
all
,
wherein
we
may
haue
displeased
your
Maiestie
.
For
these
respects
(
Sir
)
wee
in
all
humilitie
beseech
you
to
grant
vs
a
safe
conduct
,
as
well
for
such

it
shall
be
needfull
to
send
to
the
Prouinces
and
principall
persons
of
our
Religion
,
as
to
your
Maiestie
,
to
the
end
that
prostrating
our selues
at
your
feete
,
we
may
confirme
the
true
protestations
of
our
sound
fidelitie
,
obedience
and
subiection
,
and
obtaine
of
your
clemencie
and
goodnesse
whatsoeuer
shall
be
necessarie
for
the
quiet
and
safetie
of
our
Churches
,
vnder
the
benefit
of
your
Maiesties
Edicts
.
And
wee
shall
be
bound
to
iterate
our
continuall
and
most
feruent
prayers
to
God
