Sheweth ,

THat Your Petitioner hath about Ten Years , waited for the Justice of the Laws of Your Kingdom , at his Vast Charge ; and still attends the Issue of his Claim . And being informed , that the Lord Ogle is endeavouring an Interest , to get an Act of Parliament , for Settling the Lands of that Earldom upon him , under the Name of Percy . And Your Majesty having always declared Your Royal Pleasure , That You would not wrong an Innocent Heir : And Henry the Fourth Earl of Northumberland , and John Nevell Lord Mountague , being Presidents of Restitution , when in Default .

Your Petitioner most Humbly prayes , and hopes Your Gracious Majesty will be pleased to consider his Case ; and of Your Royal Wisdom and Justice , to Restore him to the State and Dignity of his Ancestors ; having proved himself at Law , a True Percy , of the Family and Blood of the House of Northumberland . And Your Petitioner shall Pray , &c.

THis Petition was Presented into the King's Sacred Hand , the 25th . of November , 1679. and the ▪ Master in waiting , his Account was much like to that of Sir John Berkensheds . So the Claymant's Case lies wholly before the Parliament . And therefore , most humbly prayes , That if the Lord Ogle goes on , and prevails in their Act of Parliament , that there may be a Saving put into that Act , for James Percy , the now Claymant , and his Heirs ; according to the King's Gracious Direction .

Moreover , That the Right Honourable , the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , will be graciously pleased to call the Pedigree of the Claymant before them ; and according to a Verdict exemplifyed under the Seal of his Majesties Court of King's-Bench , to Report . So that , the King's most Excellent Majesty may be fully satisfyed ; and the Claymant , James Percy , may at last be Restored to the Place and Seat of his Ancestors , Earls of Northumberland .

Do Justice ; Remove Oppression ; Then GOD will Bless our King , Parliament , and People , to the Amazement of England's Enemies , and Joy to all his Majesties Loyall Subjects .

All New Matters are still plac'd in the Front of this Book , as the Directions further cites to .
