THE Kings most Excellent Maiestie , calling to His remembrance the many complaints in the late conuention of Parliament , aswell by sundry of the House of Commons , as by others His subiects of seuerall parts of this Realme , not only against Monopolies and other like Patents , but also concerning many other grieuances , some touching the administration of Iustice , and excessiue fees taken in His Maiesties Courts , others concerning trade and commerce , and many others of seuerall natures and qualities ; And His Maiestie ( desiring aboue all things , to yeeld ease and comfort to His people ) by memorable examples of Iustice , and also by sundry Proclamations , Commissions , and other Actes , and Orders made by himselfe , and His Priuie Councell , not only sitting the Parliament , and in the times of the adiournement thereof , but also since the dissoluing and breaking vp of the same , Hath fully declared His earnest affection and constant resolution to prouide fitting remedies for all those euils , which may tend to the hurt of His people . And more especially calling to minde , That by His Royall Proclamation , dated the tenth day of Iuly , in the nineteenth yeere of His Reigne , He did publish and declare , That both His owne , and the eares of His Priuie Councell should be open to the modest and iust complaints of His people , aswell concerning Monopolies , and other Patents of euill nature and consequence , as concerning other grieuances against the publique ; His Maiestie continuing the same His Gracious and Princely disposition , which is not confined vnto Times and Meetings in Parliament , but at all seasons , and vpon all occasions watcheth ouer the publique weale of His Kingdomes , hath ( for the remoouing of all ambiguities and doubtes , which might discourage and deterre His people from taking holde of that His Princely offer , as though in His Maiesties intention it were limited or restrayned to any certain times , or to particular grieuances ) thought fit heereby againe to inuite His subiects to imbrace His gracious and Princely fauour , for the releeuing of them in whatsoeuer their iust grieuances , and that in a more easie and ready way then hath beene propounded at any time heeretofore ; not doubting but His louing subiects ( well weighing His abundant goodnesse and care towards them ) will applie themselues vnto His Maiestie for their reliefe , in such a modest and temperate course , as may tend to the glory of His gouernment , their own weale and tranquility , and the vtter abolishing of all those priuate whisperings and causelesse rumors , proceeding from particular humor , which , without giuing to his Maiestie any opportunitie of reformation by particular knowledge of any fault , serue to no other purpose but to occasion and blow abroad discontentment . And therefore His Maiestie doth heereby publish and declare , That He hath appointed George , Marquesse of Buckingham , Lord High Admirall of England , Thomas , Earle of Arundell and Surrey , Earle Marshall of England , William , Earle of Pembroke , Lord Chamberlaine of His Maiesties houshold , Lancelot , Bishop of Winchester , and William , Bishop of S. Dauid , select and principall persons , authorising and requiring them , or any two or more of them , to sit once a weeke , at least , at His Maiesties Palace of Whitehall , to receiue the petitions and complaints of His louing subiects concerning their iust grieuances , and to certifie the same to himselfe , or His Priuie Counsell , as shal be fittest for due redresse : Wherein His Maiestie doeth declare , That as it is not His intent , that matters of ordinary nature or consequence should be drawen thither , but left to the proper Courts of Iustice , which haue conusance thereof : So His Maiestie doeth not restraine their complaints to any particular sort of grieuances , but is well pleased that His subiects may freely resort thither , for any notable oppression , exaction , bribery , or other grieuance , where the quality of the offence , or eminency of the person , or office of the offendour may require an extraordinary proceeding . Neuerthelesse , his Maiestie doeth admonish , that vnder colour thereof , no man presume to present there any causelesse clamours , which if they shall doe , they must expect to be punished with the same seuerity , which their complaints aymed and endeauoured vniustly to draw on others .
