For first came the kings gratious and frée pardon,The kings pardon offred, receiued, refused. discharging & par|doning all them and the rest of the rebels, of all trea|sons, murthers, felonies, & other offenses doone to his maiestie before the one & twentith of August, 1549. Which pardon although Ombler contemptuouslie reading, persisted still in his wilfull obstinacie, dis|suaded also the rest from the humble accepting of the kings so louing & liberall pardon: yet notwithstan|ding with some it did good, who of likelihood submitted themselues, assuredlie belieuing if they perseuered in their enterprise, there was no way with them but one, namelie deserued death, wherewith there was no dispensing after the contempt of the princes par|don and refusall of his mercie; so that in this hea|uie case they might verie well complaine and saie:
