The counterpart, which were foure|teene in number, richlie apparelled in veluet, cloath of gold, and embroderie, euerie man after his owne deuise.

In this parlement were diuerse acts made, but in e|speciall two, which were much spoken of: the one was the act of apparell, and the other act for labou|rers: of these two acts was much communing, and much businesse arose. For the labourers would in no wise labour by the daie, but all by taske & in great, and therefore much trouble fell in the countrie, and in especiall in haruest time, for then husbandmen could skarse get workemen to helpe in their haruest.
