[1] [2] [3] Upon this occasion therfore, Polydor. The king gi|ueth a gentle answer to his lords. they sued to the king for the restitution of the ancient lawes according to his promise, who to pacifie them for the time, gaue them a gentle answer, assuring them, that he would perfourme all that he had promised, so soone as oppor|tunitie would permit and suffer him so to doo. How|beit, afterwards by the aduise of certeine old coun|cellours, which had béene of the priuie councell with king Iohn his father, he found a shift to disappoint them of their demands, by requiring them on the o|ther side, to restore vnto him those things which they had in times past receiued of his ancestors. Fur|thermore, bicause he would the more easilie obteine his purpose, and make the residue afraid to follow a suit so displeasant and irkesome, he thought best to begin with the chiefe authors and first procurers of the said petitions, and to take from them whatsoeuer they held belonging to his crowne.
