Sir Thomas Edmonds,

I am sorry this House hath given occasion, of so many Messages about Tonnage and Poundage, after his Majesty hath given us a full satisfaction. You may perceive his Majesty is sensible of the neg∣lect of his business; we that know this, should not discharge our du∣ties to you, if we should not perswade you to that course, which should procure his Majesties good opinion of you. Your selves are witnesses how industrious his Majesty was to procure you gracious Laws in his Fathers time, and since that what enlargement he hath made of our liberties, and yet still we give him cause to repent him of the good he hath done. Consider how dangerous it is to Alienate his Majesties heart from Parliamens.
