IT is very hard for a man to be kept out of Possession, and his Opponents mannage all their Suits at Law against him with his own Estate; and that will not serve their turns, but they covet to get from the Claimant by Fraud, so that they may totally Ruine and disable him from prosecuting his Birth-right.

JAMES PERCY, (the true and lawful Heir-male to the Percy's Earls of Northumberland,) hath found more Injustice and Hardships here in England, than the Children of Israel found in Egypt, when they made Brick, and were forc'd to gather their own Straw to burn them.

When Joseph's good Works were forgot, then his Brethren suffer'd; But now the PERCY'S good deeds are forgot, their lawful Succes∣sor suffers in Prison; And therefore earnestly prays for a speedy De∣liverance. My great Pains, and Charge in Printing, is really inten∣ded rightly to inform the world, thereby to remove Oppression, and to revive justice.
