Ne living aide for her on earth appeares, / But-if the heavens helpe to redresse her wrong, / Moved with pity of her plenteous teares.

To redreſſe which default (the poore in all places beeing in penurie) I haue vndertaken to be their Solicitour, vnto all manner of perſons, which ought in equitie either to ſupply them, or to prouide that ſuch as make default (being well able) may bee compelled thereunto by further authoritie front the Almightie, if this gentle motion in the words precedent will not preuaile, which heere I will repeate and explane vnto them, (by Gods aſſiſtance)

What neede we any ſpurre, but our owne cauſe / To pricke vs to redreſſe? What other Bond / Than ſecret Romans, that haue ſpoke the Word, / And will not palter?

who liſt to lyue yn quyetnes by me lett hym beware For I by highe dyſdayne ame made withoute redreſſe and vnkyndenes Alas hathe ſlayne my poore trew hart all comfortles

But yee […] ought to be like sheep to your King, who ought to be like a Shepheard unto you, even in the time when your profit was sought, and better redresse was intended then your upstirres and unquietnesse could obtaine […]

For in that you would your awardship shuld take none effect, you shew your selfe nothing inclinable to the redresse of your brothers vnright dealinge wyth an honeste poore man, which hath bene redye at your request to doo you pleasure with his things, or els he had neuer come into this wrāgle for his own goods with your brother.
