No Lord Maior, 'twill make them more outrageous, And be a mean to shed a world of blood: I more account the blood of Englishmen than so, But this is the place I have appointed them To hear them speak and have adventured, To come among this foul verily crew: And lo my Lords, see where the people comes. My Masters this is the King, come away, 'tis he that we would speak with all. Newton, desire that one may speak for all; To tell the sum of their demand at full. My Masters you that are the especial men, His Majesty requires you all by me, That one may speak and tell him your demand, And gently here he lets you know by me, He is resolved to hear him all at large. I good my friends, I pray you heartily, Tell us your minds as mildly as you can: And we will answer you so well to all, As you shall not mislike in anything. We come to revenge your Officers ill demeanour, And though we have killed him for his knavery, Now we be gotten together, we will have wealth and liberty It is enough, believe me if you will, For as I am your true succeeding Prince, I swear by all the Honour of my Crown, You shall have liberty and pardon all, As God hath given it and your lawful King. Ere we'll be pinched with poverty, To dig our meat and victuals from the ground, That are as worthy of good maintenance, As any Gentleman your Grace doth keep, We will be Kings and Lords within ourselves. And not abide the pride of tyranny. I pray thee fellow what countryman art thou? It skills not much, I am an Englishman. Marry Sir he is a Kentishman, and hath been my scholar ere now. Little good manner hath the villain learned, To use his Lord and King so barbarously. Well people ask you any more, Than to be free and have your liberty. Then take my word I promise it to you all, And eke my general pardon now forth with, Under seal and Letters patents to perform the same. Let every man betake him to his home, And with what speed our Clarks can make dispatch, Your pardons and your Letters patents, Shall be forth with sent down in every shire. Marry I thank your Grace, Hob Carter and the Essex men will home again, and we take your word. We believe you all, and thank you all, And presently we will commandment give, That all this business may be quickly ready. I tell thee Wat, this is not that that I would have, I come for more than to be answered thus, And if the Essex men will needs be gone, Content, let them go suck their Mams at home, I came for spoil and spoil I'll have. Do what thou wilt Jack, I will follow thee. How and if it be to the Gallows.
