A second admonition to the parliament

To the Queens most excellent majesty / the how[…] able Co[…]rs / all the Nobility & all the worshipful Commons of this realm. And I humbly beseech her Majesty in principal¹ to vouchsafe the hearing of us / and like as […] make our appear from the L. bishops to be uprightly heard / what may be said of our parts §10further / and more […]ghly in this matter of Gods / by divers o• no small learning and judgement / & […]tie of li•e / so it will please her majesty / and you all / jerem to accept our appeal / y• not only we may […] jus be oppressed / & wrung² as we are / against all equal and conscience / but also that God his cause should not i• so trodden under foot / the benefit of his church so little regarded / such daily contentions raised by / and not pacified / such grieving of godly mens consciences §20/ & they not relieved. In so quiera reign of our sovereign / that Papists for pity are not much disquieted / and yet there should be a persecution of pore christians / and the professors of the gospel suffered not far unlike to the s••e articles³ which crafty heads devised / and prought y• king her noble father unto as they would do her majesty how. That we should have God his cause by us truly and faithfully propounded / & by others wickedly oppugned / and withstood / & yet it may §30not by us again be maintained without great peril. We beseech you to pity this case / and to provide for it. It is the case already of many a thousand in this land / yea it is the case of as many as seek the Lord aright / & desire to have his own orders restored. Great troubles will come of it / if it be not provided for / even the same God that hath stirred me / a man unknown to speak / ⟨p. 60⟩
