Perkin Warbeck. that vile Rebel, in his Proclamation to the people, could tell them, That the King had put apart all well-disposed Nobles; had ⟨p. 36⟩none in favour and trust about his person, but Caitives and Villains of birth: which by subtle inventions, and pilling of the people, had been the principal finders, occasioners, and Counsellors of the mis-rule and mischief now reigning in England. He tells them of the great and execrable offences daily committed and done by the King and His Adherents in breaking the Liberties and Franchises of our Mother the holy Church; to the high displeasure of Almighty God: Besides, of manifold Treasons, abominable murders, manslaughters, robberies, extortions, the daily pilling of the people by dismes, taxes, tallages, benevolences, and unlawful impositions, and grievous exactions. From all which grievances he promises redress, if the people will join with him. Is not here a fair show, and yet this was a foul rebellion? Speed lib. 9. c. 20.
