Now afore God, God forbid I say true, If you do wrongfully seize Herfords right, Call in his Letters Patents that he hath By his Atturneyes generall, to sue His Liuerie, and denie his offer'd homage, You plucke a thousand dangers on your head, You loose a thousand well-disposed hearts, And pricke my tender patience to those thoughts Which honor and allegeance cannot thinke Ric. Thinke what you will: we seise into our hands, His plate, his goods, his money, and his lands Yor. Ile not be by the while: My Liege farewell, What will ensue heereof, there's none can tell.
