May it please your Lordship,
I would sally forth in your Kingdom upon England’s green pastures and submit a treatise that although many of your subjects may not be dutiful nor humble, that in spite of this they live and work towards what one hopes to be Christian aims. Yet, I believe in ignorance not malicious intent do some threaten and cajole your majesty and his rulership beyond a seemly, normal standard.
As the Magna Carta pledges one majesty I pray you witness the contract your people as a nation have in civility written and by law are bound to keep dutifully and which is endowed with Christian and Godly purpose. I submit they strive and work to live in peace the breaches of which if serious, known and arrested are brought before officers and legitimate courts for adjudication by your worship’s acknowledged peers.
Given this avowed and transparent pledge of the responsible elected constituents to work towards the aims and terms of the Constituted government of your kingdom which your Majesty is at liberty to freely observe, may we hope and pray that, my Lord, you deign to refrain from unleashing or permitting the God of War to be among the subjects as it is expected they will become wise.
May I, furthermore, remind your Lordship, that the bad and sinful ways of subjects with evil intent must come before the Almighty at judgement day and we humanity but God’s creatures wholly attest our incapacity to judge others, we being but penitent sinners at best.
In the light of Jesus Christ we live and hope and pray.
Your humble servant,
R.
