Summary edit

Description
English: Message to King James I by Thomas Helwys in his book A Short Declaration of the Mistery of Iniquity (1612) that resulted in Helwys's imprisonment and death.

Content as follows:

"Heare, o King, and dispise not the counsell of the poore and let their complaints come before thee. The king is a mortall man and not God, therefore hath no power over the immortall soules of his subjects, to make lawes and ordinances for them, and to set Spiritual Lords over them. If the king have authority to make Spiritual Lords and lawes, then he is an immortall God, and not a mortall man. O King, be not seduced by deceivers to sine so against God whome thou oughtest to obey, nor against thy poore subjects who ought and will obey thee in all thinges with body, life and goods, or els let their lives be taken from the earth. God Save the King. Tho: Helwys. Spittlefeild neare London."
