To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The earlier petitions begin with the words ' au roi ', ' au conseil du roy ', ' au conseil du parlement ', ' au conseil en cest present parlement ', or others in similar style. Except for an occasional expletive, like ' good ' or ' wise ' in speaking of the council, they were without elaboration. In the later years of Edward III a new form appears which distinguishes more clearly the lords of parliament from the council — ' a notre Seigneur le Roy et touz les Prelatz et autres grantz du parleme...nt '.^ This address to the lords, however, was in- frequent before the reign of Richard II, when it is expressed with more unction, ' a notre tresexcellent et tresgracious seigneur le roi et autres seigneurs de son gracious parlement. ' ^ In keeping with this tendency the words of the address were given greater prominence by being set apart from the body of the petition in the upper margin of the bill. At the same time various irregular forms appear, which Experi- reveal at once the anxiety and uncertainty of petitioners as J^^ms!' to the course they should take.
