YOur Highnes readinesse, my liege Lord, to honour the Gospel, and the kingdome which advaunced Constantine your Maiesties auncestour, to rule the worlde, is nowe come to high hope, that Iewes and Christians from Bizantias Rome to Albion, desire an absolute treatise for this cause. If it please the K to differre no lōger, long expected allowance, these treatises promised to Iewes of Germanie, as the Princes haue my letters, shalbe soone taken in hand. The new Testament to speak by the phrases of Law & Thalmud, which the holy most learned Apostles translate: next that, an Ebrew treatise shewing that the Prophetes made this their marke: that God in Christ reconciled the [Page] world vnto him selfe. The third should enlarge al S. Paules Epistles to the Ebrewes, by cōsent of Rabbines in those times. The last should bring Rabbines vpon the olde Testament, to teach the same that the new Testament hath. I haue celebrated over the worlde, your Maiesties most religious asseveration in the yere of redemption 1596. For a thousande poundes an yeere for clearing the Bible: and your message by a Knight your sewer of 500. pounds annuitie. As God hath blessed the King, so your Princely honour in the principal cause of all studie, wil shew readie Royal liberalitie: and stirre vp al the Princes of Christēdome, with speedie zeale without delay.
[Page] [Page] A MOST HVMBLE SVPPLICATION VNTO THE KING, For present performance of long purposed allowance, to open the Law in the letters and tongue of Adam: for Iewes and all the sonnes of Adam.

Your Maiesties most humble subiect, H. Broughton.
