sample: Sir Joh. Therefore, my Lord, we are well enough content, and did not intend to trouble your Lordships with any Complaints. But my Lords, be our Number as great as it will, I humbly conceive his Majesty hath no cause of Complaint. We are no more than it hath pleased his Majesty to dubb. And if his Majesty will needs make a Noun of every thing, that can be seen, felt, heard, or understood, how should the Kingdome choose but be full of Knights? (pp. 31-32)
