If it please the king: my request, whatsoever it is, I humbly and wholly submit it to the king's good pleasure, being resolved to acquiesce in it. If thy servant have found favour in thy sight: I pretend no merit, but am a humble suppliant for thy grace and favour, whereof having received some tokens, I am thereby imboldened to make this further request.
