Here follows in articles certain advertisements sent by my lord prince to the earl of Warwick his father-in-law, for to be shown and communicated by him to King Henry his father and his council, to the intent that the same advertisements, or such of them as may be thought expedient for the good public of the realm, can be practised and put in use.

First, forasmuch as many of the lords and other men in lower estate, which in this time of the king's great trouble have done him good service to their great charges and costs, and other of his faithful subjects, which for his sake and their true acquittal have suffered great harms in their persons and loss of their goods, will now sue to his highness both for rewards and for recompense of their harms, such as reason, liberality and above all royal munificence would they should have. Yet if the king by such consideration gives to some man and not to another, who for the same reason ought to be rewarded, there shall grow great grudge amongst his people. And also some man, with importunity of suit, and by partial means, shall be able to obtain greater rewards than they have deserved, and yet complain, seeing they have too little.
