Once againe the levelling sisters drew up to a Randevous to westminster,
by reason their petition was not received, upon Munday the
House tooke it, and having perused it gave them answer by the Serjant
at Armes, which is in briefe, that the Parliament had formerly answered

The King and Councell of France have set out an Edict in all parts
of that Kingdome, strictly Commanding all English to depart within
Ten dayes, save such who are permitted by the Kings especiall protection,
which none but Cavaliers (of the English party) can obtaine;
for any of those who have served the Westminster Conventicle, will not
be tolerated to abide in that Kingdome. It seemes the King of France
doth not intend to make his Land a receptacle for Rebels.
