Because that to many people, I have seemed to falsify my word and promise, which I made upon my being discharged out of Bethelem Hospital; : whereupon I am now liable to the imputation of a lyar and deceiver (which lies as a very great prejudice against the things I have heretofore written, and published to the world) I shall therefore here add the very form thereof; together with what is here observed thereon. To the right honourable Daniel Earl of N. Principal Secretary of State. The humble petition of Richard Stafford, a prisoner in Bethlehem Hospital.
