PETITION OF THE WORKMEN ARMOURERS OF LONDON TO THE COUNCIL
S.P.D. Car. I, cclxxxix, 93, May, 1635
Petitioners being few in number & most of them aged about 7 years past sued to Her Mtie for some employment for preservation of the manufacture of armour making within the kingdom. Her Mtie on advice & report of the Council of War granted petitioners a patent which 2 years passed the great seal & was then called for by the Council for further consideration. Pray them to take the same into consideration and the distress of petitioners & either to pass the patent or if there be any omission in it to give orders for drawing up another.
