Members of the House of Lords ask for "the calling of a Parliament, regular and free in all its circumstances"

In this edition, line 4 of title ends with a period, the "b" of breaking in line 2 of text is under the "i" of "in", and "T. Oxon" is included in the list of signatories.

Uncontrolled note

Wing (2nd ed., 1994) E2849 says L has "4 settings". The CSmH edition and the Lsa edition match the Steele notations for I, 3901 (i.e. deep of Blood,), but include "T. Oxon" in list of signatories, which Steele copy does not. However, the L and CSmH copies are in different settings. Either the L copy or the CSmH copy could be a variant of Wing E2849 and Steele I, 3901, but until further comparisons can be made between copies, it is impossible to say
