Pagina ii - Spalatro first abused the word in this sense, so we could wish he had carried it away with him in his return to Rome.

The victorious Scots had also presented a petition, praying that without further opposition they might come into His Majesty's presence, that he would consider their grievances, would provide for the repair of their wrongs and losses, and, " with the advice of the states of the Kingdom of England convented in Parliament," would settle a firm and durable peace.
