They ask the king to ordain, by authority of parliament, that the act granting the writs against the petitioners to Thomas, and the writs, convictions, judgments and attainders following on from it, should be annulled, and the petitioners restored to their previous condition, and to their possessions, as if it had never been: with a proviso that the Prince of Wales is not to be sued or troubled for seizing any of the possessions which they forfeited.
