44. ff. 70, 71. 'Mr Burgess petition to King James, 1604.'

The King admitted him to a personal conference and released him from the Tower. See Collier's Eccl. Hist. vi. 312 (ed. 1840). He subsequently wrote in defence of Church principles, and was collated to a prebend at Lichfield.

thereupon committed to the tower. It was delivered ex tempore, and Burgess subsequently wrote out and sent a copy to the Privy Council. It appears never to have been printed.
