Letter VII. To the freemen of Alnwick. Peradventure it may have appeared unto some of you (my brother-freemen) who are of the graver fort, that I have disported myself too much in some of these my letters and indulged an affection for humour beyond what was allowable in an old craftsman who was addressing his brethren upon so serious a subject as the care and preservation of their rights and privileges.
