The book is a satirical criticism of the English church and state, which Fish believed were corrupt and oppressive towards the poor. Fish's argument is presented in the form of a petition or supplication addressed to King Henry VIII, in which he argues that the church and state should be reformed in order to alleviate the suffering of the poor and disadvantaged. Fish's work is considered to be one of the earliest examples of English social criticism and has been influential in the development of social welfare policies. The book is written in Middle English and can be challenging to read for modern English speakers, but it provides a fascinating insight into the political and social issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
