Joyfull Newes FROM Lincolne-shire THe Inhabitants of the Countie of Lincolne having by their Petitions to the high Court of Parliament declared their hearty affections to them desiring them to goe on with confidence promising them that their Lives estates and all they could command should be laid downe at their Feet Likewise their Petition presented to his Majestie at Yorke wherein they humbly intreated his Majesty to returne to his Parliament declaring the great misery apparent troubles that were like to ensue and fall upon this Kingdome if his Majesty should any longer deny his gratious presence and Royall assent to his high Court of Parliament wherein they declared the depth of their affections to the Parliament and their earnest desire 〈◊〉 preserve the peace of the Kingdome Neverthelesse they having received an Answer to their Petition were reviled by the Cavaliers and called Round-heads with other abuses not fit to be mentioned At their returne from Yorke they by order of the Committee of Parliament assembled to put the Ordinance of Militia in execution where there were assembled many thousands to the great admiration and not little satisfaction of the Lieutenants of the Shire that were appointed by the Parliament to see the said Ordinance put in execution Likewise they then gave such large testimonies of his love and obedience to the Parliament that the Committee thought it necessary to give imformation thereof to the House who returned them thankes for the same animating them on to a continuance in the same duty Which they had great reason to do there being at that very instant Officers appointed by His Majesty to put the commission of Aray in execution Neverthelesse though His Majesties Officers had put up the Proclamation concerning His Majesties disavowing the ordinance of the Militia withall giving strict command in His Majesties name that they should not yeeld obedience to the said Ordinance they still with chearfulnesse pursued in the due execution of the same His Majesty finding that his expectation was made frustrate and that he could not prevail with his officers being councelled thereto by the Lord Mowbray was resolved to goe in person to put the commission of Aray in execution Where being arived he by his speciall command caused the gentry and cominalty of the said Countie to be summoned who according to their Loyalty and Allegiance obeyed His Majesties command By reason of which they have undergone many censures some calling them Turne-coats and many other ignominious names For which cause they thought it convenient to declare their Resolution concerning their obedience to His Majesty and their duty to the Parliament For their obedience to His Majesties commands they declare that it stood not with their loyalties to stand in flat opposition to His Majesties commands His Majesty commanding nothing which intrenched upon the Peace of the Kingdome or the priviledge of Parliament Withall they doe declare that if His Majesty shall command them they will march with him and obey his just commands as loyall and obedient Subjects But likewise they are resolved so farre to preserve their duty to the Parliament that if his Majesty in his owne person or by his ministers shall command them to put any thing in execution against the Parliament or imploy any others of His Majesties Forces in any such design that then they will not onely forbeare the performance of any such act themselves but also hazard then lives in opposing of all such as shall any way indeavour the same Promising that they

and worsted them taking the said Hastings away before the Countrey could come in to their rescue Neverthelesse they were forced to fly as fast as their legs could carry them Likewise it is resolved upon the Question by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament that in case any Force be brought out of one County into another County of this Kingdome to disturbe the peace of the Kingdome that the Lord Lieutenants and the Deputy Lieutenants of the Counties adjoyning be required to give aid and assistance to the said Lord Lieutenants or Deputy Lieutenants requiring the same c.
