To the Kings most Excellent Majestie The humble Petition of the Gentry and Commons of the County of Yorke Most Royall Soveraigne ENcouraged by Your Majesties many Testimonies of Your Gratious Goodnesse to us and our Countie which we can never Sufficiently acknowledge we in all duty and Loyalty of heart addresse our Selves to Your Sacred Majestie beseeching You to cast Your eyes and thoughts upon the Safetie of Your own Person and Your Princely Issue and this whole Countie a great meanes of which we concieve doth consist in the Armes and Ammunition at Hull placed there by Your Princely care and charge and since upon Generall apprehension of dangers from Forreigne parts represented to your Maiestie thought fit as yet to be continued We for our parts conceiving our selves to be still in danger do most humbly beseech your Maiesty that you wil be pleased to take such course and order that your Magazine may still there remaine for the better securing of these and the rest of the Northerne parts And the rather because we thinke it fit that that part of the Kingdome should be best provided where your Sacred Person doth reside your Person being like DAVIDS the light of Israel and more worth then ten thousand of us Who shall daily pray c. ¶ His Majesties Message sent to the Parlia●ent April 24. 1642. Concerning Sir John Hotham's Refusall to give His Majesty Entrance into Hull HIs Maiestie having received the Petition inclosed from most of the chief of the Gentry neer about York desiring the stay of his Maiesties Arms and Munition in His Magazine at Hull for the safety not onely of His Maiesties Person and Children but likewise of all these Northern parts The manifold rumours of great Dangers inducing them to make their said Supplication Thought it most fit to go Himself in Person to his Town of Hull to view His Arms and Munition there that thereupon he might give Directions what part thereof might be necessary to remain there for the security and satisfaction of His Northern Subiects and what part thereof might be spared for Ireland The Arming of His Maiesties Scots Subiects that are to go thither Or to replenish his chiefest Magazine of the Tower of London Where being come upon the three and twentieth of this instant Aprill much contrary to his expectation He found all the Gates shut upon him and the Bridges drawn up by the expresse command of Sir Iohn Hotham who for the present commands a Garrison there and from the Walls flatly denied his Maiestie Entrance into his said Town the reason of the said deniall being as strange to his Maiestie as the thing it self It being That he could not admit His Maiestie without breach of Trust to his Parliament which did the more incense his Maiesties anger against him for that he most Seditiously and Traiterously would have put his disobedience upon his Maiesties parliament which his Maiestie being willing to clear demanded of him if he had the impudence to aver that the Parliament had directed him to deny his Maiestie entrance and that if he had any such Order that he should shew it in Writing for otherwise his Maiestie could not beleeve it which he could no wayes produce but maliciously made that false interpretation according to his own Inferences confessing that he had no such positive Order which his Maiestie was ever confident of But his Maiestie not willing to take so much-pains in vain offered to come into that his Town onely with twentie Horse finding that the maine of his pretence lay That his Maiesties Traine was able to Command the Garrison Notwithstanding his Maiestie was so desirous to go thither in a private way that he gave warning thereof but over-night Which he refusing but by way of Condition which his Maiestie thought much below him held it most necessarie to declare him Traitour unlesse upon better thoughts he should yeeld obedience which he doubly deserved aswell for refusing Entrance to his naturall Soveraign as by laying the reason the reof groundlesly and maliciously upon his Parliament One Circumstance His Maiesty cannot forget That his Son the Duke of York and his Nephew the Prince Elector having gone thither the day before Sir John Hotham delayed the letting of them out to his Maiestie till after some Consultation Hereupon His Maiestie hath thought it expedient to demaund Iustice of his Parliament against the said Sir John Hotham to be exemplarily inflicted one him according to the Laws and the rather because his Maiestie would give them a fit occasion to free themselves of this imputation by him so injuriously cast upon them to the end His maiestie may have the easier way for the chastising of so high a disobedience
