THE HUMBLE PETITION OF Divers Barronets Knights Esquires Gentlemen Ministers Freeholders and others of the County of Derby to the number of seven thousand seventy and seven Humbly Sheweth THat when we have seriously considered that unexpressible danger this Kingdome was in at the time of your election to that great and honourable burthen which for the Glory of God and good of this Church and Commonwealth you have now a long time with patience undergone together with the manifold Grievances which then did and some wherof still do disquiet the peace and happinesse of the Kings Majesty and this Kingdome and the great opposition the blessed work of Reformation hath met with by those who are illaffected to the State and when we call to mind not withstanding all this emnity the many and great works which God hath bin pleased already to effect by the wisedome pains and unwearied dilligence of this Honourable Parliament God somtimes turning even the plots and practises of the adverse party to the furtherance of his own work we cannot but give God the glory of his free grace in Christ to this Kingdome and withal due thankfulnesse commemorate your industrious labors to perfect the great design of this Kingdoms happinessé so judiciously begun and accordingly prosecuted and which we hope by the continued mercy of God your accustomed Co-operations and the willing agreement of your gracious Sovereign will in Gods due time arise to a sweet perfection to the joy of us and our prosperities and yet although wee live far off wee cannot but hear of those many late obstructions and malevolent hinderances with which this good work hath bin opposed by meanes of the malignant party who by evill Councels and other strange and formerly unheard of courses have indeavored to infringe the lawfull power and liberties of Parliament to continue Popish Innovations to oppresse our Consciences with unnecessary Ceremonies and to destroy the lawfull Rights of the Subject All which we conceive are contrary to that happy PROTESTATION so providently commended unto us by this Honourable House Besides the cursed Plots that have bin invented against our beloved Friends of SCOTLAND and our poor distressed Brethren in Ireland Whose lamentable Condition our soules bleed within us to remember and other sensible Grievances at large declared in your late and faithfull Remonstrance of the State of this Kingdome In tender consideration whereof and for that many thousand of poor people amongst us do already feel the heavie pressures of those long delais in setling the State of this Kingdom and we do give humble thanks to Almighty God the Kings most excellent Majesty and this high and ever to be honoured Parliament both the House of Peers Commons for that happy agreement in those good and wholesome Lawes already Voted by you both and Enacted for the welfare of Church and Commonwealth and especially the late Acts for freeing the Bishops and Clergy from their distractions by temporall affairs that hopefull beginning of provision for relief of Ireland so we do willingly joyn with the many thousands of our Brethren and fellow petitioners in and about the Honourable Citie of London and other severall Counties of this Kingdome humbly to supplicate this honourable Assembly still earnestly to mediate with his Majesty and the House of Peers for their concurrance with you and by the power of Christ go on cheerfully with what speed you may to the perfecting of those good endeavors so worthily begun and to find out prosecute and punish all notorious Offendors in Church and Commonwealth That the Popish Lords may all be removed from having votes in Parliament Papists fully disarmed and confined Church-papists discovered and the evill Councells of the Popish and malignant party disappointed and for the time to come wisely prevented speedily and fully according to your good beginning to succor poor Ireland and that by a quiet execution of your late agreeing Votes England may be armed with a present care of defence by a posture of War That all power and places of strength may under God confide in that the power and priviledges of Parliament may be confirmed and for future time predefended that all Congregations may by your Religious wisedome be provided of fit and able Ministers and that the Doctrine and Discipline of Christ may be vindicated from all corruptions and by Gods blessing we shal make good our aforesaid Protestation to the uttermost That England may still continue one of Christs golden Candlesticks the Ministers stars in his right hand the whole Kingdome and people in Covenant with God and in the blessed peace of the Gospell we may sit every man under his own Vine and Figtree and enjoy a happy peace to us and prosperity to the worlds end Thus shall your Petitioners bee bound daily to pray This Petition was presented by Sir Iohn Curzon Knight and Barronet who serves for that County and after it was read was thankfully accepted by the house and speciall Order given for the recording of it with the Petitions of severall other Counties Hen.
