To the Kings most Excellent Maiesty The humble Petition of the Gentry Ministers Free-holders and other Inhabitants of the County of York Assembled by his Majesties speciall Summons at Heworth Moore neere the City of York on Fridy the third of Iune 1642. Sheweth THat this particular County most affectionate to your Majesties service hath well night for these three yeers last past been the Stage whereon the Tragicall miseries which necessarily accompany Warre and Armies have beene presented and acted whereby the generall wealth and plenty of this County is exhausted and brought very low Which waight of miseries are sensibly become much more heavy by reason of your Majesties distance in residence and difference in Counsells from your great Councell the Parliament begetting great distempers and distractions throughout the Kingdome and have specially amongst us produced factions and divisions drawing into these parts great numbers of discontented persons that may too justly be feared doe affect the publike ruine for their private advantage All which evils are daily fomented and made more formidable by your Majesties drawing together as wee conceive not according to Law many Companies of the Trained Bands and others both Horse and Foot of this County and retaining multitudes of Commanders and Cavaleers from other parts and by the daily resort of Recusants and persons disaffected in Religion to your Majesties Court at York and by the great preparation of Armes and other warlike provisions which begets in us feares of Warrs to the great terrour and amazement of us your Majesties peaceable Subjects and to the great decay of all Commerce and industrious courses for the wealth and prosperity of the Country especially of Clothing which is the maine subsistence of this County and is since your Majesties residence amongst us and the following distractions thereupon suddenly obstructed insomuch that many thousand Families who are of and have their livelihood by the Trade of Clothing are now at the point of utter undoing which inevitably will prove to be of dangerous consequence and will be the in-let to our approaching and unavoidable ruine unlesse your Majesty please graciously to give redresse by removing the causes which produce these miserable effects it being too true that very many in these and other parts of the Kingdome doe wholly withdraw themselves from their former Commerce and Dealing and others both Merchants and Chapmen doe generally refuse to make payment for Goods long since sold and delivered alledging that others refuse to pay them for any Commodity formerly sold till the fears and distractions of the Land be settled Which if not suddenly prevented will fortwith over-turn all such wayes of advantage and comfort as have formerly made this Kingdome and this County in particular prosperous and happy We doe therefore in all humility and duty in the sence of our present deplorable condition beseech your Majesty to pardon Vs if We importune Your Majesty more than others since We have endured and are in hazard more than any and that from these apprehensions We may offer to Your Majesty our earnest Petition for redresse and prevention of these evils daily threatning danger to Your Majesty and destruction to us which we conceive is impossible any other way to be effected than by Your Majesties entertaining a right understanding betwixt Your Selfe and Parliament and affording Your Gracious eare and consent to such counsels and Propositions as shall be tendered by them to Your Majesty for the honour and greatnesse of Your Majesty and Posterity and the good of this Church and Kingdome and by Your Majesties declining all other Counsels whatsoever and uniting Your confidence to Your Parliament And that Your Majesty would in no way think fit to put us upon that Rock of dividing the duty we owe to Your Majesty Your Parliament and the whole Kingdome to which we are so deeply engaged by our Protestation which Your Maiesty to our knowledge never dissented from nor declared against and that whilst Your Maiesty expects our performance in one part thereof we may not being equally engaged impeach at all or in the least degree doe lesse than our duty in the other which we stand resolved of by no meanes either of feare or favour to bee drawn to doe and that Your Maiesty would take into consideration that Your Parliament being the supreame Judicatory of Your Kingdom the very essence thereof must of very necessity bee destroyed if their Counsels and determinations be subiected to alteration or reversall by the Counsels or opinions of any private persons how learned or iudicious so ever and seeing your Maiesty hath passed an Act that this Parliament shall not be dissolved or adjourned without consent of your Majesty and both Houses Wee humbly beseech your Majesty to take into your gracious and provident thoughts that nothing may be done tending thereunto and that the Lords and great Officers now called hither by your Majesties command may speedily return to the High Court of Parliament whereby it may be evident to the World that your Majesty intends not to decline the Law so enacted and that since your Majesty hath graciously declared your confidence in the affections of this County Your Majesty would not think it fit an extraordinary Guard should be raised thereour and the Cavaleers and others of that quality still continued about your Majesty as men most usefull and as if kept for some d●signe they not having for ought we know either interest in or affections to the publike good their language and behaviour speaking nothing else but division and warre and their advantage consisting in that which is most destructive to others And lastly that since your Majesty hath called in this County to attend your Majesty this day your Petitioners do most humbly supplicate that none either Cavaliers or others who in truth have not present fortunes in this County may be admitted into any meeting this day concerning the publike businesse thereof or hereafter into any present Vote or Consultation when any further meeting may be to prepare and consider of some fit answer to what your Majesty shall propound we humbly conceiving it neither just nor equall but a thing to be protested against that any whosoever should be thrust upon

and suppresse any evill affected persons who would raise Armes against the subiects of the other Kingdome without consent of Parliament as traytors to the estate much more to Petition against it and wherein there is appointed a Commission of the estates for the conservation of this peace in the interim betwixt Parliaments All which the Petitioners amongst the rest of the good subiects of this Kingdome did hazard their lives and estates to obtaine And did demand in the Treaty upon their dangerous experience of the Councell of England there medling in the affaires betwixt His Maiesty and this Kingdome to the engaging of the Nations in Warre which is so often condemned by the estates of this Kingdome in their Remonstrances pressing that common rule of Equity To doe as you would be done unto which now is and may bee retorted on this Kingdom Like as desiring earnestly that your Lordships in these publique resolutions of so great consequences to these Kingdoms may carry along with you the hearts and consciences of the body of this Kingdom and prevent that the breaches grow not wider by false confidences grounded upon sudden undertakings of any persons as also their naturall affection and duty to their gracious Die Lunae 6.
