To the Honourable the Knights Citizens and Burgesses assembled in Parliament The humble Petition of the Knights Gentlemen Freeholders and other the Inhabitants in the County and Citie of Yorke Sheweth THat your Petitioners do with all than fulnesse acknowledge and resent the benefit of those good Lawes which you have already provided for us as most seasonable and precious fruits of your pious and prudent consultations As also of that most happy and re-united Peace betwixt us and Scotland our Neighbour Nation and the blessed care you have lately taken both to relieve our distressed Brethren in Ireland and to put the Town of Hull the chief strength of our County into such an hand as for his integrity wee have good cause to conside in As also to purge the House of Peeres of the Prelats votes a mayne obstruction to your happy undertakings And having received so much refreshment from you in our so important Concernments do take boldnesse to represent our humble requests That your pious care for the further reliefe of our distressed Brethren in Ireland may be continued and your wise resolutions thereupon put into speedy execution That this whole Kingdome may speedily be put into a Military posture of Defence both by Sea and Land That the Composition of Recusants with which his Majesty rests satisfied being paid the residue of their lands and goods forfeited by the Statute may be disposed of aswell for the safety of defensible Ports and places in this Kingdome as also for setling and mayntaining necessary Guards over the houses of papists and popishly affected persons That the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremaci● may be impartially and speedily tendred to all papists and popishly affected persons whatsoever according to the Statute in that case provided That the Laws against Priests and Iesuits may be fully executed and that some present course may be directed for the disarming and confining of papists to their owne houses or else that some of the princiall most dangerous spirits of them in every County may be as caution for the peaceable deportment of the ●est confined to the custody of trusty persons in some places of safety if to your wisdoms it shall seem meet And th … 〈◊〉 may be deputed for these services as a●e not to be s●●pected to use any forbearance therein As also that such as are convicted Recusants some speedy course may be taken against them either by the present Laws in force or otherwise as shall seem best to your wisdoms that they may not be left so full handed and so readily prepared upon all occasions to manage either their owne or the Designes of others to our so eminent and continuall danger That the Votes of popish Peeres and others comming in by proxie being so apparant a Grievance may be redressed which are found not only prejudiciall to the wisest results of your consultations but also affords them liberty and opportunity to act and encourage the promoting the popish Cause in the Kingdome And because that to the making of a more succesfull passage to the accomplishment of all these our so important concernments it will be especially available that matters in Religion be chiefly regarded We therefore humbly desire that all such impediments as may hinder the progresse thereof may be removed Amongst which wee ranke in the first place scandalous Ministers as also places unprovided of such maintenance as is competent for persons of better endowments Humbly beseeching that for the remedy of both these you will be pleased to pursue your former pious intentions as also that Ceremoniall burdens may be removed and religion setled in such a way that such as make all conscience obediently to submit to Magistracie and civill authoritie in every degree and latitude of it both supreme and subordinate may not suffer under any penaltie meerely and only for conscience sake And forasmuch as these our Counties have undergone very great damage by the billeted souldiers which now they are lesse able to susteine then before by reason of the Manufactury trades of our Countrey daily decaying which we visibly discern not only tending much to the present impoverishing of a great number of Families whose maintenance and livelihood hath beene hitherto wholly supported upon that Foundation which being not prevented may prove to bee of dangerous Consequence but also to the weakening of the estates of Farmers and others because the benefit of Woolls and other Commodities of our Countrey do much depend upon the prospering of these foresaid Trades of Manufacture Wee therefore humbly desire that you would be pleased to direct such Course whereby considerable satisfaction may be made for what rests unpaid to such of our Countries as have been by the said billeted souldies thus en●ammaged That this Honourable House would bee pleased to move the well affected Lords and they and you both joyne in supplication to his Majesty that his Majesty would discover and nominate who those evill Councellours were that advised to those unparalall'd breaches of the prviledges of Parliament in charching those worthy members in so illegall a way and that were any occasion so long to remorate the reliefe of our distressed brethren in Ireland to the end they may be brought to condigne punishment And in case his Majesty shall not declare who they be that then you your selves would be pleased to endevour to find out and declare who in your judgement have beene the Contrivers and Fomentors of those evill counsels And being confidently assured of your re●dinesse to answer our desires as in other things so especially to further the Military posture of the Kingdome we humbly tender it to your consideration that for the speedy safetie of our owne Countrey both against any homebred Commotion or forraigne invasion we are ready and willing at our owne charge for three Moneths next ensuing to maintaine and billet three hundred of our bond of Horse and three thousand of our private Train-bond of foot in some most convenient places of the severall Ridings of our said County concerning which we have more particularly expressed our intendments in a schedule hereunto annexed to be in readinesse upon all occasions if in your wisedomes it shall be approved of And if so our most humble desire is the way may receive Countenance and confirmation by some Order from your honourable House And lastly that such things may be archieved as are worthy of the excellent wisedomes and painfull labours of such noble instruments whom unto our great rejoycing of heart wee evidently discerne to be for faithfully and indefatigably studious for the publique weale of this Nation Wee therefore for the better accomplishment of your Honourable endevours and for our more compleat enjoyment of the precious fruits thereof Most humbly desire that the high Court of Parliament of the infringement of the liberties whereof we are very sensible which in all your just and honourable wayes wee shall be ready to our utmost abilities to assist against the enemies of God the King State may in all the power and prviledges of it be inviolably maintained And your Petitioners shall daily pray c.
