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

us as men of this County that are not either by their fortune or residence any part of us And now your Petitioners doe even heartily pray that the God of Heaven in whose hand are the hearts of Kings would this day incline your Majesties heart seriously to consider these present and imminent miseries that this your Kingdome now groanes under in the peace whereof visibly under God consists the preservation of the Protestant Religion the redemption of our Brethren in Ireland and the establishment of that Kingdom to your Majesty and Posterity from those desperate and unparaleld Rebels that so your Majesty might graciously grant these your Petitioners humble desires which whatsoever will be said to the contrary your Petitioners are well assured would abundantly redound to the glory of God the honour and safety of your Majesty the good of your Posterity and the only probable meanes under God with peace and plenty to make this your Kingdome happy besides the acquisition of your peoples hearts the greatest treasure of Princes all which will gloriously represent your Majesty a lively portraiture of him who is the fountaine of Wisedome and Piety To whom we shall ever pray for your Majesties long and prosperous Reigne To the Right Honourable the Lords and Commons in the High Court of Parliament assembled The humble Petition of the Gentry Ministers Free holders and other Inhabitants of the County of York assembled there at his Majesties command the 3. of June 1642.
