A LETTER SENT By a Yorkshire Gentleman to a friend in London Being a full and true Relation of the proceedings betweene his Majesty and the County of York at Heworth Moore upon Friday June 3. Also the most materiall passages of this Weeke from London Westminster c. Worthy Sir MY Engagements to you command the passages of this day I am confident the Printed Summons so long before published and the severall adjournments of our meeting have begot in you as in all parts about us strong expectations of the issue In the first place his Majestie attended with divers Lords of the House of Peeres and the 140. Troopers of Knights and Gentlemen of this Countie led by the Prince their Captaine some of the House of Commons with the 800. of the Trained Bands as a foot Guard appeared this day on Heworth Moore where in the judgement of most were betweene 60. and 70. thousand Free-holders and others After his Majestie had rid about the field He declared that that which he had to say to them he had put in Print and so dispersed the same through the field At the delivery thereof divers of the Cavelliers and others shaked their Hats over their heads and the people cryed God blesse the King God unite the King and Parliament and God turne the Kings heart and with this they followed the King from the Moore to the Citie But by the way let me advertise you of some passages upon the Moore Sir John Bourchier being among the Freeholders and reading a Petition openly in the field for their approbation to be presented in the Name of the Countie to His Majestie thereby declaring their dislike that those Cavelliers should be so neare the Court as if they were kept for some designe And desiring the King to comply with the Parliament to dismiss them The Lo Savill having notice thereof came in a furious manner to Sir Jo. Bourchier saying Sirrah what Pamphlet are you reading there who answered no Pamphlet but that thing which he could iustifie What is it some seditious Petition I command you to deliver it which he refusing the Lord Savill was ready to take him by the Throate laying his hand upon his Sword threatned what he would do to him if hee did not deliver it whereupon the Free-holders who approved of the same were earnest to lay violent hands on his Lordship but Sir John Bourchier desirous to avoyd shedding of Blood which unavoydably would have followed delivered the same the Free-holders were so keene to bee revenged on his Lordship for affronting them in hindering their Petitioning to his Maiestie that they presently caused another Copie of the same to be read openly in the Field which receiving a generall approbation none opposing it publikely but one Bradley a Parson Popish and of a vitious conversation They requested Sir Thomas Fairefaxe Knight sonne to Fardinando Lord Fairefaxe to present the same Petition to his Maiestie publikely declaring their approbation thereunto which hee notwithstanding the Lord Savills opposition accepted of and used his utmost endeavour to deliver the same and after extraordinary opposition made his way thorough the Horse and came at last neare to his Maiestie and alighted and tendred the same who putting it aside with his hand declined the acceptance thereof and Sir Thomas Fairfaxe pressing the second time with more earnestnesse received the like refusall yet left the same upon the Pummell of his Maiesties Saddle and returned and acquainted the Free-holders therewith who being troubled at his Maiesties refusall resolved to goe into the Citie and as many of them whose habitations were neare Yorke and could make stay went and subscribed the Petition after gave directions to present the same to the Parliament together with a short Petition to both Houses shewing the affronts they received by the Lord Savill and the Lord Lindsey who tore one of the Petitions which I should have mentioned before The Cavilliers reported by reason of the acclamation of the people they were wholly for the King against the Parliament which the people hearing of declared they did not come that day with any intentions or resolutions to divide the King and Parliament nor would they ever condescend thereunto and were resolved of that answer in case any such propositions had beene made And because there was an appearance of so many thousands and nothing propounded to require their answer they went away much unsatisfied and discontent because they knew not wherefore they were summoned The Lord Savill who had endeavored to suppresse the generall Petition of the Countie hath since the dismission of the assembly being afraid of a publike Teste in an obscure manner procured hands to another Petition to the Parliament of a very strange Nature and hath procured the same to be Printed and to be dispersed through this Countie and Benson an Atturney at Common Law is designed by his Lordship to be imployed in the West Riding to progge for h●nds to that Petition Let me a little trespasse upon your patience and acquaint you with other Particulars This morning the Lord Newcastle is come and this night the Lord Strange is expected there are here about 42. peeres of the Realme and as many of the House of Commons And let me tell you what I heare that a Declaration is intended by the King and Lords if not by the Commons here present against the proceedings of Parliament what effect it will have I know not by the next Post perhaps you will heare the Chapter-house or Deanry is making fit with seats for Consultation much after the manner of the house of Commons Master Hide is expected this night Two Cart loades of Records and Bookes are come downe Master Holborne and Master Chadwell are every day looked for Yorke is a Sanctuary to all those that despise the Parliament The Cavilliers take liberty in railing against the Parliament and use all meanes to put affronts upon them and to disaffect the people from them for one Master King being imployed by the Sergeant at armes of the house of Commons for the apprehending of one Beckwith an Arch Papist who was the principall actor in the plot for surprise of Hull having apprehended him was rescued by 12. Cavilliers who beat Master King and kickt him downe the staires which the Committee at Yorke having notice of Sir Ph. Stapleton and Sir Hen. Cholmley went into the roome where they were and demanded the prisoner declaring withall they would have justice done upon them for this affront to the Parliament and at last obtained their Prisoner againe whereupon the Cavilliers went to Court and a Command came from his Majesty for the releasement of the prisoner and the Messenger of the house of Commons was sent for by Sir James Hay and some of the Kings Guard and for eight houres was under restraint of a Guard of Musketiers and was sent for to his Majesty who required him to shew his Warrant which he did and
