THE COPIE OF A LETTER Sent from divers Knights and Gentlemen of Nottinghamshire to the Knights serving for that County in PARLIAMENT 〈◊〉 1 Iuly 1642. YORK Printed by ROBERT BARKER Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL 1642. To our much Honoured Friends Sir Thomas Hutchinson Knight and Robert Sutton Esq Knights of the Shire for the County of Nottingham Gentlemen FInding to our great grief by divers printed Declarations the unhappy differences betwixt his Majestie and His Parliament and from thence apprehending great fear of further distractions we have thought fit to impart our hearts freely unto you as men chosen by us and intrusted for us to represent us and our desires in Your Honourable House of Commons Where in the first place upon all occasions we desire you to tender the acknowledgement of our humble hearty thanks for those many good Laws which by their Care and Wisdom together with his Majesties Grace and Favour have been obtained for us both for the securing us in the point of our Property and also for the freâ—ing us from the unlimited power of Arbitrary government And herein His Majestie having concurred with you in all that we could expect or can desire both for our Persons and Estates at severall times promised to joyn with his Parliament for the reforming and reducing both the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church to the best and purest times since the Reformation And if this were done what others would expect we know not we desire him for the future This is the cleer expression of our hearts this is that we desire you to consent in for us And we shall heartily pray that we might be an example to many others to make the like expressions And then we should not doubt but this would bring a right Understanding betwixt the King and his people and take away all fears and jealousies and settle a firme peace amongst us We should gladly with all humility have petitioned your Honourable House but still to this purpose And we Understand some Countries have done so which hath been displeasing unto them because contrary to their sense and we perhaps through ignorance might fall into the same error Yet we hope it will not be displeasing unto you that we give you our sense freely for you are us and we hope you will not be unwilling to follow our sense so far as you conceive it to be the sense of your County whose you are and for whom you serve And so we rest your very loving Friends and Countreymen JOhn Digby High Sheriffe Iohn Byron Richard Parkyns VVilliam Apleton Robert Pilson George Lascells Matthew Palmer Roger Cooper Isham Parkyns Io.
