SEVERALL PETITIONS Presented to the Honourable Houses of Parliament now Assembled The humble Petition of many thousands of Courtiers Citizens Gentlemen and Trades-mens wives inhabiting within the Cities of London and Westminster c. Humbly Sheweth THat your Petitioners their husbands their children and their families amounting to many thousand soules have lived in plentifull and good fashion by the exercise of severall Trades and venting of divers workes for learning whereof many of them have served Apprentiships others taken houses and shops both in the Citie and Suburbs and also in the Exchanges at very great rents all depending wholly for the sayle of their Commodities which is the maintenance and very existence and being of themselves their husbands and families upon the splendour and glory of the English Court and principally upon that of the Queens Majesty by occasion of whose Royall presence we have hitherto had ready utterance for our Commodities and were thereby enabled to pay our rents and live in good repute but upon late notice that her Majesty is resolved instantly to depart the Kingdome we cannot but thereby foresee an utter cessation and decay of all our trading so shal we become utterly disabled to pay our rents support our selves or our families and can apprehend nothing but distraction penury and ruine or that our eminent and inevitable necessities will produce some violent effect And your Petitioners have cause to feare that this sudden resolution in her Majesty is occasioned by some just distaste taken at divers unusual and tumultuous assemblies to the affright of her Royall Person and at the unpunisht printing of many licentious and scandalous Pamphelets some covertly some plainely wounding her sacred Majesty in the opinion of the vulgar as an Abbettor or Counsellor of such designes which are pretended to disturbe the peaceable government both of this Kidgdome and Ireland whereas your Petitioners are consident she was not onely a solicitous mediator for the assembling of this gracious Parliament but that since Her comming into this Kingdome she never did ill office to any particular Subject but hath oft beene an instrument of many Acts of mercy and grace to multitudes of distressed people And your Petitioners likewise considering the great happynesse brought to this Nation in her Princely Issue of which native comfort this Nation hath beene barren now almost a hundred yeares are the more encouraged Humbly to pray That this Honourable Assembly would give some speedy assurance to her Majesty that the Authors and Instigators of such seditious tumults and scandalls shall be strictly enquired after and punisht and that she may receive such publike vindication by Parliament against all such calumners of her sacred Majesty and give her that due honor and reverence we are sure she merits and joyne with us in Petition for her continuall residence amongst us whereby she receiving full assurance of the love and fidelity of her Subjects in this Kingdome your Petitioners may with some comfort redresse themselves to her Majesties compassion of her affectionate people humbly to pray her stay So shall they have cause to pray for your Honours prosperity in all your actions And ever remaine the true and faithfull Protestants to the Church of England till death To the Right HONOVRABLE THE LORDS Assembled in Parliament The humble Petition of the Gentry Ministry and Commonalty of Cleveland in the County of YORKE WHereas we know no other meanes under God to divert the just Judgements which he hath executed against the Church of the Laodiceans for the luke-warmenesse in Rebellion or against the Church of Thyatira for keeping Seducers nor to prevent our eminent dangers but by a most necessary and speedy executing of the Lawes of God and the King We doe therefore desire to certifie that we are resolved to live and dye in the Faith of the Protestant Religion knowing no other meanes of Salvation and that we will defend it with our Lives and Goods which that we may with our abilities be encouraged in performing We humbly above all things desire that wee may be secured a happy Reformation aforded and the Lawes of God and the King without favour or delay justly put in execution against Papists To the most Honourable and high Court of Parliament The humble Petition of the Gentlemen and other of the Inhabitants of the County of Cornuwall HAving seene and heard the many though scarce divers Petitions to this Honorable Assembly by the Inhabitants of divers Counties and Cities of this Land as also Corporations Companies and Trades some against Bishops some against the Common prayer and all against such judiciall and things super-elementary to the Region of their capacity of judging and matters onely belonging to the Judicature of this grave Synot which seemes either to distrust or direct or both your great wisedomes Wee therefore the Gentlemen and other the Inhabitants of Cornwall with as many hearts though not hands with as wany good wills though not persons not in imitation but rather by provocation and necessity in these times to show our good minded affections doe humbly prostrate the utmost of our service to your feet In which or rather after which we take leave humbly to beg That you will bee pleased to bend your auxiliary and good affections to the redresse of the distresse of the misertble Protestants in Ireland To gaine whose good prosperity peace and tranquility to perserve the Soveraignty of that Land to our Royall King and to maintaine his and this Kingdomes honour We shall willingly lay downe our lives and fortunes That you will bee pleased to continue your great respect dutifull love and true obedience to out Royall Soveraigne by maintaining his just and no way antelegall Prerogative That you will be pleased to put the Lawes in due execution against all Jesuites Seminaries Papists and Recusants That you will be pleased to looke upon the otherside and duely weighing the actions or rather factious of some whom most men call Citizens to scourge their irregular and disorderly schisme and hereticall Sects into tight paths of serving God to frequent his House and to pray as well as heare to allow order and obey conformity to reverence learning and bow to authority to be under a discipline and live in order That you will be pleased to maintaine and establish the ancient fundamentall and most venerable Lawes order and discipline both of our Church and Commonwealth to continue the revence'd Office and punish the offending persons of Bishops to have in high account and eternize as farre as in you lyes the Divine and excellent forme of Common prayer to correct braine forg'd doctrine by your examplary precepts strike a reverence of Gods House into every mans breast That you will be pleased to intimate to the people your honorable and wise intentions concerning Divine Service least while you hold your peace some rejecting it in part others altogether they vainly conceive you countenance them Lastly not to trouble your great affaires any longer That you will be pleased to take into your sage consideration those scandalous and ill affected Pamphlets which flye abroad in such swarmes as are able to cloud the pure ayre of truth and present a darke ignorance to those who have not the two wings of Justice and knowledge to fly above them Now to polish this our worke with a smooth demonstration of our modest intents that the tinctures which in introduction fell on the forementioned presents may slide without a staine from this Wee doe in all humility declare that neither distrust of your intentions nor opinion of any of our councels worthy your eares ever tainted our thoughts but that we have still beene and are confident that this most wise Synod hath ever thought fit resolv'd and will confirme into action what wee now humbly request therefore this our present not so much a Petition as a prayer of willing and thankefull hearts for the hop'd sequell is onely to shew our true intentions and good-will towards his gracious Majestie and this high Court as Instruments of the peace of our soules and bodies for which wee are unanimously and immutably resolv'd to spend our dearest blood Published by I.
