Dated from their last generall meeti●g near York Novemb. 10. 1648. Subscribed by the Agents of the respective Regiments throughout the Northern Brigade A Declaration of the further proceedings in the North concerning King and Kingdom Sent in a Letter to the Right Honourable William Lenthall Esq Speaker of the Honourable House of Commons Mr. Speaker LIeutenant Generall Crumwell upon conference with us Gnetlemen of the four Northern Counties conceives it necessary that the standing Garison of Barwick be 1200 foot and the Garrison of Carlile 800 and that there be also two Regiments of horse consisting of 600 in a Regiment to be ready upon all occasions to resist oppose any Invasion that may happen by Sea or Land and to quell Insurrections that may rise amongst us to suppresse the Moss troopers they being now stronger then ever many of the enemies scattered horse being gathered to them we shall most readily and heartily endeavour to do the utmost these poor Counties are able but sir you know our intolerable sufferings not onely this last Summer but from the beginning of these Kingdoms troubles our Petition doth a little set forth the sad condition that wee are now in wee therefore most earnestly intreat you to move the House that these forces both of horse and foot may be maintained by the whole Kingdom not only in respect of our ex●ream poverty disabilities but because they are the frontier Garisons between the 2. Kingdoms and have ever been maintained by the publike we press this the more earnestly knowing the necessity of a speedy provision and the impossibility for these Counties to provide for such a force and to what generall way the House please to appoint who shall willingly and freely contribute our proportion and labour both in that and all other things to shew our selves Sir Your faithfull Servant c. A new Remonstrance from the North concerning the King and the Royall party read in both Houses of Parliament WHereas we had formerly some hopes that lenity towards those who had been in Arms otherwise active against the Parl. would so far have prevailed with them that we might have peaceably enjoyed our own habitations but we have lately found by wofull experience that the permitting such persons especially those of interest in the Country to live amongst us hath brought most unsufferable misery upon these Countries Insomuch as we may justly fear the perishing of many F●milies this Win or for want of bread Gentlemen of quality and their Families having no other drink but water and as an exceeding addition to our former sorrows suffered this Summer by imprisoning our pe sons dispeopling our Towns compelling all able to bear Arms betwixt the age of 60. and 16. to assist against the Parl. and by destroying our corn and goods and killing our Neighbours and Countrimen and driving away our Cattle And also by bringing into the Kingdom a forreign Nation and by treacherously surprizing and most basely delivering into the Scots hands the two considerable Towns of Barwick and Cartile by further aiding and assisting of them towards the subduing and enslaving of our Kingdom that many of the actors contrivers and assisters in that horrible and traiterous Design not only against our Countries but the Parl. and Kingdom are after all their Summers abominable treason and outrages now returned with much confidence and boldnesse to their own houses intending to hatch as we have cause to believe now plots this Winter amongst us The premisses considered we pray that justice may be speedily executed on such impl●cable enemies and declared Traitors to the Parliament Kingdom their Countries and to that end a Commission of Oyre and Terminer with learned and faithfull Judges may be forthwith sent down into these Northern parts or such o h●r legall Course resolved on as to your wisdome shal seeme best for their speedy trials in these Northern Counties where they have committed the offences and that a Solicitor may be forthwith sent down into these parts that such as are fled out of the Kingdom or gone yond Sea may be proceeded against according to Law we know no other way under God to prevent a new war for many Delinquents late in Arms are not only returned to their own houses but meet and have already their private consultations pretending Articles for their peaceable living at home and are thereupon so insolent that they ride armed to publike places and do not stick to say that they yet expect a turn for all this and we find by experience that unlesse the House do severely proceed against such notorious Delinquents many of the people in these parts will adhere to them and justifie their actions and be ready to rise up in Arms with them upon all occasions We presse more earnestly the granting of this knowing that the peace and quiet of the North if not of the whole Kingdom depends upon it His Majesties Remonstrance to the Parliament FOr a finall answer to you as to you paper of the first of this instant and the notes therein mentioned concerning the Church His Majesty saith that his Concessions expresseth in that paper and mis-apprehended in these particulars following viz. He never did nor doth intend to make any more new Bishops during the terme of 3. years that the power of Ordination should be practised in the old manner as formerly for that heretofore the Bishops were at liberty to call what Presbyters they would to assist ordaining but were not bound to their Councell or consent but his Maj●sty doth now intend and will consent that Bishops shall not receive any into holy orders without the consent and limited number of Presbyters to be chosen i● such manner as shall be agreed on by his M●j his 2 Houses for that purpose Neither did his Maj. intend that a●●e the end of 3. years n●● certain way should be setled concerning Eccl si●sticall Governm●nt for that his Maj. did purpose du●ing the 3. years to have a consultation with the Assembly of Divines 20. being added of his own nomination which if his 2. Houses shall resolve to entertain i● cannot well be doubted but upon the debate such a Government will be agreed upon by his Maj. and his 2. Houses as shall be best for the pe●ce of the Church and most proper to prevent those distractions which his 2. Houses apprehend may ensue And as to that part of the proposition concerning the Book of Common-Prayer for the satisfaction of his 2. Houses his Maj. will not insist upon any provision for continuance of the same in his Maj. Chappell for himself and his Houshold neverthelesse his Maj. declares that he intends to use some other set form of Divine Service And as to all other particulars in your paper mentioned his Maj. having in his former Answers consented so far as possibly he can as he stands at present perswaded in his judgment doth refer himself thereunto And since his Maj. by his Concessions hath brought all differences concerning the Church into so narrow a compasse that the chief visible obstruction is that wherein really in conscience he is not satisfied He hopes his 2. Houses will not put further pressures of so tender a nature upon him when it is most likely the time and Debate will happily reconcile all these differences Dated from his Majesties Court at Newport the 12. of November 1648.
