Parliament●r Printed for Ioseph Hunscott and Iohn Wright 1642. TO THE KINGS most Excellent MAIESTY The Humble Petition of the Gentry Ministers Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the County of Yorke SHEWETH THat this particular County most affectionate to your Majesties service hath welnigh for three yeares last past beene the stage whereon the tragicall miseries which necessarily accompany and associate Warre and Armies have been represented and acted whereby the generall wealth and plenty of this County is exhausted and brought very low which weight of miseries are sensibly become much more heavy by reason of your Majesties distance in residence and difference in Councels from your great Councell the Parliament begetting great distempers and distractions throughout the Kingdome and have especially amongst us produced factions and divisions drawing to these parts great nūbers of discontented persons that may too justly be feared doe affect the publike ruine for their private advantage All which evils are daily fomented grown more formidable by your Majesties drawing together as we conceive not according to law many Companies of the Trained Band and others both horse and foot of this County and retaining multitudes of Commanders and Cavaleetes from other parts and by the daily resort of the Recusants and persons disaffected in Religion to your Majesties Court at Yorke and by the great preparations of Armes and other warlike provisions which begets in us feares of wars to the great terror and amazement of us your Majesties peaceable subjects and the great decay of all commerce and industrious courses for the wealth and prosperity of the Country specially of clothing which is the maine subsistance of this County and is since your Maiesties residence with us and the following distractions thereupon suddenly obstructed insomuch that many thousand families who are of and have their livelihood by the Trade of Cloathing are at the point of utter undoing which inevitably will prove to be of dangerous consequence and will be the inlet to our approaching and unavoydable ruine unlesse your Maiestie 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 wholy withdraw themselves from their former commerce and dealing and others both Merchants and Chapmen doe now generally refuse to make payments for goods long since sould and delivered alledging that others refuse to pay them for any commoditie formerly sould till the feares and distractions of the La … 〈◊〉 settled which if not suddenly prevented will forthwith overturne 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 us if we importune your Majesty more then others since we have endured and are in hazard more then any and that from these apprehensions we may offer to your Majesty our earnest Petitions for redresse and prevention of these evills daily threatning danger to your Majesty and destruction to us which we conceive is impossible any other way to be effected then by your Majesties entertaining a right understanding betwixt your self Parliament and affording your gracious eare and consent to such Councells and propositions as shall be tendred 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 Counsells whatsoever and uniting your confidence to your Parliament And that your Majesty would in no way thinke fit to put us upon that rocke of dividing the duty we owe to your Majesty your Parliament and the whole Kingdome to which we are so deeply ingaged by our Protestation which your Majesty to our knowledge never dissented from not declared against and that whilst your Majesty expects our p●●●●rmance in one part thereof we may not being equally engaged impeach at all or in the least degree goe lesse then our duty in the other which we stand resolved of by no meanes either of feare or favour to be drawne to doe And that your Majesty would take into consideration that your Parliament being the supreame Iudicatorie of your Kingdome the very essence thereof must of very necessity be destroyed if their Counsells and determinatious be subjected to alteration or reversall by the Counsells or opinions of any private persons how learned or judicious soever seeingyour Majesty hath most graciously passed an Act that this Parliament shall not be dissolved nor adjourned without consent of your Majesty and both Houses Wee doe 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 returne to the High Court of Parliament whereby it may be evident to the world that your Majesty intends not to decline the Law so inacted and that since your Majesty hath graciously declared your confidence in the affections of this Countie your Majesty would not thinke it fit an extraordinary Guard should be raised thereout and the Cavaliers and others of that quality still continued about your Majesty is men most usefull and as if kept for some designe they not having for ought we know either intrest in or affections to the publike good their language and behaviour speaking nothing but division and war 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 doe most humbly supplicate that none either Cavalieers 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 wee humbly conceiving it neither iust 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 most heartily pray that the God of Heaven in whose hands are the hearts of Kings would this day incline your Majesties heart seriously to consider these present and imminent miseries that this your Kingdome lyes under in the peace whereof visibly under God consists the preservation of
