some of them have hitherto by Gods providence and your prudence been discovered and become abortive Yet the sad effects of other of them are not only felt and much more feared in this Realme of England but also have of late broken out into open Rebellion in Ireland where most barbarous savage cruell and inhumane actions are practised towards our Brethren by Nation and Religion whose lamentable and deplored condtion the Petitioners much pitty and lament and have just cause to feare that as already there hath been much Christian blood spilt so in short times if speedy helpe be not sent not only the many great Debts there owing to divers of the Petitioners and others of this Kingdome will be wholly lost but which is farre more the very name of the English and Protestant Religion there will be rooted out which those Rebells the Foundation of whose Religion is written in letters of blood do only oppose And for that divers of the Petitioners receive daily information from all parts of this Kingdome of the bold insolent carriage and threat●●ing speeches of the Papists in this Realm arising as the Petitioners humbly conceive not only from the prevailing of the Rebels in Ireland ●ut also from the want of such secure and speedy course against Papists here as the present condition of this Kingdome requireth and this honourable Assembly hath earnestly endeavoured From which grounds the Petitioners cannot omit to represent unto you the great terrors feares and distraction that they lie under of a ●●ddaine surprize by their bloody hands By meanes whereof the Trading of this City and Kingdome is much more of late decayed then it ●ath been for divers years past no man following his Trade cheerfully while the lives of himself and Family and the publique safety of the ●ingdome are in danger and while he knoweth not how soon they may feele the like cruelty and inhumanity from the Papists and their ad●erents as these in Ireland have done which if ever it shall happen this honourable Assembly must expect to have a deep share in their malice ●nd cruelty against whom they have already by themselves and their Abbettors endeavoured to raise a disrespect in the hearts of the people to ●●vide between the King Majesty and his Parliament and seditiously to misconstrue the Citizens dutifull and loyall entertainment of his Ma●●sty to be a differting of this honourable Assembly the least thought whereof the Petitioners doe utterly detest and abhorre To the end therefore that the destructive plots of the Papists and their adherents may be defeated the grounds of their hopes and insolencies removed confidence Forces with all expedition sent subdue those abhominable and bloody Rebels in Ireland This City Kingdome for prevention of the like mischiefes here and securing the peace thereof put into a posture of defence the Petitioners freed from their feares encouraged in their Trades and in due time receive such just Answeres to their former Petitioners as shall seem best to your great wisdomes It is humbly prayed that you will vouchsafe to be a meanes to the Kings Majesty and the House of Peeres that life may be speedily given to your good endeavours by ●heir concurrence with you in the punishing of Delinquents and redressing the pressures and grievances in Church and Common-wealth amongst which the abuses crept into the ancient government of this City they humbly desire may in due time be taken into consideration And for the better effecting hereof that the Popish Lords and Bishops may be removed out of the House of Peeres as was desire in the presence of divers of this honourable Assembly by the representative body of this City in this Guild-hall when 50000 li. was freely lent to raise Forces for Ireland the greatest part whereof was speedily brought in by the Petitioners And the Petitioners who well know their own safeties are wrapt up in yours shall not faile to put up daily Prayers to Almighty God for your good successe and to maintaine and defend to the utmost hazard of their lives and estates according to their late Protestation the Kings Majesty and high Court of Parliament against all wicked Counsellors
