At
the
Court
at
York
.
28.
Martii
.
1642.
His
Majestie
hath
given
me
expresse
Command
to
give
you
this
His
Answer
to
your
Petition
.
THat
this
Petition
(
as
some
others
of
this
nature
)
is
grounded
upon
mis-information
,
and
(
being
grieved
and
highly
offended
to
see
how
His
good
People
have
been
,
and
are
abused
by
false
Rumors
and
Intelligences
,
which
have
procured
causlesse
Fears
and
Apprehensions
)
refers
the
Petitioners
to
the
two
Answers
He
hath
given
to
His
Parliament
,
viz.
To
the
Declaration
presented
to
Him
at
New-Market
,
and
to
the
Petition
presented
to
Him
the
six
and
twentieth
of
this
moneth
at
York
:
wherein
you
will
cleerly
perceive
,
That
His
Maiestie
is
not
gone
,
but
driven
away
from
His
Parliament
,
and
therefore
His
Maiestie
hath
reason
to
think
,
that
now
(
understanding
the
love
He
bears
to
,
and
Confidence
He
hath
of
His
Peoples
Fidelity
;
As
likewise
His
constant
Resolution
for
the
maintaining
of
,
and
governing
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
)
you
may
finde
reason
to
petition
the
Parliament
to
comply
with
His
Maiesties
iust
Desires
,
and
gracious
Offers
,
this
being
the
onely
Way
,
safely
and
speedily
to
cure
the
present
Distractions
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
(
with
Gods
blessing
)
to
put
a
happy
end
to
the
Irish
Rebellion
for
the
effecting
whereof
(
as
His
Maiestie
hath
often
said
)
He
will
neither
spare
pains
,
nor
decline
any
hazard
of
His
Person
or
Fortune
.
