WE have with great contentment considered your dutifull and affectionate Answer to our Proposition concerning the unsufferable affront which we received at Hull ; Wee have not beene deceived in that confidence we had in your affection , wherefore we desire you to assure the rest of your Countrymen , who through negligence were omitted to be summoned : that Wee shall never abuse your love by any power where with God shall enable us to the least violation of the least of your Liberties , or the diminution of those Immunities which We have granted you this Parliament , though they be beyond the Acts of most ( if not all ) Our Predecessours ; being resolved with a constant and firme resolution to have the Law of this Land duely observed , and shall endeavour only so to preserve Our just Royall Rights , as may enable us to protect our Kingdome and people , according to the ancient Honours of the Kings of England , and according to the trust which by the law of God and this land is put into the Crowne , being sufficiently warned by the late affront at Hull , not to transferre the same out of our power , concerning which Affront we will take sometime to Advise , which way we may usefully imploy your affections , In the mean time we shall take it well from all such as shall personally attend us , so followed and provided , as they shall think fit for the better safety of our person , because we know not what suddain violence , or affront may be offered unto us , having lately received such an actuall testimonie of rebellious intentions as Sir Iohn Hotham hath expressed at Hull : Being thus secured by your affections and assistance , we promise you our protection against : any contrary power whatsoever , And that you shall not be molested for your humble and modest Petition , as of late you have been threatned .

Given at Our Court at York , May the 16 , 1642.

Printed at London by A. N. for Humphrey Tuckey . 1642
