THE DECLARATION OF THE GENTRY , MINISTERS , FREE-HOLDERS Of the County and Citty of LINCOLNE .

WEE the GENTRY , MINISTERS , and FREE-HOLDERS of the County and Citty of Lincolne , being truly sensible of our Misseries and Greivances , namely the sad consequents of intestine WARRE , the feare of Invasion from abroad , at this time of our Distractions and Divisions both in Church and State , the violent alteration of GOVERNMENT , the heavy imposition of unheard of TAXES ; All which of late Yeares hath ruined our TRADE , and impoverished the whole Nation , and are all occasioned by reason of the many Violences and Breaches made upon our known established Lawes and Fundamentall Liberties , Doe therefore humbly propose and declare ( having first met and consulted , as other Countryes have done ) that the onely remedy for our said Greivances , will be for A Free Full PARLIAMENT , speedily to be called and assembled , to sit according to our said knowne established Lawes , wherein the Free Votes of all Free People of this Nation might be included , Since that such onely have a leagall Capacity to enact Lawes and Statutes that may equally bind all the free people of this Nation ; And therefore if any persons ( how ever impowered ) not having the authority of such a PARLIAMENT : shall take upon them to lay impositions upon the sree people of this Common-wealth , or to prescribe or enjoyne any Limitations , Restrictions or Quallifications whatsoever not formerly agreed upon in full PARLIAMENT . We do declare our selves not obleiged thereto , as being destructive to the freedome and undoubted priviledges of PARLIAMENT .
