LONDON : Printed by ROBERT BARKER , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL . 1642.

To the Kings most Excellent Majestie , The humble Petition of the Gentry and Inhabitants of Holdernes .

WE your Majesties most loyall and oppressed Subjects , having for the space of four Moneths ( with much patience and prejudice ) endured great and insupportable Losse by Sir Iohn Hothams taking into Hull ( a distinct Countie from us ) part of the Trained Bands of Yorkshire , contrary to Law , your Sacred Majesties right , and expresse Command , by detaining our Arms , destroying our Trade and Markets , with many more Pressures upon us , then we are willing to repeat . Howbeit this last attempt of cutting our Banks , Drowning part , and indangering the rest of the Levell of Holdernes , is a Presumption higher then was ever yet attempted by any Subject to our knowledges ; As if Sir Iohn Hotham at once intended to destroy our Free-holds and Proprieties ; And for no other Cause , as we conceive , but for serving your Majestie , according to our Allegiance and the known Laws of the Land .

Our most humble Prayer therefore is , That Your Majestie will vouchsafe speedily to take the premisses into your gracious and tender consideration for securing our Fears .

And your Majesties Petitioners , as in duty bound , shall ever pray for your happy and glorious Reign over us , &c. Subscribed by Rob . Hilliard , Christopher Holme , Matthew Wentworth , Francis Cobb , Leonard Robinson , James Cane , Christopher Hilliard , Gilbert Gower , and neer three hundred others , and delivered to His Majestie at Beverley , the sixth of July , 1642.

At the Court at York , the sixth of July , 1642. His Majestie hath commanded me to give this Answer to this Petition .

THat He with just Commiseration and all possible Compassion considers the miserable condition of the Petitioners , And will both by publishing His Proclamations , and by drawing such Forces together as He shall be able to leavie , endeavour the Petitioners Relief in their present sufferings , and prevention of their future , with any hazard that may befall His own Person . In the mean time His Majestie hopes all His good Subjects do plainly discern , how impossible it is for their Interests to be preserved , when His just Rights and Power are taken from Him .
