THE REMONSTRANCE OF THE Knights , Gentlemen , and Freeholders of the County of GLOUCESTER .

WE doe claim and avow it to be our undoubted Birthright and Liberty , That no new Laws , much lesse any new Government , can , or ought to be imposed upon us ; nor any Taxes , Contributions , or Free-quarter taken of us without the Consent of the People of this Nation in a Free-Parliament Assembled ; which Liberties have been often confirmed to us by the Great Charter , the Petition of Right , and many other Statutes ; and Parliaments being the only Bulwark and defence of our Liberties , as men and Christians ought to be , freely elected and to sit and vote without interruption or opposition by any persons whatsoever : The Priviledges whereof we are all bound to maintain and defend , and to assist and maintain each other in the defence thereof . And therefore we resolve , according to our bounden duty , to joyn with the Lord Mayor and Common-Councell of the City of LONDON , and all other Counties in ENGLAND in pursuance thereof . And we doe not doubt but all true-hearted Englishmen who love their own Liberties , and are not willing to be made Slaves , or to inslave their Brethren , will joyn with us herein .
