A REMONSTRANCE Shewing the occasion of the ARMING of the County of KENT .

BEing reduced to this Choice , whether to deliver up our Lives and Li●erties together , or to dye free ; We are resolved to act the last Scene of this Tragedy with our Swords in our hands . Which we shall sooner turne upon our owne hearts , then upon the Publique Peace . By what necessities exasperated to this Resolve , let the World determine . And understand that a Petition consonant to Religion and Honour ( if the Parliament may be judge ) is by some persons , neither warranted by any Authority from the two Houses , nor pretending to it ; upon their owne score , audaciously affronted . The Petitioners menaced and persecuted into this extremity , by spirits so implacably distempered , that Sir Anthony Weldon vowed he would not crosse the Street of Rochester to save one soule that subscribed the Petition . And it was a Proposition of Baals , to hang two of the Petitioners in every Parish . If this be not enough to admonish others , let it suffice that it awakens us , into a just sence and scorne of these Indignities . We have lost all with Patience , and if at last , it be accounted a Crime to begge , we shall preferre to perish .

WEE doe solemnly and Religiously oblige our selves , with our Lives and Fortunes , to oppose effectually ▪ what Person or Persons soever shall presume to interrupt us in the just and Legall presentment of our humble desires to the two Houses of Parliament ; and to the utmost of our endeavours to save harmelesse , and protect each the other in a priviledge so undoubtedly our owne , and so not onely adjudged , but practized and encouraged by this present Parliament . And further , in Case any single person shall be for this Engagement prosecuted , All of us to rise as one Man to the rescue . This , so helpe us God , as we shall respectively performe and resolutely .
