THE REMONSTRANCE OR DECLARATION Of Vs The Inhabitants of the County Palatine of Chester , whose Names are subscribed , and of many more .

WE most humbly declare and remonstrate , That we are , our lives , liberties , our selves , and whatsoever we can stile ours , ( next to Gods infinite mcrcies ) to the goodnesse of His Majestie , and to the great care and indefatigable pains of the Honourable Parliament ; To the one for discovering the variety of oppressions , that had almost over-whelmed us , and for preparing and advising apt remedies ; To the other , for craving their wholsome Councells with a blessed Fiat , wherein the joynt Acts of a good King and faithfull Councell , have so apparantly concurr'd to the generall good , that we cannot but look upon all such ( as unworthy of future happinesse ) who do admit for currant , that dangerous and disloyall distinction ; viz. For the King , or for the Parliament .

Our loyall affections and judgements will not permit us to stile them true Patriots , and lovers of their Countrie , that are not cordially affected to our Gracious Soveraign , nor them good Subjects , that disaffect Parliaments ; The King and Parliament being like Hipocrates twins , they must laugh and cry , live and die together , and both of them are so rooted in our hearts , that we cannot disjoyn them .

Wherefore we declare , That according to our Allegiance , and our solemn Protestation ( our voices being in Heaven ) we are resolved to spend our lives and fortunes , in the defence and service of both , in maintenance of His Majesties Royall Person , Honour and Prerogative , and in preservation of the Parliament , and just Priviledges thereof , of our true and undoubted Religion , Laws , Proprieties , and Liberties , which are deposited for our use and avail in that great and wise Councell , we being confident , that neither King , nor Subject , nor Religion , nor Liberty can comfortably survive the ruine and destruction of that great Body .

And we further professe our selves Enemies to all those ( whoever they be ) who shall be found Agents in making our wounds deeper , by festring and fomenting the unfortunate Mistakes , and fearfull Jealousies betwixt the head and body , His Majestie and His Parliament ; And which ( continuing at this distance ) doth threaten the fabrick of this blessed Government , with the losse of all His Majesties Kingdoms and Dominions .
