THat whereas we are informed , that a Petition , together with a Remonstrance , hath in the Name of this County , beene heretofore presented to this Honourable House , for the abolishing of Episcopacie , and other alterations in Church-Government .

And with the like humility , doe desire That the long established Government of the Church may still continue , and that the abuses and errors of some particular persons , may not cause the alteration of the ancient Government ; but rather , that such persons should suffer according to their Demerits . And we likewise humbly crave , the Booke of Common-Prayer , by Law established , may continue in force , with such alteration ( if there be cause ) as to your Honours Wisdomes shall seeme meet .

And as in Duty bound , We shall dayly pray , &c. Subscribed by one Vicount , five Knights , above a hundred Gentlemen of qualitie , all the Clergy of the County , and above a thousand Commoners , being all of them Communicants .
