TO THE ●IGHT HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF PEERES NOW ASSEMBLED IN PARLIAMENT . The humble Petition of the YOUNG-MEN , APPRENTICES , and SEA-MEN , in and about the Citie of LONDON . 〈◊〉 humble submission Sheweth ,

THAT your Petitioners have lyen a long time ( as is well knowne ) under unsupportable pressures , for the redresse of which , many Petittions have been exhibited , yet to this day hath not been obtained that reliefe which our necessities required , and our hopes did promise , but our miseries doe daily increase and grow upon us , Trading is extraordinarily decayed , and feares greatly multiplied , by reason of that desperate height of malice and power to which the Rebells in Ireland have attained , and which they goe on still to perfect , by those new supplies of ayd and strength they do receive , and by reason of the exposednesse of this Kingdom , unto dangers , foraigne and intestine , for want of a present Posture of defence , both which ●●en ruine unto this Kingdome .

WHEREFORE your Petitioners are constrained humbly to supplicate , that our poore distressed Brethren in Ireland ( according to His Majesties command , and the Commons earnest desire ) may be forthwith powerfully ayded to suppresse that abominable Rebellion of the bloody Papists , ; That the Kingdome at home may be speedily put into such a posture of Warre and defence , as may enable them against all forreigne Invasion , and domestique plots and conspiracies of Papists , and their adherents : That the hindrances there-thereof , whether persons or causes , may be declared , In asmuch as your Petitioners cannot but conceive , that such persons are either factors for , or actors of the rebellious rout in Ireland , or of some forreigne power , intending ruine to his Majesties Kingdome : And such causes as are alledged , can be but fained pretences ; And that the heavy pressures lying upon us , and growing insupportable , by the delay of reliefe , may be timely removed ; Your Petitioners greatly fearing , that if present remedy be not afforded from the hands of this honourable Parliament ( as from wise Physitians ) multitudes will be ready to take hold upon that remedy which is next at hand : Oppression ( as Solomon saith ) making wise men mad .

And your Petitioners shall ever pray , &c.

〈◊〉 Petition was delivered the 26. of January , 1641. ( by three Freemen , five Apprentices , and five Sea-men , ( being chosen by 〈◊〉 rest for that purpose ) and was thankfully received and read .
