HIS
MAIESTIES
ANSWER
TO
the
Petition
,
concerning
the
disbanding
of
His
Guard
:
Presented
to
His
Majestie
at
YORK
,
the
23.
of
May
,
1642.
WE
cannot
but
extreamly
wonder
,
that
the
causlesse
jealousies
concerning
Us
,
raised
and
fomented
by
a
malignant
Party
in
this
Kingdom
,
which
desires
nothing
more
then
to
snatch
themselves
particular
advantages
out
of
a
generall
combustion
(
which
means
of
advantage
shall
never
be
ministred
to
them
by
Our
fault
or
seeking
)
should
not
onely
be
able
to
seduce
a
weak
party
in
this
Our
Kingdom
,
but
seem
to
find
so
much
countenance
even
from
both
Houses
,
as
that
Our
raising
of
a
Guard
(
without
further
designe
,
then
for
the
safety
of
Our
Person
;
an
action
so
legall
in
manner
,
so
peaceable
upon
causes
so
evident
and
necessarie
)
should
not
onely
be
looked
upon
,
and
petitioned
against
by
them
,
as
a
causlesse
jealousie
,
but
declared
to
be
the
raising
of
a
war
against
them
,
contrary
to
Our
forme
Professions
of
Our
care
of
Religion
and
Law
.
And
we
no
lesse
wonder
,
that
this
Action
of
Ours
should
be
said
(
in
a
very
large
expression
)
to
be
apprehended
by
the
Inhabitants
of
this
Countrey
,
as
an
affrightment
and
disturbance
to
Our
People
;
having
been
as
well
received
here
,
as
it
is
every
where
to
be
justified
;
and
(
We
speak
now
of
the
generall
,
not
of
a
few
seduced
particulars
)
as●●sted
and
sped
by
this
Countrey
,
with
that
loyall
affection
and
alacrity
,
as
is
a
most
excellent
example
set
to
the
rest
of
the
Kingdom
,
of
care
of
Our
safety
upon
all
occasions
,
and
shall
never
be
forgotten
by
Us
,
nor
we
hope
,
by
Our
Posterity
;
but
shall
be
ever
payed
to
them
in
that
which
is
the
proper
expression
of
a
Princes
gratitude
,
A
perpetuall
vigilant
care
to
govern
them
justly
,
and
to
preserve
the
onely
Rule
by
which
they
can
be
governed
,
The
Law
of
the
Land
.
And
we
are
confident
,
That
if
you
were
your selves
Eye-witnesses
,
you
would
see
so
the
contrary
,
as
to
give
little
present
thanks
,
and
hereafter
little
credit
to
your
Informers
:
And
if
you
have
no
better
intelligence
of
the
inclinations
and
affections
of
the
rest
of
the
Kingdom
,
certainly
the
minds
of
Our
People
(
which
to
some
ends
and
purposes
you
represent
)
are
but
ill
represented
unto
you
.
Have
you
so
many
moneths
together
not
contented
your selves
to
rely
for
securitie
(
as
your
Predecessors
have
done
)
upon
the
affection
of
the
people
,
but
by
your
own
single
authority
raised
to
your selves
a
Guard
,
(
and
that
sometimes
of
no
ordinary
numbers
,
and
in
no
ordinary
way
)
And
could
not
all
those
Pikes
and
Protestations
,
that
Army
on
one
side
,
and
that
Navie
on
the
other
,
perswade
Us
to
command
you
to
disband
your
Forces
,
and
to
content
your selves
with
your
ordinarie
(
that
is
,
with
no
)
guard
,
or
work
us
in
an
opinion
,
that
you
appeared
to
leavy
war
against
Us
,
or
had
any
further
designe
:
And
is
it
possible
that
the
same
Persons
should
be
so
apt
to
suspect
and
condemne
Us
who
have
been
so
unapt
in
the
same
matter
,
(
upon
much
more
ground
)
to
tax
or
suspect
them
?
This
is
Our
case
,
notwithstanding
the
care
and
fidelity
of
Our
Parliament
,
Our
Fort
is
kept
by
armed
men
against
Us
,
Our
proper
goods
,
first
detained
from
Us
,
and
then
,
contrary
to
Our
Command
,
by
strong
hand
,
offered
to
be
carried
away
(
in
which
at
once
all
Our
property
,
as
a
private
Person
,
all
Our
Authority
as
a
King
,
are
wrested
from
Us
;
)
and
yet
for
Us
to
secure
Our selves
in
a
legall
way
(
that
Sir
John
Hotham
may
not
by
the
same
Forces
,
or
by
more
raised
,
by
pretence
of
the
same
Authority
(
for
they
say
he
raiseth
daily
some
,
and
know
it
no
new
thing
for
him
to
pretend
Orders
that
he
cannot
shew
)
continue
the
war
that
he
hath
leavied
against
Us
,
and
as
well
imprison
Our
Person
,
as
detain
Our
Goods
,
and
as
well
shut
Us
up
in
York
,
as
shut
Us
out
of
Hull
.
)
is
said
to
be
esteemed
a
cause
of
great
jealousie
to
the
Parliament
,
a
raising
War
against
them
,
and
of
danger
to
●e
whole
Kingdom
.
While
these
Injustices
and
Indignities
offered
to
Us
are
count●nanced
by
them
who
ought
to
be
most
forward
in
our
vindication
and
their
punishment
,
in
observation
of
their
Oathes
,
and
of
the
trust
reposed
in
them
by
the
people
,
and
to
avoid
the
dissolution
of
the
present
Government
:
Upon
which
case
the
whole
world
is
to
iudge
,
whether
We
had
not
reason
,
not
wholly
to
relie
upon
the
care
and
fidelity
of
Our
Parliament
(
being
so
strangely
blinded
by
malignant
spirits
,
as
not
to
perceive
Our
injuries
)
but
to
take
some
care
of
Our
owne
Person
,
and
in
order
to
that
,
to
make
use
of
that
Authority
which
the
Lawes
declare
to
be
in
vs
:
And
whether
this
Parliament
,
with
such
a
threatning
conclusion
,
accompained
with
more
threatning
Votes
,
gives
vs
not
cause
rather
to
encrease
then
to
dimin●sh
O●
guard
,
especially
since
We
saw
before
the
Petition
a
printed
paper
,
dated
the
17.
of
May
,
under
written
Hen
.
Elsing
.
Cler
.
D
Com
.
commanding
(
in
the
name
of
both
Lords
and
Commons
)
the
Sheriffs
of
all
Our
Counties
,
to
suppresse
such
of
Our
subjects
,
as
by
any
of
Our
Commands
shall
bee
drawne
together
,
and
(
〈◇〉
at
paper
calls
it
)
in
a
posture
of
War
,
charging
Our
Officers
and
Subjects
to
ass●●●●em
in
the
performance
thereof
,
at
their
perils
:
For
though
We
cannot
suspec●
that
this
paper
(
or
any
bare
votes
,
not
grounded
upon
Law
or
Reason
,
or
qu●●t●ion
of
repealed
Statutes
)
should
have
any
ill
influence
upon
Our
good
people
,
who
know
their
duties
too
well
,
not
to
know
,
that
to
take
up
armes
against
those
,
who
●●on
a
legall
Command
(
that
is
Ours
)
come
together
to
a
most
legall
end
(
that
is
,
Our
security
and
preseruation
)
were
to
leavy
war
against
Us
,
and
who
appeare
in
this
County
(
no
lesse
satisfied
with
the
legality
,
convenience
and
necessity
of
these
Our
Guards
,
and
no
lesse
sensible
of
the
indignities
and
dangers
(
which
makes
it
necessary
)
then
We
are
Our selves
:
Yet
if
that
Paper
be
really
the
Act
of
both
Houses
,
We
cannot
look
upon
it
,
but
as
the
highest
of
scornes
and
indignities
,
first
,
to
issue
commands
of
force
againg
Us
,
and
after
those
have
appeared
uselesse
to
offer
by
petition
,
to
perswade
Us
to
that
which
that
force
should
have
effected
.
We
conclude
this
Answer
to
your
Petition
,
with
Our
counsell
to
you
,
That
you
joyne
with
Us
in
exacting
satisfaction
for
that
unparalleled
,
and
yet
unpunished
action
of
Sir
Iohn
Hothams
;
and
that
you
command
.
Our
Fort
and
Goods
to
bee
returned
to
Our
owne
hands
,
that
you
lay
downe
all
pretences
(
under
pretence
o●
necessity
,
or
declaring
that
is
Law
)
to
make
Laws
without
vs
,
and
(
by
consequence
)
put
a
cypher
of
vs
;
that
you
declare
effectually
against
Tumults
,
and
call
in
such
Pamphlet●
,
(
punishing
the
authors
and
publishers
of
them
)
as
seditiously
endeavour
to
disable
vs
from
protecting
Our
people
,
by
weakning
(
by
false
Aspersions
,
and
new
false
Doctrines
)
Our
Authority
with
them
,
and
their
confidence
in
Vs.
The
particulars
of
which
Tumults
and
Pamphlets
Wee
would
long
since
have
taken
care
,
that
Our
learned
Councell
should
have
been
enabled
to
give
in
evidence
,
if
,
upon
Our
former
offer
We
had
received
any
returne
of
encouragement
from
you
in
it
.
And
if
you
do
this
,
you
then
(
and
hardly
till
then
)
will
perswade
the
world
,
that
you
have
discharged
your
duty
to
God
,
the
trust
reposed
in
you
by
the
people
,
and
the
fundamentall
Lawes
and
Constitutions
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
employed
your
care
and
utmost
power
to
secure
the
Parliament
,
(
for
We
are
still
a
part
of
the
Parliament
,
and
shall
be
till
this
wel-founded
Monarchy
be
turned
to
a
Democra●●
and
to
preserve
the
peace
and
quiet
of
the
Kingdom
;
Which
,
together
with
the
defence
of
the
Protestant
profession
,
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
and
Our
own
just
Prorogative
(
as
a
part
of
,
and
a
defence
to
those
Lawes
)
have
been
the
maine
end
,
which
in
Our
Consultations
and
Actions
,
We
proposed
to
Our Selfe
.
¶
A
Proclamation
by
the
King
.
WHereas
by
the
Statute
made
in
the
seventh
Yeer
of
King
Edward
the
first
,
The
Prelates
Earls
,
Barons
,
and
Commonalty
of
the
Realm
affirmed
in
Parliament
,
That
to
the
King
it
belongeth
,
and
His
part
it
is
by
his
Royall
Seigniority
,
straitly
to
def●nd
wearing
of
Armour
,
and
all
other
Force
against
the
Peace
,
at
all
times
when
it
shall
please
Him
,
and
to
punish
them
which
shall
do
contrary
,
according
to
the
Laws
and
Vsages
of
the
Realme
;
and
hereunto
all
subiects
are
bound
to
aid
the
K●●g
as
their
Soveraign
Lord
at
all
seasons
,
when
need
shall
be
.
And
whereas
We
understand
,
that
expresly
contrary
to
the
said
statute
,
and
other
good
Laws
of
this
Our
Kingdom
under
colour
and
pretence
of
an
Ordinance
of

from

The

been
lately
,
and
are
intended
to
be
put
in
Ar●●
,
and
drawn
into
companies
in
a
war-like
manner
,
whereby
the
Peace
and
Quiet
of
Our
subjects
is
,
or
may
be
disturbed
:
We
being
desirous
by
all
gracious
and
fair
Admonitions
to
prevent
,
That
some
malignant
Persons
in
this
Our
Kingdom●
do
not
by
degrees
seduce
Our
good
Subjects
from
their
due
obedience
to
Us
,
and
the
Laws
of
this
Our

,
subtilly
endeavouring
by
a
generall
Combustion
or
Confusion
,
to
hide
their
mischievous
Designes
and
intentions
against
the
Peace
of
this
Our
Kingdom
,
and
under
a
specious
pretence
of
putting
Our
Trained
Bands
into
a
Posture
,
draw
and
engage
Our
good
subjects
in
a
warlike
Opposition
against
Us
,
as
Our
Town
of
Hull
is
already
,
by
the
Treason
of
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
,
who
at
first
pretended
to
put
a
Garrison
into
the
same
,
onely
for
Our
Security
and
Service
.
We
do
therefore
by
this
our
