LORDS
AND
COMMONS

PARLIAMENT

TO
THE
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
,
Concerning
The
great
disturbances
in
York-shire
,
with
the
humble
Propositions
and
Desires
of
the
Gentry
,
Free-holders
,
and
inhabitants
of
the
County
of
York-shire
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
THE
providence
of
the
Almighty
hath
been
most
miraculously
and
wonderfully
in
his
manifold
and
mercifull
deliverances
of
this
Land
from
eminent
and
desperate
dangers
,
which
did
immediatly
threaten
the
overthrow
of
this
whole
Nation
:
For
which
wee
cannot
but
with
humble
and
thankfull
hearts
and
mindes
acknowledge
his
infinite
goodnesse
for
these
worthy
members
of
the
Parliament
,
which
hee
hath
been
pleased
to
affoord
us
for
our
preservation
,
&
to
deliver
us
from
the
danger
that
was
hanging
over
us
:
for
wee
cannot
but
acknowledge
,
that
from
their
vigilant
care
did
issue
our
safety
;
and
that
their
labours
were
onely
undertaken
to
preserve
the
peace
and
quiet
of
this
kingdome
,
against
the
assault
of
the
malignant
party
,
whose
cruell
desires
were
ambitious
to
unsettle
and
breake
the
publicke
peace
and
welfare
of
this
Kingdome
by
their
most
malitious
and
pernitious
counsels
unto
his
sacred
Majesty
:
But
thankes
bee
to
God
,
against
the
endevours
of
these
prey-thirsty
workers
,
hitherto
the
faithfull
endevours
of
the
House
have
been
secured
,
and
in
despite
of
all
contradiction
of
their
envious
oppositions
,
yet
remaines
unshaken
.
Their
fidelity
and
faith
unto
this
Land
is
still
safe
;
and
without
question
,
with
the
assistance
of
Almighty
God
,
will
nor
desist
,
untill
it
hath
brought
all
their
desires
to
a
most
happy
perfection
.
But
because
I
will
not
trespasse
too
farre
upon
the
Readers
patience
,
I
will
relate
and
describe
the
resolution
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
unto
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
,
in
these
particulars
following
.
The
honourable
Court
of
Parliament
having
lately
received
a
Petition
from
a
great
number
of
the
Gentry
and
Freeholders
of
the
County
of
Yorke
,
assembled
together
by
his
Majesties
speciall
command
,
wherein
was
declared
,
that
having
taken
a
resolution
to
addresse
themselves
unto
his
gratious
Majesty
in
the
humble
way
of
Petition
for
redres
of
the
grievances
which
they
now
lie
under
,
they
were
interrupted
and
affronted
therein
by
the
Earle
of
Lindsey
,
and
divers
others
,
that
so
by
that
meanes
they
could
not
preferre
their
desires
to
his
most
sacred
Majesty
,
where
being
resolved
together
they
sent
it
to
the
honourable
Houses
of
Parliament
:
with
an
humble
desire
that
they
would
bee
pleased
to
take
such
course
therein
as
might
tend
to
the
preservation
of
their
liberties
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
:
whereupon
having
seriously
considered
and
weighed
the
particulars
of
those
their
desires
and
complaints
as
they
are
laid
downe
in
their
Petition
;
and
finding
that
the
grievances
they
complain
of
,
&
the
increase
of
the
miseries
formerly
sustained
by
the
County
,
which
hath
been
the
tragical
stage
of
Armies
and
warres
,
by
reason
of
his
Majesties
distance
of
residence
,
and
and
difference
of
Councells
from
your
great
Councell
the
Parliament
,
begetting
great
distractions
and
distempers
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
,
and
especially
in
that
County
:
the
drawing
to
those
parts
the
great
number
of
discontented
persons
that
may
justly
bee
feared
to
affect
the
publique
ruine
,
for
their
owne
private
advantage
.
These
aforementioned
particulars
being
taken
into
consideration
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
being
propounded
and
represented
to
them
by
the
Gentry
of
Yorkeshire
,
for
their
speedy
redresse
and
desires
,
forthwith
concluded
,
ordered
,
and
resolved
to
send
a
Petition
to
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
,
declaring
the
humble
desires
of
the
Gentry
,
Freeholders
,
and
inhabitants
of
Yorkeshire
which
they
did
accordingly
.
There
were
letters
read
in
the
Honourable
House
of
Commons
,
which
came
from
Rotterdam
importing
the
great
provision
of
Armes
,
and
Ammunition
,
that
were
preparing
to
be
sent
towards
the
North
:
there
being
divers
Cavaleeres
resolved
to
goe
towards
those
parts
having
got
great
force
of
Armour
and
other
provision
,
and
giving
out
many
base
ignominious
&
slanderous
reproaches
and
abusive
words
against
the
Parliament
of
England
.
