❧ The humble Petition of His Majesties loyall Subjects in the County of Lincoln .

IN all humility representing , as our thankfullest acknowledgements to God , and to your Majestie , of the great Blessings which we have for these many yeers enjoyed under your gracious Government , and particularly the blessed Fruits of this present Parliament , by your Majesties Wisdom and Goodnesse assembled , whereby many wholsom Laws have been enacted , for the great Honour of your Majestie , relief of your People , the prosperous Government of this , and happy setling of the late Troubles in both Kingdoms , so our saddest regrete for any the least mis-understanding , and Differences which have hapned betwixt your sacred Majestie and the said Parliament , or any Members of the same , with our many Distractions thereupon , and Fears of the utter ruine of your Majestie , and your Royall Posterity and Kingdoms , by the malicious and insolent Designes of the Popish partie , and the advantage that forreign Enemies may easily take thereby .

Humbly prostrating our selves at your Majesties feet , most affectionately pray , that your Majestie and Parliament may by all good means be firmly united . And for that purpose you would graciously please to reside neer , and listen unto the faithfull counsels of your said Parliament , whereby Romish Idolatry and Superstition may be extirpated , Church and Common-Wealth duly reformed , the true Religion , and all things else , setled in a blessed Peace under your Majesties Government ; And we shall have still further cause to continue our cheerfull aids both of Persons and Estates , for your Majesties , and your Kingdoms Prosperity and Honour . And shall ever pray for your Maiesties long and happy Reigne over us .
❧ At the Court at York . 28. Martii . 1642. His Majestie hath given me expresse Command to give you this His Answer to your Petition .

THat this Petition ( as some others of this nature ) is grounded upon mis-information , and ( being grieved and highly offended to see how His good People have been , and are abused by false Rumors and Intelligences , which have procured causlesse Fears and Apprehensions ) refers the Petitioners to the two Answers He hath given to His Parliament , viz. To the Declaration presented to Him at New-Market , and to the Petition presented to Him the six and twentieth of this moneth at York : wherein you will cleerly perceive , That His Maiestie is not gone , but driven away from His Parliament , and therefore His Maiestie hath reason to think , that now ( understanding the love He bears to , and Confidence He hath of His Peoples Fidelity ; As likewise His constant Resolution for the maintaining of , and governing by the Laws of the Land ) you may finde reason to petition the Parliament to comply with His Maiesties iust Desires , and gracious Offers , this being the onely Way , safely and speedily to cure the present Distractions of this Kingdom , and ( with Gods blessing ) to put a happy end to the Irish Rebellion : for the effecting whereof ( as His Maiestie hath often said ) He will neither spare pains , nor decline any hazard of His Person or Fortune .

Signed by Master Secretary NICHOLAS .

Imprinted at York by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL . 1642.
