THE HVMBLE PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS OF the Countie of ESSEX , who to the number of twenty thousand hands , have subscribed and presented to the Committee of the House of Commons at Grocers-Hall in London , Ian . 18. 1641. Which was accompanied by Knights , Gentlemen , and others of good quality in a very great number . To the Honorable Knights and Burgesses of the House of COMMONS in Parliament . The Humble Petition of the Knights , Gentlemen , Ministers , and other Inhabitants in the County of Essex . SHEWETH ,

UNto your Honourable House , that we are truely sensible of your great care , and extraordinary endeavours , to settle our Religion , and Peace , and daily give thankes to GOD Almighty for it ; And we doe further in all humility present to your Honourable considerations , which wee doe apprehend a great stop in Reformation of matters of Religion , and our selves together with you , and the whole Kingdome , to be in great danger of the Papists , and other ill-affected persons , who are every-where very insolent , and are ready to act the parts of those cruell blood-suckers in Jreland , if they be not speedily prevented : by meanes whereof , our Trading , especially of Clothing , and Farming , grew a great pace , to so great a dampe , as many thousands are like to come to suddaine want . Nor can wee expect any redresse thereof , unlesse the Bishops and Popish Lords be removed out of the House of Peeres .

Therefore we humbly pray , that you would earnestly mediate his Majesty and the House of Peeres , That our Brethren in Ireland , may speedily be relieved , And the Papists throughou● the Kingdome be disarmed , And that such defects of Armes , as in your discretions , shall ap●peare to be meet , may be supplied , and this County and Kingdome , put into such a Warlike posture , as may be best for its defence , and safety , and that the Bishops , and Popish Lords who as we conceiue , have hindered the successe , of your godly Endeavours , may be put out of the House of Peeres , Not doubting but then our Petition formerly presented to your House , will receive a more full and speedy answer .

And your Petitioners resolving in all just and Honourable wayes , according to the late Protestation , to assist you , with our lives , and Estates , against the Enemies of GOD , the KING , and State , humbly pray to Almighty GOD , for your good successe .

London , Printed for John Thomas , 1641.
