<HEAD>The True Copy of a Paper delivered by the Lord <HI>De&mdash;&s;hire</HI> to the <HI>Mayor</HI> of <HI>Darby,</HI>where he Quarter'd <DATE>the One and Twentieth of <HI>November, 1688.</HI></DATE></HEAD>
<P>WE the <HI>Nobility</HI> and <HI>Gentry</HI> of the <HI>Northern-Parts</HI> of <HI>England,</HI> (who&s;e Names are here under written) being deeply &s;en|&s;ible of the Calamities that threaten the&s;e <HI>Kingdoms,</HI> do think it our Duty as <HI>Chri&s;tians</HI> and <HI>good Subjects,</HI> to Endeavour, what in Us lies, the healing of our pre&s;ent <HI>Di&s;tractions,</HI> and pre|venting greater; And as with grief we apprehend the &s;ad Con&s;e|quences that may ari&s;e from the Landing of an <HI>Army</HI> in this <HI>Kingdom</HI> from <HI>Foraign Parts,</HI> So we cannot but deplore the Occa&s;ion given for it, by &s;o many Inva&s;ions, made of late years, on our <HI>Religion</HI> and <HI>Laws.</HI> And whereas we cannot think of any other Expedient to compo&s;e our differences, and prevent effu&s;ion of Blood, then that which procured a Settlement in the&s;e <HI>Kingdoms</HI> after the late Civil Wars, the meeting and &s;etting of a <HI>Parliament,</HI> freely and duly Cho&s;en, We think our &s;elves obliged, (as far as in us lies) to pro|mote it; And the rather, becau&s;e the Prince of <HI>Orange</HI> (as appears by His <HI>Declaration</HI>) is willing to &s;ubmit His own <HI>Preten&s;ions,</HI> and all other matters, to their <HI>Determination:</HI> We heartily wi&s;h, and humbly pray, That <HI>His Maje&s;ty</HI> would Con&s;ent to this <HI>Expedient,</HI> in order to a future Settlement; And hope that &s;uch a tempera|ment may be thought of, as that the <HI>Army</HI> now on foot, may not give any interruption to the proceeding of a <HI>Parliament.</HI> But if to the great Misfortune and Ruine of the&s;e <HI>Kingdoms,</HI> it &s;hould prove otherwi&s;e, We further Declare, That we will to our utmo&s;t, defend the <HI>Prote&s;tant Religion,</HI> the <HI>Laws</HI> of the <HI>Kingdom,</HI> and the <HI>Rights</HI> and <HI>Liberties</HI> of the <HI>Subject.</HI></P>
