<HEAD>THE RESOLVTION Of the LORDS AND COMMONS a&s;&s;embled in <HI>PARLIAMENT,</HI> TO THE Kings mo&s;t Excellent Maje&s;ty, <HI>Concerning</HI> The great di&s;turbances in York-&s;hire, with the humble Propo&s;itions and De&s;ires of the Gen|try, Free-holders, and inhabitants of the County of York-&s;hire to both <HI>Hou&s;es of Parliament.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_THE providence of the Al|mighty hath been mo&s;t miraculou&s;ly and won|derfully in his manifold and mercifull deliveran|ces of this Land from e|minent and de&s;perate dangers, which did im|mediatly threaten the overthrow of this whole
<PB REF="3"> Nation: For which wee cannot but with hum|ble and thankfull hearts and mindes acknow|ledge his infinite goodne&s;&s;e for the&s;e worthy members of the Parliament, which hee hath been plea&s;ed to affoord us for our pre&s;ervation, &amp; to deliver us from the danger that was hang|ing over us: for wee cannot but acknowledge, that from their vigilant care did i&s;&s;ue our &s;afety; and that their labours were onely undertaken to pre&s;erve the peace and quiet of this king|dome, again&s;t the a&s;&s;ault of the malignant par|ty, who&s;e cruell de&s;ires were ambitious to un|&s;ettle and breake the publicke peace and welfare of this Kingdome by their mo&s;t malitious and pernitious coun&s;els unto his &s;acred Maje&s;ty: But thankes bee to God, again&s;t the endevours of the&s;e prey-thir&s;ty workers, hitherto the faith|full endevours of the Hou&s;e have been &s;ecured, and in de&s;pite of all contradiction of their envi|ous oppo&s;itions, yet remaines un&s;haken. Their fidelity and faith unto this Land is &s;till &s;afe; and without que&s;tion, with the a&s;&s;i&s;tance of Al|mighty God, will nor de&s;i&s;t, untill it hath brought all their de&s;ires to a mo&s;t happy perfe|ction. But becau&s;e I will not tre&s;pa&s;&s;e too farre upon the Readers patience, I will relate and de|&s;cribe the re&s;olution of both Hou&s;es of Parlia|ment, unto the Kings mo&s;t Excellent Maje&s;ty, in the&s;e particulars following.</P>

<P>The honourable Court of Parliament having lately received a Petition from a great number of the Gentry and Freeholders of the County of Yorke, a&s;&s;embled together by his Maje&s;ties &s;pe|ciall command, wherein was declared, that ha|ving taken a re&s;olution to addre&s;&s;e them&s;elves unto his gratious Maje&s;ty in the humble way of Petition for redres of the grievances which they now lie under, they were interrupted and affron|ted therein by the Earle of Lind&s;ey, and divers others, that &s;o by that meanes they could not preferre their de&s;ires to his mo&s;t &s;acred Maje&s;ty, where being re&s;olved together they &s;ent it to the honourable Hou&s;es of Parliament: with an hum|ble de&s;ire that they would bee plea&s;ed to take &s;uch cour&s;e therein as might tend to the pre&s;er|vation of their liberties, and the peace of the Kingdome: whereupon having &s;eriou&s;ly con&s;i|dered and weighed the particulars of tho&s;e their de&s;ires and complaints as they are laid downe in their Petition; and finding that the grievances they complain of, &amp; the increa&s;e of the mi&s;eries formerly &s;u&s;tained by the County, which hath been the tragical &s;tage of Armies and warres, by rea&s;on of his Maje&s;ties di&s;tance of re&s;idence, and and difference of Councells from your great Councell the Parliament, begetting great di&s;tractions and di&s;tempers throughout the
<PB REF="4"> whole Kingdom, and e&s;pecially in that County: the drawing to tho&s;e parts the great number of di&s;contented per&s;ons that may ju&s;tly bee feared to affect the publique ruine, for their owne pri|vate advantage. The&s;e aforementioned particu|lars being taken into con&s;ideration by both Hou&s;es of Parliament being propounded and repre&s;ented to them by the Gentry of Yorke|&s;hire, for their &s;peedy redre&s;&s;e and de&s;ires, forth|with concluded, ordered, and re&s;olved to &s;end a Petition to the Kings mo&s;t Excellent Maje&s;ty, declaring the humble de&s;ires of the Gentry, Free|holders, and inhabitants of Yorke&s;hire which they did accordingly. There were letters read in the Honourable Hou&s;e of Commons, which came from Rotterdam importing the great pro|vi&s;ion of Armes, and Ammunition, that were preparing to be &s;ent towards the North: there being divers Cavaleeres re&s;olved to goe towards tho&s;e parts having got great force of Armour and other provi&s;ion, and giving out many ba&s;e ignominious &amp; &s;landerous reproaches and abu|&s;ive words again&s;t the Parliament of England.</P>
