<HEAD>A Me&s;&s;age &s;ent from the Com|mittee at <HI>Yorke,</HI> to the Hou&s;e of Commons, concerning all the Pa&s;&s;ages that happen|ed there &s;ince the 5. of <HI>Iuly,</HI> to this pre&s;ent.</HEAD>
<P>_THe Subjects of <HI>Eng|land</HI> hath more di|&s;tractions and cro&s;|&s;es befalne them now of late, then any Subjects that are governed by any Prince in the va&s;t world, for never was Subject &s;o tor|mented with feares, as now, and all within our &s;elves, being at peace with all Nations, have wee had &s;o long a time of glorious peace, that we are now growne weary of it: Oh woe be
<PB REF="4" MS="y"> to tho&s;e creatures that are Enemies to the peace? Who may wee name the&s;e to be, but the malignant party, which ever &s;ince this pre&s;ent Parliament a&s;|&s;embled, have &s;ought the utter ruine and di&s;truction of them and the whole Kingdome. This malignant party, are tho&s;e which are adherents to the See of <HI>Rome,</HI> otherwi&s;e their proceedings and actions could never be &s;o vehement again&s;t the true Prote&s;tants of this Kingdome, as may appeare by the acti|ons of Mr. <HI>Henry Ha&s;tings,</HI> and divers others, who contrary to the Parliaments command, &s;ought all waies po&s;&s;ible might be, to hinder the proceedings of the <HI>Militia,</HI> to the great feare and terror of the Subjects in tho&s;e Coun|tries, the which hath cau&s;ed many troubles and di&s;tractions to ari&s;e in this Kingdome.</P>
<P>Therefore the Parliament out of their judicious care, taking the actions of tho&s;e per&s;ons into con&s;ideration,
<PB REF="4"> thought it a greae breach of Sr. <HI>Hen|ry Ha&s;tings,</HI> to come with &s;o many ar|med men into <HI>Liece&s;ter-&s;hire,</HI> to the great amazment and terror of the whole County, and that it was a bold attempt of them to pre&s;ume &s;o farre to proclaime him&s;elfe high <HI>Sheriffe,</HI> likewi&s;e to proclaime the Earle of <HI>Stamford</HI> Traitor, it being a great abu&s;e to his Honourable per&s;on, who&s;e name is made glorious to the whole world.</P>
<P>Therefore they re&s;olved to draw up a Charge again&s;t him for his high mi&s;|demeanors, which having done, the &s;aid Hou&s;e &s;ent up to the Lords, to have a conference therein, and after &s;ome debate, it was read and a&s;&s;ented to, wherein they re&s;olved that the &s;aid Mr. <HI>Ha&s;tings</HI> &s;hould be forthwith &s;ent for to an&s;wer to tho&s;e particulars which they had laid to his charge.</P>
<P>Al&s;o the Parliament having taken into con&s;ideration the high Crimes, and mi&s;demeanors which the Earle
<PB REF="5"> of <HI>Lind&s;ey,</HI> and the Lord <HI>Savill,</HI> have committed &s;ince their going to <HI>Yorke,</HI> re&s;olved and concluded, that if his Maje&s;ty denied their comming, as he did <HI>Becket</HI> the great Papi&s;t of <HI>Yorke,</HI> which report the Me&s;&s;enger that went for the &s;aid <HI>Becket,</HI> related to the hou&s;e, how that the Cavaleers re&s;cued him from him, and after he had his pri&s;o|ner re&s;tored againe to him, by the meanes of the Committee at <HI>Yorke,</HI> was afterward &s;ent for to his Maje&s;ty, and An&s;wer returned, that when the Par|liament gave him Iu&s;tice again&s;t <HI>Sir Iohn Hotham,</HI> he would deliver <HI>Becket</HI> to them, then there was a conference with the Commons, at which they mo|ved the Lords to joyne with them in &s;ending for the &s;aid two Lords, and if they were refu&s;ed as was <HI>Bec|ket,</HI> to fetch them by force, and that both Hou&s;es would take into con&s;ide|ration, what is fitting to be done, for the &s;ecurity of the whole Kingdome,
<PB REF="5"> and the contempt of the Orders of Parliament, to which the Lords a|greed there being a Committee of 14. Lords and 34. of the Hou&s;e of Commons appointed for the &s;ame purpo&s;e.</P>
