To our right trusty and well beloved the Gentry of York and others of this our County of Yorke , whom it doth or may concerne . WEE have with great contentment considered your dutifull and affectionate answer to our proposition concerning the unsufferable affront which we receiued at Hull : Wee have not been deceived in that confidence we have had in your affection , Wherefore we desire you to assure the rest of your Countrey-men , wh● through negligence were omitted to be summoned : that Wee shall never abuse your love by any power wherewith God shall enable us to the least violation of the least of your liberties , or the d●minution of those immunities which we have granted you this P●rliament , though they be beyond the Acts of most ( if not all ) on Predecessors ; being resolved with a constant and firme resolution to have the Law of this Land duly observed , and shall endeavour onely so to preserve our just Royall Rights , as may enable us to protect our Kingdome and People , according to the ancient honours of the Kings of ENGLAND , and according to the trust which by the Law of God and this Land , is put into the Crowne , being sufficiently warned by the last affront at Hull , not to transferre the same out of our power ; concerning which affront we will take some time to advise , which way we may imploy your affections . In the meane time we shall take it well from all such as shall personally attend us , so followed and provided , as they shall thinke fit for the better safety of our person , because we know not what sudden violence or affront may be offered unto us , having lately received such an actuall testimony of rebellious intentions , as Sir Iohn Hotham hath expressed at Hull . Being thus secured by your affections and assistance , we promise you our protection against any contrary power whatsoever . And that you shall not be molested for your humble and modest Petition , as of late you have been threatned . Given at our Court at York May 16. 1642. Die Martis 17. May , 1642.
