A DECLARATION, By the Nobility and Gentry of this County of YORK; City of YORK, and County of the same City.  
WE the Nobility and Gentry, of this County of York; City of York, and County of the same City: do Entirely agree and fully Consent to the Humble Petition here Inserted of 〈◊〉 Lords Spiritual and Temporal: Bearing Date the Seventeenth of November, 1688. And presented to His Sacred Majesty the said day; by His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Archbishop of York Elect; And divers other Peers of this Kingdom, and we do not only approve the said Petition, but can by no means think ourselves safe either in our Religion or properties until the same be granted and that a Parliament shall meet accordingly.  

To the Kings most Excellent Majesty, The Humble Petition of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal; whose Names are Subscribed.  
May it please your Majesty.  
WE your Majesty's most Loyal Subjects, in a deep Sense of the Miseries of a War now breaking forth: in the Bowels of your Kingdoms and of the danger to which your Majesty's Sacred Person is thereby like to be exposed, and also of the distractions of your People, by reason of their present Grievances; do think ourselves bound in Conscience of the duty we own to God, and our holy Religion to your Majesty and our Country most humbly to offer to your Majesty that in our opinion the only visible way to preserve your Majesty and this your Kingdom would be the Calling of a Parliament regular and Free in all its Circumstances.  
We therefore do most earnestly beseech your Majesty that you will be graciously pleased withal speed to call such a Parliament wherein we shall be most ready to promote such Counsels and resolutions of Peace and Settlement in Church and State as may Conduce to your Majesty's Honour and safety and to the quieting of the minds of your people.  
We do likewise humbly beseech your Majesty in the mean time to use such means for preventing the Effusion of Christian Blood; as to your Majesty shall seem most meet.  
And your Petitioners shall ever Pray. etc.
