To the high & Honourable the Legal Earthly supreme Power of England, the representive Body thereof, the Commons elective, in Parliament Assembled with Authority only for the weal, but not for the woe of the people.  
The just petition of the freeborn Commoners of the County of whose names are hereunto subscribed, earnestly desiring, the prosperity of the Gospel, the removal of bad, the setlement of just Laws, the freedom of this Nation, and the peace and tranquilely of all men.  
Shows,  
THat whereas the life and spirit of true Magistracy doth essentially consist of Justice and Mercy, and the weal and happiness of all politic Bodies in the free and impartial execution thereof; insomuch, that neither just Magisteriall Authority can be without the one, nor yet the safety of a people without the other, those being the main Pillars, whereon all human Authority, and all public safety are settled, and stayed; so that, no sooner that those Divine Pillars are battered, and ruined, but the Fabric of the Commonwealth tumbleth down (as it were headlong) into utter confusion, and hath its being dissolved forthwith: Government if degenerate from Mercy and Justice looseth its true Magisteriall Being, and every po●●tick Body deprived of Execution thereof, looseth its freedom, and falleth into Bondage; And that people are thereby (even from the principles of nature) instated into a just capacity of resistance, and utterly from their obedience to such Rulers absolved, except (to use your own words) 
a. Declar. 2. Novem. 1646. Bo. Dec 1. par. p. 696. & pag. 150. . that obedience binds men to cut their own throats, but that yourselves do deny, and plainly in the said Decl. affirm that in such cases nature teacheth every man to provide for his safety, and elsewhere you tell us; 
b. Decl. 19 May. 1642. 1. par. Bo. Dec. p. 207. . that this Law is as old as the Kingdom, that the Kingdom must not be without a means to preserve itself; the Kingdom and people while the own and the other hath being, must ever be supposed and granted, to have this radical principal of nature inherent, to provide in all straits for their safety, as a thing justisiable by the Law of God, of nature, and of Nations; or else were we worse than the bruit Beasts of the field, who by the very instinct of nature engraven in their hearts, will to the utmost of their power save and defend themselves from all violence, mischief: and sure no just privilege or prerogative in Rulers can desire, 
King jam. Speech in par▪ at White Hall, 1609. pub. by his pres. par  that men should be worse than Beasts: and this principal is backed with the Testimony of King James, who Positively said that a King Governing in a settled Kingdom leaves to be a King, and degenerats into a Tyrant. as soon as he leaves of to rule according to his Laws: and if no longer King no longer obedience is due for Regall●ty and obedience are relative.  
And therefore the late Politic Government of this Kingdom being degenerate from just Royalty, to lawless Tyranny, the Parliament and people risen up in Arms as one man against the King and his party, for their preservation, for redemption and recovery, of their Laws and Freedoms out of the hands of violent Usurpers and Tyrants in which just expedition your Petitioners have liberally and freely engaged their blood and Treasure, etc. faithfully with you persevering to the end.  
Yet now so it is Right Honourable your Petitioners find themselves in no wise eased or redressed, but on the contrary, themselves and the whole Commons of England, especially the well affected Party, your most faithful friends and Assistants encumbered and 〈◊〉 with Oppressions and Oppressors no less 〈◊〉 and Tyrannical than the Former; new devices daily hammered and hammering out against them to disinherit and deprive them of the Purchase of their blood, their Nationall freedom and safety: and which to the public is most obnoctious and dangerous of all, the Fundamentals and Pillars upon which the whole Fabric of this Commonwealth is founded and errected we find most desperately undermined and almost ruined, the great Charter of, England, whereby we hold our Lives, our Lands, our Goods and Freedoms (formerly 〈◊〉 times by several Parliaments confirmed to us and our posterities is now through the insolent domination of the Prerogative men of the Kingdom made so void and of so little effect, that the maintainers and strict observers thereof are therefore imprisoned, tossed and tumbled from Goal unto Goal, Sentenced, Fined, Dragged worse than Dogs, (without all remorse or respect either to tender infancy, weakness of Sex or constitution) headlong through the dirt and the mire, beat and abused by merciless Gaolers, laid in fetters and irons, the husband deprived of wife, the wife of husband, the one thrown into one Goal, the other into another, and their innocent helpless children like destitute Orphans exposed to the mercy of the World, etc. and yet notwithstanding no relief can be obtained from this House, though daily solicited and Petitioned by themselves, and lately in their behalf by almost ten thousand of the Gentlemen and Yeomen the Counties of Buckingham Shire, and Hartford Shire, whose requests for them were so reasonable equal and just, as might justly expect acceptance from Infidels, Pagans, and Turks, to wit, that they might be forthwith brought to the trial and determination of this House (to whom they have appealed) either for their speedy condemnation or justification, a benefit not to be denied to Murderers, Burglars and Felons, and yet (to the great dishonour of this House vexation of your Petitioners, and of other the free men of England) our brethren and fellow Commoners of the aforesaid Counties, could not obtain from this House (after 8. or 9 day's attendance and solicitation) so much as a reading of their petition therein, but being slighted and rejected, were forced to departed to their Counties again, much displeased and discontented at this House, even in despair, and hopeless of any benefit thereby. Though formerly this Parliament hath declared, 
* Decl. 2. Nou. 1642. b. Decl. 1 part. pag. 720. 1 par. bo. Decl. pag. 123.201.202.209.548.  that they are bound to receive Petitions for the removal of things though established by Law, that by experience are found grievous or burden some: If so, then how are your honours degenerate now, thus to slight the Countries, and reject their petitions, which are according to the Fundementall Laws of the Land, and for no other relief then according thereto▪ These and manifold other oppressions, cruelties, and tyrannies (like Egyptian Grasshoppers) overspread and devour the Land, nothing but confusion, and disorder appearing, privileges and prerogative unbounded, will, lust and averice advancing into the Throne, etc.  
But now Right Honourable be not offended with us at our grievous Complaints, it is the Commons which are oppressed; give therefore the oppressed leave to Complain, for it is most barbarous and inhuman to oppress, and then to stop the mouth of the oppressed; let therefore our cries come freely before you, and obtain speedy redress: it is that which we expect, and that which you cannot justly deny us without violation even of the very end of your Parliamentary being, your Election and Session therein.  
We therefore your Brethren and fellow Commoners being in this distressed dangerous condition, and not being able to suffer our Laws and freedoms to be utterly laid waist and destroyed, and not to endeavour our and their just preservation and defence, have thought it our duties to God, to our native Country, to ourselves and posterities; to present (amongst manifold other) some certain public disorders and oppressions, with some wholesome means o● 〈…〉 to your wise and grave consideration, earnestly desiring (as you tende● the weal and glory of this Nation, the interest and freedom of the commons thereof) to grant us without all further delays or demmurres a happy consummation of these out subsequent just desires, hereunto Annexed.  
And your petitioner as in duty bound shall ever pray etc.
