A TRUE AND PERFECT RELATION OF THE PARTICULAR Passages at YORK, on Friday the third of JUNE, 1642. HIs Majesty having summoned the Freeholders' of the County of York, to appear before him on Hewarth Moor, on the day above said, to satisfy them concerning his intentions, many of them did appear together with a great multitude of Labourers and poor people, as also divers of the inhabitants of the County of Lancaster, in all according to the estimate of my self, and divers others of judgement) about the number of seventy thousand or upwards, they came not in any warlike way, nor put themselves into any posture or order, neither was the third part of the Freeholders', and Farmers of Yorkshire there. His Majesty had appointed 800 foot completely armed to guard his Person, and about eleven of the clock came to the Field or Moor accompanied with a great number of Lords and Knights of great quality. The Prince also led a troop of Horse consisting of 150. Knights, Esquires and Gentlemen, some whereof had four, some three, and most two men a piece, which made another troop. As soon as his Majesty came near the Moor, the people did entertain him with a very loud shout, and being come into the Moor, and as much silence made as could be, his Majesty made a speech, therein declaring his constancy in the Protestant Religion, and his great affection to that County, intimating that he resolved to reside amongst them in those parts to keep the Country in peace. His speech being ended, he road round the Moor, and about the number of 65000 followed him, crying all the way (God bless the King) but the rest which were about 5000 all Freeholders' separated themselves to Petition to his Majesty, and had their Petition ready to present to him the effect of it, was to beseech his Majesty to come to the Parliament, etc. but their Petition was intercepted by the Lord Savill, who carried himself very strangely in that particular, and in a forcible manner, suffered them not to deliver the same; His Majesty having road round the field, all the people brought him off the Moor with a great shout, and there many left him, but 20000. accompanied him to the Court gate, and saw him safe at Court, and with a great shout left him. A great multitude of the people never came at the Field, but stayed in the City, and others came but into the Moor, when the rest came out. And having thus made their appearance about eight of the clock at night all were returned out of the field. FINIS. Printed by A.N. for Humphrey Tucca. 1642.
