The Kings Majesty's Resolution concerning Yorkshire.  
Loving friend,  
AFter my hearty Commendations remembered unto you, and to your wife, I thought it necessary to send you these Occurrences, writing them with a sad and heavy heart, by reason that there is such a great dissension here in this our County, there is no talk now in these parts but Wars, as we are very fearful that they will ensue very suddenly, for there is great preparations in this City, and we dare not say to the contrary; His Royal Majesty is Resolved to stay there as yet, and doth assure us that there shall be nothing done contrary to the will of this Kingdom.  
The great and manifold dangers which are like to ensue (Courteous and judicious Reader) are many for these two or three years, but I pass them, they have been a Hatching and are now almost come to a full ripeness, as may appear by this ensuing Relation.  
Upon this present month of May, there hath been many Fears and Jealousies entering into the hearts of true hearted Protestants in the Northern parts of England, and especially in the County of Yorkshire, and they are now fully entered, more is the pity, we may all say, for they had some hopes that His Majesty and the Honourable High Court of Parliament, would by degrees have assented one with the other, and have all joined with one constancy of mind, for the future and public good, of this Kingdom, but now in the Conclusion they are fare further off then they were at the beginning, and their intentions are more apparently known to the World; For it is absolutely thought that a Civil War will suddenly ensue, unless God of his great mercy stir the intentions of many.  
There were many assembled together in a warlike manner in the County of Yorkshire; but to what intent is not yet known, but at last each man departed to his own home, yet this is for certain, that there is great preparations for war made in this County and divers other adjoining Counties, but to what intent is not yet known, it strikes terror to the hearts of all true Protestants, and maketh a great provision in this County, some of the Malignant party saying, that the world will never be good till there be some blood of the Puritan shed, but the Lord of his mercy send us a sudden prevention, that the blood thirsty Papists may lose, and miss of their intended purposes.  
There is in this County a great number of Papists, and likewise in many other Countries adjoining to this, and it is thought that they are well provided and furnished with great store of Ammunition for War whose design is to bring a civil War upon the face of this whole Kingdom, that while we are in dissensions among ourselves, a Foreign Enemy may have the more advantage to work their damnable and mischievous designs.  
There was upon the two and twenty day of this Month, many that went to his Majesty, saying they would lay down their Eves for the safety of his Majesty, it is generally thought there will be suddenly Wars in this County of York, and all other places thereabouts, so I rest.  
Your Loving Friend Edward Sanders. From York, May, the 22. 1641.   

Another passage of Note that happened in the County of York between the high Sheriff of the said County, and certain men assembled in Arms  
THe High Sheriff of Yorkshire, having Order and Command from both houses of Parliament, to suppress all those that appeared in a warlike manner in those parts, and having intelligence that there were some that had put themselves into a posture of War, He commanded some certain persons to make towards them with all speed, to certify the Command he had from both Houses of Parliament, to suppress all those that appeared in a Warlike manner, they having heard what the Messengers had said, immediately departed from them, and every man withdrew himself to his own home.
