His majesty's Demands TO THE GENTRY OF Yorkshire, Concerning the town of hull, Answered by two several PARTIES.  
we conceive that the substance of his majesty's proposition unto us the 30. of April consisted in these two particulars, First, to know, Whether we would defend his majesty's royal Person from violence, or no, according to our duties. Secondly, To have our advice concerning his majesty not being admitted into his town of Hull, and how his majesty may be vindicated in his honour for that affront, and how he may be put into the possession of his own.  

The humble Answer of those who Petitioned your majesty the thirtieth of April, and divers other Knights and Gentlemen.  
May it please your most Excellent majesty,  
We shall be ready to defend his majesty's person from violence, by all such ways, as the Law and our duties binds us. And for the means to vindicate your majesty's honour, and to put you into the possession of your own, we conceive that the best advice, that we can offer unto Your majesty is, humbly to desire you to hearken to the counsels of your Parliament, who (we assure ourselves will be careful of your majesty's person and honour, and to whom your majesty hath already been pleased to direct a message to that purpose.   

The humble Answer of the Gentry of the county of York.  
ACcording to Your majesty's command to Your majesty's proposition, we profess our willingness, as in duty we are bound to defend Your majesty's Sacred person against all foreign and domestic attempts, to the uttermost of our power, and as our allegiance binds us, And for the keeping of Your majesty's honour, touching the business of Hull, Your majesty being pleased to commend it to Your Parliament, the high council of Your kingdom, we do humbly crave pardon that we do not interpose, But forasmuch as Your majesty may look for a particular satisfaction at our hands, we humbly and heartily profess that we shall be ready to serve Your majesty in the same and all other occasions, with our lives and fortunes as far as your majesty shall be pleased legally to enable and command us.
