A Copy of the Petition delivered to the King at Newark, in His majesty's passage to York, by divers of the inhabitants of the County of Lincoln.  
To the Kings most Excellent Majesty.  
The humble Petition of Your majesty's loving Subjects in the County of Lincoln.  
IN all humility representing, as our thankefullest acknowledgements to God, and to Your Majesty, of the gracious blessings which we have for these many years enjoyed under your majesty's Government, and particularly the blessed fruits of this present Parliament, by Your majesty's wisdom and goodness assembled, Whereby many wholesome laws have been enacted for the great honour of Your Majesty, The relief of Your People, The prosperous Government of this kingdom, and happy settling of the late troubles in both kingdoms. So also our saddest regret for any the least misunderstanding and differences which have happened between Your sacred Majesty and the said Parliament, or any of the Members of the same, with our many distractions thereupon, and fears of the utter ruin of Your Majesty, Your royal Posterity and kingdoms, by the malicious and insolent designs of the Popish Party, and the advantage that foreign Enemies may take thereby.  
Humbly prostrating ourselves at Your majesty's feet, Do most affectionately pray, That Your Majesty and Parliament may by all good means be firmly reunited, and for that purpose, That you would graciously please to Reside near, and listen unto the faithful counsels of your said Parliament; Whereby, Romish Idolatry and Superstition may be extirpated, The Church and commonwealth duly Reformed, The true Religion, and all things settled in a blessed Peace under your majesty's Government And we shall still have further cause to continue our cheerful aids, both of Persons and Estates, for your Majesty and your kingdom's prosperity and honour.  
And ever pray for your majesty's long and happy reign over us, &c.
