Exceeding joyful News from the Earl of WARWICK.  
IT is not unknown to the subjects of England, the great Plots and wicked Designs which the Papists, or rather the party which we now call Malignants, have often and sundry times endeavoured to bring this Land to perpetual ruin and destruction, neither can it be unknown to the whole world, how powerful and active the wicked Counsellors about his Royal Majesty have been both before and since the Parliament now assembled, in seeking to destroy and extinguish the true Protestant Profession, the laws of the Land, and the Liberty of the Subject: and have also wrought many traitorous and damnable designs against the Parliament: But by the great care of the omnipotent God of heaven, they have been discovered, taking no effect, praised be his name for it. And seeing they could not prevail in these their damnable and Hellbred attempts, they prevailed so fare with his Royal Majesty, that they drew his Highness from his Parliament to divers adjacent places thereabouts, and after to the Northern parts, where (in his name) they publish divers scandalous and ignominious speeches against the Parliament, to the great danger, not only of the disturbance, but even of the subversion of the original Constitution and Fra●● of this Kingdom.  
But they not prevailing in all these attempts, which they have plotted against the Parliament; they thought it a business very convenient for them to bring their projects more to perfection, to desire his Majesty to send command to the Earl of Warwick for to resign his place to Sir john Pennington: At which time there was a disrovery of a great mischief that had like to have happened upon the discharging him of his place, Sir john Pennington being then in the Downs with a great company, expecting to have the ships delivered up unto him, but 'twas prevented.  
His Majesty through the instigation of wicked Counsel, hath put the Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Essex, Earl of Holland, and the Lord Fielding out of their places of Honour, for no other cause but discharging their consciences in Parliament, being Members of the said House; and likewise the Earl of Northumberland, and his Majesty hath displaced of high Admiral a man so eminent in all qualifications of honour and safety, so necessary for these times: All which were done by the means of evil Counsel, being a dangerous preparative to future Confusions.  
Both Houses having taken into consideration the displacing of these persons, especially the Earl of Northumberland, cannot think the Kingdom to be in safety, till they have done their utmost in all fit ways, till that office be restored, whereby the Commanders of the ships, which are the walls of the Kingdom, may again be settled in charge of that noble Lord.  
The Honourable House of Peers taking into serious consideration the great distempers of this Kingdom, and the great distress and danger the Kingdom of Ireland was in, unless timely remedy be forthwith prepared and made ready: But for the prevention whereof they ordered and resolved at a Conference to make this ensuing Declaration.  
That they having taken into consideration the weighty affairs of both Kingdoms; thought it very requisite and necessary, that the Earl of Leicester should be forthwith dispatched for Ireland; declaring and laying open the great necessity and want of him in that distressed Kingdom.  
To which Mr. Pym answered, that he was very willing to go, but that many weighty occasions hindered him, and at the same time the Earl of Leicester seconded him.  
Mr. Pym presented to the House of Peers divers Propositions concerning that motion, which was to this effect.  
That whereas their Lordships were desirous that he should forthwith go for Ireland; he was very willing, if so be provision were in readiness, he demanding a great sum of money at his first setting forth.  
But it was referred to a Committee for the consideration ●hereof.   

To the Kings most excellent Majesty.  
The humble Petition of the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled.  
May it please your Majesty,  
ALthough we, your Majesty's most humble and faithful Subjects, the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, have been very unhappy in many former Petitions and Supplications to your Majesty, wherein we have represented our most dutiful affections in advising and desiring those things which we held most necessary for the preservation of God's true Religion, your Majesty's safety and honour, and the peace of the Kingdom; And with much sorrow do perceive, that your Majesty incensed by many false calumnies and slanders, doth continue to raise forces against us, and your other peaceable and loyal Subjects, and to make great preparations for war, both in the Kingdom, and from beyond the Seas; And by arms and violence to overrule the judgement and advice of your great Council, and by force to determine questions there depending concerning the government and liberty of the Kingdom: yet such is our earnest desire of discharging our duty to your Majesty and the Kingdom, to preserve the peace thereof, and to prevent the miseries of civil war amongst your subjects; That notwithstanding we hold ourselves bound to use all the means and power, which by the Laws and Constitutions of this Kingdom we are trusted with for defence and protection thereof, and of the Subjects from force and violence. We do in this our humble and loyal Petition, prostrate ourselves at your Majesty's feet, beseeching your Majesty that you will be pleased to forbear and remove all preparations and actions of war, particularly the Forces from about Hull, from Newcastle, Tynmouth, Lincoln, and Lincolnshire, and all other places. And that your Majesty will recall the Commissions of Array, which are illegal; dismiss Troops, and extraordinary Guards by you raised. That your Majesty will come nierer to your Parliament, and hearken to their faithful advice, and humble Petitions, which shall only tend to the defence and advancement of Religion, Your own Royal honour and safety, the preservation of our Laws and Liberties: And we have been, and shall ever be careful to prevent and punish all tumults and seditious actions, speeches and writings, which may give your Majesty just cause of distaste or apprehension of danger. That your Majesty will leave Delinquents to the due course of Justice; And that nothing done or spoken in Parliament, or by any person in pursuance of the commands and directions of both Houses of Parliament, be questioned any where but in Parliament.  
And we, for our parts, shall be ready to lay down all those preparations which we have been forced to make for our defence. And for the Town of Hull, and the Ordinance concerning the Militia, as we have in both these particulars only sought the preservation of the peace of the Kingdom, and the defence of the Parliament from force and violence: So we shall willingly leave the Town of Hull in the state it was before Sir john Hotham drew any Forces into it, delivering your Majesty's Magazine into your Tower of London: And suppressing whatsoever hath been; disposed by us for the service of the Kingdom. We shall be ready to settle the Militia by a Bill, in such a way, as shall be honourable and safe for your Majesty, most agreeable to the duty of Parliament, and effectual for the good of the Kingdom: That the strength thereof be not employed against itself; and that which ought to be for our security, applied to our destruction: And that the Parliament, and those who profess and desire still to preserve the Protestant Religion, both in this Realm and in Iceland, may not be left naked and indefensible, to the mischievous designs, and cruel attempts of those, who are the professed and confederated enemies thereof, in your Majesty's Dominions, and other Neighbour-Nations. To which if your Majesty's courses and counsels shall from henceforth concure. We doubt not but we shall quickly make it appear to the 〈◊〉, by the most eeminent effects of love and duty 〈◊〉 your Majesty's personal safety, your Royal Honour and Greatness, are much dearer to us then our Lives and Fortunes, which we do most hearty dedicate, and shall most willingly employ for the support and maintenance thereof.
