ON the 25. of july, his Majesty received several Petitions from the neighbouring People, wherein was expressed many insupportable grievances, and insufferable injuries, which they had sustained by some Cavaliers that were Billeted in the neighbouring Villages, some 3. Miles distant from the Camp, withal manifesting that the said Cavaliers had taken their Horses, under a pretence for his Majesty's Service, and had sold them to several Persons, by whom they were detained, to the great damage of the said Owners, humbly desiring his Majesty to take it into his serious consideration, and that according to his many Declarations and Protestations, that the poorest of his Prootestant Subjects should not want his protection, he would now, not only redress those present injuries, but protect them from future wrongs and damages of the like nature. Which Petitions were by his Majesty graciously accepted, and those Cavaliers by his Majesty's special command put to exemplary punishment, to the end that their examples might deter others from committing the like misdemeanours. Thomas Sanderson was caused to ride through the Camp, with his fcae towards the Horse Taile, afterwards discharged from his Majesty's Service. Dudley Kilbourne was put into the Bilboes four hours, and cashiered likewise. Sammuel Anderton was in great danger of being hanged, for entering into a poor-man's House, and threatening him, saying, he would cut his throat, if he would not tell him where he had hid his old Angels, but being censured to stand in the Bilboes three several days, he was committed to the provost-marshal, to whom the charge was given, to see the said sentence put in execution. Several Libels and scandalous Writings against the Parliament, were scattered in the Camp, which were showed to his Majesty, who was highly displeased therewith, openly declaring the Authors of those scandalous Writings, to be the chief promoters of these troubles and distractions, withal promising reward to him that would produce the Authors, protesting to make them examples to all the seditious Spirits in the Kingdom. His Majewy seems to be much discontented, and addicted to melancholy, delighting in no mirth or recreation, only in surveighing his Army, and observing the Situation of the Country, and it is generally hoped (however his Majesty stands engaged to that Party, for the present) that he intends not to alter the Religion of the Kingdom, nor to make War against his Subjects. His Majesty doth generally declare against Tumults, and Oppressions, and all his declarations which he frequently publisheth, are seconded with protestations, that his Royal intention is to maintain the true Protestant Religion, and the ancient Laws established by his Predecessors. The Cavaliers are very forward in their Attempts against Hull, and apt to engage themselves in any Design, that may in their judgements tend to the promotion of a War between the King and Parliament, and it is generally believed that if his Majesty had been as forward as they; something had been begun, that would not have been ended suddenly, against Hull I mean. The Gentry and Commonalty of Yorkshire, which are now under his Majesty's command, do declare themselves for the King and Parliament, tanned 'tis thought as soon as the Forces raised by ahe Parliament shall be on foot, they will call to astrict account some, that now make their power the limit of their wills, and rule both his Majesty and them by their beguiling pretences. There is shrewd muttering against the Earl of Lindsey, Earl Rivers, the Earl of Newcastle, Captain Porter, and Mr. Murrey, who are suspected to be the chief incendiaries and promoters of this War. There comes in supplies of Men and Horse daily, but all declare themselves that they come so armed for the defence of the King and Parliament. The Declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament. THe Lords and Commons do declare, that they only aim at, and desire nothing more than to maintain the purity and power of Religion, and to honour the King in his just and Regal Prerogatives, esteeming nothing like the Liberty, Peace, and Safety of the Kingdom, nor thinking any thing to be too good to be hazarded in discharge of their consciences for obtaining it: Always reposing themselves in the protection of Almighty God, which they are confident will never be wanting in his blessing towards them, while they seek his glory, as they have found him wonderfully going along with them in all their proceed. Ordered that this be printed and published. Joh: Browne, Cler. Parl. FINIS. WE the Lords and Commons are resolved to expose our Lives and Fortunes for the defence and maintenance of the true Protestant Religion, the King's Person, Honour and Estate, the Power and Privilege of Parliament, and the just Right, and Liberties of the Subject. And We do require all those who have any sense of Piety, Honour, or Compassion, to help a distressed State, and to come in unto our aid, and assistance: This being the true cause for which we raise an Army, under the Command of the Earl of Essex, with whom in this cause We will Live and Die.
