Strange and fearful NEWS FROM YORK.  
SIR,  
YOur Country Courtier kisses your hands, for the favour you did him in your last Epistle, & tells you he is of opinion with the Secretary in my Lord Newcastles last new play, That the Times are dangerous, & therefore shall say acthing but Mum: Letters have miscarried, so may mine; therefore I will send you nothing but tail-paper. Tell the Lincolnshire Roundheads I am theirs to be confided in: I know they cover News, therefore I pray tell them the King is here, and so am I but Mum, no more of that. Several Petitions have been delivered to my Sovereign, but what they are, you shall not know. The King hawks much after the Hiern, it's a high flight, but no more of that neither, nor any thing else at this time, only that I am  
April 8. Yours, T. K.   

A true Relation of some Remarkable Passages, that happened between Sir Richard Earl, & 〈◊〉 and threescore persons with clubs and bills, who assaulted them in the Housc where they lay, etc.  
SIr Richard Earl, and 20 more Gentlemen of quality, presented their Petition from the County of Lincoln, who were scoffed at by the Courtiers and Citizens, and called Roundheads; they lay in York on Sunday, and about midnight that night, about 60. persons with clubs and bills assaulted the house where they lay, and swore they would have the blood of them, the Gentlemen being up, and the Rogues got into the House, they were forced to put out their lights and betake themselves to their swords, which done, the unknown Rascals departed, giving threatening Speeches, that they would cut the throats that eme came next; yet I praise God we had reasonable fair quarter with them; the City of York we perceive offers these abuses to Petitioners, on purpose to deter them from coming to the King, because they would have reside with them; those that are well-affected (which are but few in comparison of the multitude) do join with us willingly and freely, both in judgement and matter; the Court is very thin as yet, but increaseth daily; the latter Declaration mentioned in our Answer, is not yet in print; the King's first Answer was (He refers us to the Kentish Petition) but we pressing for a further and more satisfactory Answer, had as you may here fee, with hopes still of a better.  
The Kentish Petition was Ordered to be printed, but speeding so badly at London, it is stopped as yet; much more I could tell you, but my occasions will not permit me, therefore with our best a affections to you all, I commit you to the Lords protection and rest,  
Your ever loving Brother while J. Widmerpole.   

A DECLARATION OF Both Houses of Parliament, concerning the establishing of Church Government, throughout the whole Kingdom of England.  
THe Lords and Commons do declare, That they intent a due and necessary Reformation of the Government and Liturgic of the Church, and to take away nothing in the one or the other, but what shall be evil, and justly offensive, or at least unnecessary and burdensome: And for the better effecting thereof, speedily to have consultation with Godly and Learned Divines. And because this will never of itself attain the end sought therein, they will therefore use their utmost endeavours to establish Larneed and Preaching Ministers, with a good and sufficient maintenance throughout the whole Kingdom, wherein many dark Corners are miserably destitute of the means of Salvation, and many poor Ministers want necessary provision.
