THE REMONSTRANCE OF THE Knights, Gentlemen, and Freeholders of the County of GLOUCESTER.  
WE do claim and avow it to be our undoubted Birthright and Liberty, That no new Laws, much less any new Government, can, or aught to be imposed upon us; nor any Taxes, Contributions, or freequarter taken of us without the Consent of the People of this Nation in a Free-Parliament Assembled; which Liberties have been often confirmed to us by the Great Charter, the Petition of Right, and many other Statutes; and Parliaments being the only Bulwark and defence of our Liberties, as men and Christians ought to be, freely elected and to sit and vote without interruption or opposition by any persons whatsoever: The privileges whereof we are all bound to maintain and defend, and to assist and maintain each other in the defence thereof. And therefore we resolve, according to our bounden duty, to join with the Lord Mayor and common-council of the City of LONDON, and all other Counties in ENGLAND in pursuance thereof. And we do not doubt but all true-hearted Englishmen who love their own Liberties, and are not willing to be made Slaves, or to enslave their Brethren, will join with us herein.
