We the KNIGHTS, GENTLEMEN, MINISTERS, and freeholders Of the COUNTY of WARWICK,  
BEING deeply affected with, and sadly sensible of the present Miseries, which both ourselves and the whole Nation groan under, We can no longer forbear to express our Griefs, and declare our Desires and Thoughts of the most probable means (by God's assistance) to give some remedy to our present sufferings, and prevent those yet greater Calamities which threaten our speedy and utter ruin.  
The cause of our present Calamities, (we conceive) proceeds from the many Revolutions, through maladministration of Government, and want of the right Constitution of Parliaments: And that after all our great and intolerable Sufferings, the vast expense of Blood and Treasure, for our Rights and Liberties, and privileges of Parliament (which we take to be the good Old Cause) we, with most of the Counties of this Nation, have not our Representatives in a Free Parliament:  
We therefore do declare, That we shall not consent to pay any Tax or Imposition, but by our Representatives freely elected, according to the Fundamental Laws of this Nation; It being the Indubitate and Indisputable Right of all the Free born People of England, that no Tax or Imposition whatsoever, be put upon, or exacted from them, but by their consents had by their Representatives in Parliament.  
And we further declare, That we heartily desire the burying of all Animosities and Differences, by a full and General Act of Oblivion and indemnity: And consideration to be had of Purchasers claiming by Act of Parliament.  
And, That no Officer or soldier who hath ventured his life for the freedom of his country, and shall continue faithful to those Principles, should be hereby discouraged, We also declare, That we shall freely and willingly consent that all such shall receive their Arrears, and be continued so long as the Parliament shall think fit, in order to the safety and preservation of the Nation. And that such Liberty be allowed to Tender Consciences as is agreeable to the Revealed Will of God in the Holy Scriptures.  
We also declare, That we shall not be wanting to our utmost powers, by all lawful ways and means, to endeavour the effecting of these our just Desires; And shall think nothing too dear to hazard for the Redemption of our undoubted Rights. And hoping that our most Gracious God hath yet a Mercy for this bleeding Nation, We trust that he will more especially move the hearts of those into whose hands he hath put the most power. And that his Excellency General MONCK, with the honourable City of LONDON, together with all the good people of the Three Nations, will concur with us in these so just and reasonable things, whose Peace, Prosperity and Safety is equally concerned with ours.
