THE resolution Of the LORDS AND COMMONS assembled in PARLIAMENT, TO THE Kings most Excellent Majesty, Concerning The great disturbances in York-shire, with the humble Propositions and Desires of the Gentry, Free-holders, and inhabitants of the County of York-shire to both Houses of Parliament.  
THE providence of the Almighty hath been most miraculously and wonderfully in his manifold and merciful deliverances of this Land from eminent and desperate dangers, which did immediately threaten the overthrow of this whole Nation: For which wee cannot but with humble and thankful hearts and mindes aclowledge his infinite goodness for these worthy members of the Parliament, which he hath been pleased to afford us for our preservation,& to deliver us from the danger that was hanging over us: for wee cannot but aclowledge, that from their vigilant care did issue our safety; and that their labours were onely undertaken to preserve the peace and quiet of this kingdom, against the assault of the malignant party, whose cruel desires were ambitious to unsettle and break the public peace and welfare of this kingdom by their most malicious and pernicious counsels unto his sacred Majesty: But thankes bee to God, against the endeavours of these prey-thirsty workers, hitherto the faithful endeavours of the House have been secured, and in despite of all contradiction of their envious oppositions, yet remaines unshaken. Their fidelity and faith unto this Land is still safe; and without question, with the assistance of Almighty God, will nor desist, until it hath brought all their desires to a most happy perfection. But because I will not trespass too far upon the Readers patience, I will relate and describe the resolution of both Houses of Parliament, unto the Kings most Excellent Majesty, in these particulars following.  
The honourable Court of Parliament having lately received a Petition from a great number of the Gentry and Freeholders of the County of york, assembled together by his Majesties special command, wherein was declared, that having taken a resolution to address themselves unto his gracious Majesty in the humble way of Petition for redress of the grievances which they now lye under, they were interrupted and affronted therein by the earl of Lindsey, and divers others, that so by that means they could not prefer their desires to his most sacred Majesty, where being resolved together they sent it to the honourable Houses of Parliament: with an humble desire that they would bee pleased to take such course therein as might tend to the preservation of their liberties, and the peace of the kingdom: whereupon having seriously considered and weighed the particulars of those their desires and complaints as they are laid down in their Petition; and finding that the grievances they complain of,& the increase of the miseries formerly sustained by the County, which hath been the tragical stage of Armies and warres, by reason of his Majesties distance of residence, and and difference of Councells from your great council the Parliament, begetting great distractions and distempers throughout the whole Kingdom, and especially in that County: the drawing to those parts the great number of discontented persons that may justly bee feared to affect the public ruin, for their own private advantage. These aforementioned particulars being taken into consideration by both Houses of Parliament being propounded and represented to them by the Gentry of yorkshire, for their speedy redress and desires, forthwith concluded, ordered, and resolved to sand a Petition to the Kings most Excellent Majesty, declaring the humble desires of the Gentry, Freeholders, and inhabitants of yorkshire which they did accordingly. There were letters red in the Honourable House of Commons, which came from Rotterdam importing the great provision of arms, and Ammunition, that were preparing to be sent towards the North: there being divers Cavaleeres resolved to go towards those parts having got great force of armor and other provision, and giving out many base ignominious& slanderous reproaches and abusive words against the Parliament of England.
