WEE Your Majesties loyall and obedient Subjects, doe most humbly supplicate your Highnesse to looke with compassiō upon your Protestant subjects of Ire­land, that lye weltring in their owne blood, most in­humanely shed by the bloody cruelty of the Popish Rebels, who have already in a manner, eradicated [...]e Protestant Religion, your Majesties Soveraignty, and the English [...]ation out of that Kingdome.

And with like compassion, to looke upon your Majesties Subjects [...]f England; whose just feares of the like calamity, daily expected, doe [...]ake them (in a measure) partakers of them before they fall.

Which miseries present, and dangers eminent, can neither be pre­ [...]ted, nor redressed, if these distances of place, and differences of [...]ouncels, doe continue betweene your Majesty, and your Majesties [...]eat Councell the Parliament.

And therefore your Majesties Petitioners, doe humbly sup­plicate, that your Majesty will be pleased to reconcile the dis­pleasures conceived against your loyall Subjects of this Realme (represented by the Parliament) unto whose religious and faith­full Councels, as we have referred our selves, so we doe most humbly desire your Majesty to vouchsafe your Princely eare, and personall presence. That by their advice, your Majesties piety and wisdome may prevent the dangers, that in these di­stracted times, doe threaten the destruction of Religion, Lawes, Liberties, and Lives of your perplexed Subjects.

And in particular, they humbly pray your Majesties consent to passe an Act, prepared by the Parliament, for supply of mo­ney, for payment of the forces entertained to subdue the Re­bels of Ireland, and for payment of the Billet money, due unto this Country.

And your Petitioners shall humbly pray, &c.
