TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
VVHereas, we are distracted with the generall Fears of the Kingdome; that your Majesties Removall from Your Parliament, will be a dissolution of your Gracious Intents, and Pious Endeavors; for the Reformation of this your Grievances, which had crept both within the Church and Common-wealth. And likewise an Obstruction to the Relief of these Pressures, under which we groan; And an absolute hinderance of the Calamities, Distresses of Your Majesties Subjects of Ireland.
WIth bleeding hearts, We humbly beseech Your Majesty; That you will be pleased to return unto, and reside neer the Parliament, your supream Court and Counsell; Wherby we conceive your Royall Crown established upon your Self and Posterity; Our Religion, Lives, and Liberties secured unto Us, and Ours. And is the onely Means to expediate Relief to your Majesties said Protestant Subjects in Ireland: without which, we can conceive no Possibility of safety to your sacred Majesty to then, or us; Who shall most readily, according to Our Protestation, with our Lives and fortunes, maintain, and defend your Majesties Royall Person, Honour, and Crown, the Power and Priviledges of Parliament, the Rights and Liberties of the Subject; And the Power and Purity of the Protestant Religion.
