THat as with all humble thankfulnesse they do acknowledge the many former and late influences of Your Royall Grace and Goodnesse, whereby they were lifted up with an expectation of happy dayes, wherein Your Sacred Majesty should have an Eternall Throne of Safety and Honour erected in the hearts of all Your loyall people, higher than the Thrones of any of Your Royall Pre­decessors; So we cannot now but expresse our unspeakable griefs, fearing all those hopes shall be dashed, and the joy of the whole Land darkened, by Your Majesties withdrawing Your Sacred Person, in these times of imminent dan­ger, from Your Great Councell, to the raising of unspeakable fears in the hearts of Your loyall Subjects.

Wherefore, in all humility, Your Petitioners implore Your Sacred Majesty, That out of the depth of Your Princely Wisedom and Good­nesse, the beams of Your Grace and Favour may again break forth upon Your Kingdom, in vouchsafing Your Majesties Presence to the Parlia­ment, whereby the fears of Your People may be removed, A Foundati­on laid of everlasting comfort to this Kingdom in the safety of Your Sa­cred Person, And abundant encrease of Honours and Greatnesse upon Your Royall Government.
