With the Answer of the Lords thereunto annexed . To the Right Honourable Robert Lord Brook , Lord Lievtenant for the County of Warwick . The Petition of the Deputy Lievtenants , Captains , Officers , and Souldiers of the Trained-Bands , and Voluntiers of the County aforesaid . Humbly Sheweth , THat as it was no small comfort , and setling to the well affected of the whole Kingdom , when they understood the most excellent , necessary , and seasonable Ordinance of both Houses of Parliament , concerning the Militia , so in speciall , we of this County , who did most earnestly Petition for it , Do desire to come short of none in the expression of our unfeigned thankfulnesse to them , for the happy accomplishment thereof ; As also , for their respects to us , in appointing your Lordship our Lievtenant . Our request to your Lordship is , That you will present our most humble and hearty thanks to the Parliament , signifying our readinesse to obey His Majesties Royall Authority in this their happy Ordinance of the Militia , and our Resolutions to adhere to His Majestie , and both Houses of Parliament , to the losse of the last drop of our dearest bloud in securing His and their Persons , and advancing their designes ; Which ( though maliciously traduced by some few malignant Persons ) we rest most assured , ●ends only to the establishment of truth and peace to us , and our posterities . For the better securing whereof , we humbly and heartily pray this Ordinance may be continued , till by some other effectuall provision , the peace of this Kingdom , and the securitie of our Laws be established , especiallie by putting the power and care of their execution , in such hands as the Parliament , and Kingdom may confide in ; which by the late violation of the Petition of Right , we have cause to recommend to the Parliament , as fearing the like miscarriages for the time to come , of whatsoever good Laws you can provide , without some such way of securitie . And we further pray , That some speedie course may be taken , to remove from His Majesties most Sacred Person , all pestilent troublers of this Church and State ; and for such Members as leave that great Councell , and leane to the malignant party , Our most humble and earnest desires are , That they may receive such condigne and speedie punishment ( the Kingdom groaning under so long delay ) as shall be thought fit by the Wisedome and Justice of this Parliament . One request more that concerns this Countie , We humblie present your Lordship with , That the Magazine thereof , which lies in the Citie and Countie of Coventry , may be removed and laid up in your Lordships Castle at Warwick , as the safest place of the Countie , with a sufficient Guard , provided by the Countie for the securing of it . And your Petitioners shall ever pray , &c. The Lords Answér . MY Lords have taken your Petition into Consideration , and receive much contentment in the good affections you have expressed , thus seasonably and necessarily , for the good of the King and Kingdom , and for their Lordships Encouragement in the performance of their Duty ; For which they give you hearty thanks : And my Lords do assure you , That ( God willing ) they resolve to insist in their former declared Resolutions for the upholding the true Religion , The Kings Authority in the highest Court , which by sundry late Declarations and Practises to abuse the people , they finde so much vilified and invaded , The Priviledges of Parliament , The free course of Justice , The Laws and Peace of this Kingdom , notwithstanding any dangers and hazards that for that Cause befall them . That for the manifestation of their good Affections , and their Lordships kinde acceptation thereof , they have commanded your Petition and this Answer , to be forthwith printed and published . Die Sabbathi , 9 Julii , 1642. Ordered by the Lords in Parliament , That this Petition and Answer be forth with Printed and Published . Joh. Brown , Cler. Parl. July 11.
