"That the Petitioners having hitherto with much patience waited
  for, and with great confidence expected the happy progresse of
  this Parliament, and therein the removall of all those grievances
  under which they have a long time groaned, and the perfect
  Reformation of Church and Commonwealth, They are now constrained
  to represent unto this Honourable House, the manifold feares,
  troubles, and distractions wherewith they are incompassed, ariseing
  from that hellish and bloody rebellion in _Ireland_, acted by the
  Papists against our Bretheren by Nation and Religion, apparently
  threatning the losse of that Kingdome, the extirpation of the
  Protestants Religion there, and extreame prejudice, if not ruine
  of this Kingdome, From the want of timely and powerful supplies
  to suppresse those Rebells, the not granting ample Commissions
  to those who have bin ready to take up Armes against them, the
  not passing of the Acts for impressing Soldiers to that service,
  and the delayes in acceptance of the worthy offer of the South
  Nation to send 10,000 Soldiers thither, From the continuance of
  the Prelacy, and multitude of erronious and scandalous Ministers
  in this Kingdome; the Insolency of the Papists their being armed:
  the want of execution of Justice against Priests and Jesuits
  already condemned, and other notorious Delinquents; the many
  desperate plots and designes attempted against the Parliament
  and Kingdome by the Popish and Prelaticall party; the great
  and unparrelled breaches lately made upon the Priviledges of
  Parliament, endangering the overthrow of the very being thereof,
  and the destruction of divers of its Members, worthy Patriots of
  their Country; the not disclosing and punishing of those persons
  who counselled the same; The unpreparednesse of the sea Forts
  and other strengths of this Kingdome by Sea and Land against
  any Invasions, and the continuance of divers of them in unsafe
  hands, wherein the Parliament (and in them the whole Kingdome)
  cannot confide, the delay of putting the Kingdome into a posture
  of Warre, for their better defence; the misunderstanding between
  his Majesty and the Parliament, and the want of Compliance by
  this Honourable House with the House of Commons, in entertaining
  those many good Motions and passing those necessary Bils presented
  to you from that House for the Common good. All which springs
  and causes of your Petitioners' feares and distractions, having
  occasioned the totall decay of trade, and great scarcity of money,
  and thereby impoverishing and unsetlement of the whole Kingdome,
  and tending so exceedingly to the indangering of his Majestie's
  honour and dignity, and the peace and safety of this Kingdome:--the
  Petitioners doe verily beleeve, that as the same received their
