ESTATED IN IRELAND
The Petition of Both Houses of Parliament Presented to His Majestie at Yorke, March 26 - London: Barker ... And by the Assignes of John Bill, 1642, small quarto with modern half goatskin on marbled boards.
Aside from the petition named in the title head, this also records The humble petition of divers noblemen and gentlemen estated in Ireland, now at London addressed to the King and complaining of his absence from Parliament. This provoked a sharp rebuke signed by Mr Secretary Nicholas from the Court at York on March 28th: His Majestie hath given me expresse command to give you this is answer to your petition, that this petition (as some others of this nature) is grounded upon misinformation, and (being grieved and highly offended, to see how his good people have been and are abused, by false rumours and intelligences, which have procured causelesse fears and apprehensions;) refers the petitioners to the two answers he hath given to his Parliament. From these, Secretary Nicholas writes, you will clearly perceive that His Majestie is not gone, but driven from his Parliament.
