In the Beginning of the Troubles, Petitioning was encouraged (under Pretence of being the Subjects Right ) as a most probable Means to bring the King Low, and to lay His Honour in the Dust. But though this Popular Method was for some time fiercely cried up, as being of dangerous Consequence to Majesty; yet when the Faction had served their own Turn by it, it was as violently Opposed, as being of as dangerous Consequence to the Parliament: So that when the County of Surry (in May, 1648.) carried a Petition to the House, that tended unto Peace, all of them were Abused, multitudes of them Beaten, many of them Stripp ' d of their very Clothes, and several of them actually Killed upon the Spot. |
