Those whose names are subscribed, who are well affected to the Parliament, hereby present their petition, praying that it may be speedily considered and the Council's ordinance thereupon put into execution. Subscribed: Thomas Williams, William Williams, Michael Thomas, Edward Lloyd, Lewis Hughes, Lewis Bolton, Arthur Michael, Richard Rowland, Richard Pierce, Alexander Taylor, and Thomas Jones. Overleaf: The humble petition of the well-affected of Anglesey. (1) That the malignant gentry and clergy exercised an arbitrary and tyrannical power upon the petitioners during the late war, forcing them to pay vast sums of money, putting the same into their own purses, promoting the late war against the Parliament and imprisoning the petitioners. (2) That they invited Lord Byron a first and second time to the island, occasioning a war with Parliament, so that those who were well-affected suffered highly. (3) By their declaration dated 14 July 1648 they declared themselves public and open enemies to Parliament, as by the copy of their declaration annexed appeareth, whereunto the names of the chief delinquents are subscribed. (4) That in August and September 1648, they again waged a second war against the Parliament's forces in the island, and fought a battle, killing many, in which they forced many of the commonalty to join, threatening to hang them at their doors and to burn their houses if they did not take up arms for them. (5) That no ordinance is yet passed enacting that the revenue from the sequestered estates of delinquents is to go towards the navy; while malignants continue as magistrates which will prove destructive to Parliament and this republic if not prevented. The revenue from sequestered estates in this island will amount to £20,000. (6) That the malignant clergy here have some 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 churches as pluralities and have enjoyed the same for ten years past, and neither preached nor caused to be preached above one or two sermons in any of their churches in their cure during all the time aforesaid, yet have received the full benefit thereof, to the dishonour of God and destruction of many poor souls, thereby impoverishing the county and island, and enriching themselves by purchasing great estates, which only beget their pride and insolence, and the people's slavery, and neglect of God's worship. (7) That the malignants of themselves, without authority of Parliament, about September last, did raise and force from the petitioners the sum of £ 7,000 for their own uses and for setting on foot new designs against Parliament, and if speedy course be not taken against them, they may destroy the people's estates and liberties. And in remedy thereof it is humbly represented:. (A) That estates of delinquents be sequestered forthwith. (B) That the removal of delinquents from office be effected, as well as of all malignant clergy from their livings. (C) That a committee be appointed for the government of the island in the service of the Parliament and Commonwealth. (D) That the militia may be put under the command of Parliament men.
