GEntlemen I have cause of altering what I meant to say when I gave out the summons for this dayes appearance I little thought of these Messengers or of such a Message as they brought the which because it confirms me in what I intend to speak and that I desire you should be truly informed of all passages between me and the Parliament you shall here read First my Answer to the Declaration of both Houses concerning Hull the Answer of the Parliament to my two Messages concerning Hull together with my Reply to the same and my Message to both Houses declaring the Reasons why I refused to passe the Bill concerning the Militia All which being read his Majestie proceeded I Will make no paraphrases upon what ye have heard it more befitting a Lawyer then a King only this observation since Yreason is countenanced so neer me it is time to look to my safety I avow it was part of my wonder that men whom I thought heretofore discreet and moderate should have undertaken this imployment and that since they came I having delivered them the Answer you have heard and commanded them to return personally with it to the Parliament should have flatly disobeyed me upon pretence of the Parliaments command My end in telling you this is is to warn you of them for since these men have brought me such a Message and disobeyed so lawfull a Command I will not say what their intent of staying here is only I bid you take heed not knowing what doctrine of disobedience they may preach to you under colour of obeying the Parliament Hitherto I have found and kept you quiet the enjoying of which was a chief cause of my comming hither Tumults and disorders having made me leave the South not to make this a seat of War as malice would but I hope in vain make you beleeve Now if disturbances do come I know whom I have reason to suspect To be short you see that my Magazine is going to be taken from mee being my own proper goods directly against my will The Militia against Law and my consent is going to be put in execution And lastly Sir Iohn Hothams Treason is countenanced All this considered none can blame mee to apprehend dangers Therfore I have thought fit upon these reall grounds to tell you That I am resolved to have a Guard the Parliament having had one all this while upon imaginary jealousies only to secure my person In which I desire your concurrence and assistance and that I may be able to protect you the Laws and the true Protestant profession from any affront or injury that may be offered which I mean to maintain my self without charge to the Countrey intending no longer to keep them on foot then I shall be secured of my just Apprehensions by having satisfaction in the particulars before mentioned Printed at Yorke and now reprinted at London for Andrew Coe 1642.
