DIEV ET MON DROIT HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE ❧ By the King A Proclamation declaring his Maiesties pleasure concerning the dissoluing of the present Conuention of Parliament ALbeit the Assembling Continuing and Dissoluing of Parliaments be a Prerogatiue so peculiarlie belonging to Our Imperiall Crowne and the times and seasons thereof so absolutelie in Our owne power that we need not giue account therof vnto any yet according to Our continuall custome to make Our good Subiects acquainted with the reasons of all Our publike resolutions actions We haue thought it expedient at this time to declare not only Our pleasure and resolution therein grounded vpon mature deliberation with the aduice and vniforme consent of Our whole Priuie Councell but therewith also to note some especiall proceedings moouing Us to this resolution And that chiefie to this end that as God so the World may witnesse with Us that it was Our intent to haue made this the happiest Parliament that euer was in Our time And that the lettes and impediments thereof being discerned ail misunderstandings and iealousies might bee remooued and all Our people may know and beleeue that We are as farre from imputing any of those ill accidents that haue happened in Parliament to any want or neglect of duty or good affection towards Us by them in generall or by the greater and better number of Parliament men as we are confident the true causes discouered they wil be far from imputing it to any default in Us there hauing in the beginning of this late Assemblie passed greater and more infallible tokens of loue and duty from Our Subiects to Us their Soueraigne and more remarkeable testimonies from Us of Our Princely care and zeale of their welfare then haue beene in any Parliament met in any former Age. This Parliament was by Us called as for making good and profitable Lawes so more especially in this time of miserable distraction throughout Christendome for the better setling of peace and Religion and restoring Our Children to their ancient and lawfull patrimony which We attempted to procure by peaceable treaty at Our owne excessiue charge thereby to saue and preuent the effusion of Christian blood the miserable effect of warre and dissension yet with full purpose if that succeeded not to recouer it by the sword and therefore as a necessary meanes conducing to those ends the supply of Our Treasures was to bee prouided for This Parliament beginning in Ianuary last proceeded some moneths with such harmonie betweene Us and Our people as cannot bee paralleld by any former time For as the House of Commons at the first both in the manner of their supplie and otherwise she wed greater loue and more respect then euer any House of Commons did to Us or as Wee thinke to any King before Us So We vpon all their complaints haue afforded them such memorable and rare examples of Iustice as many ages past cannot shew the like wherein that Wee preferred the weale of Our people before all particular respects the things themselues doe sufficiently prooue Our Iustice being extended not onely to persons of ordinary ranke and qualitie but euen to the prime Officer of Our Kingdome And although after their first Recesse at Easter Wee found that they misspent a great deale of time rather vpon the inlarging of the limites of their liberties and diuers other curious and vnprofitable things then vpon the framing and proponing of good profitable Lawes Yet We gaue them time and scope for their Parliamentary proceedings and prolonged the Session to an vnusuall length continuing it vntill the eight and twentieth day of May before Wee signified Our purpose for their Recesse and then Wee declared that We would make a Recesse on the fourth day of Iune next following but onely for a time and in such maner as might bee without disturbance to any their businesses in hand expressing out of Our Grace though Wee needed not the causes of that Our purpose which were the season of the yeere vsually hot and vnfit for great assemblies Our Progresse approaching the necessitie Wee had to make vse of Our Councell attending in both houses both to settle Our waightie affaires of State before Wee went and to attend Us when Wee went Our Progresse the dissurnishing of Our ordinary Courts of Iustice so many Termes together the long absence of Iustices of Peace and Deputy Lieuetenants whose presence was needfull for making and returning of musters and for subordinate gouernement of the Countrey and therefore Wee appointed to adiourne the Parliament on the fourth day of Iune giuing that warning longer then vsuall that they might set in order their businesses and prepare their greeuances which Wee promised both to heare and answere before that Recesse for presenting whereof We appointed them a time This message graciously intended by Us was not so well entertained by some who in a short time dispersed and spred their iealousies vnto others and thereby occasioned discontentment in the House for being adiourned without passing of billes Yet made not their addresse to Us as had beene meet but desired a conference with the Lords and at that conference the nine and twentieth day of May vnder colour of desiring to petition Us for some further time to perfect and passe some speciall Bils were imboldened not onely to dispute but to refell all the reasons that We had giuen for the adiournement which being made knowen vnto Us Wee againe signified Our pleasure to both Houses that on the fourth day of Iune the Parliament should rise but Wee would then giue Our Royall assent to such billes as were or should bee ready and fit to bee then passed continuing all other businesses in state they were by a speciall Act to be framed for that purpose The Lords with all duetie and respect submitted to Our resolution passed the Act sent it with speciall recommendation to the house of Commons but they neither read it nor proceeded with businesses but forgetting that the time was Ours not theirs continued their discontentment as they pretended for being so soone dismissed We though it were strange to obserue such auersnes for Our resoluing vpon such waighty reasons that wherin We needed not to be measured by any other rule but Our owne Princely will yet were contented to descend from our owne Right to alter Our resolution and to continue the Session for a fortnight more wherein they might perfite such publique Billes as were esteemed of most importance for which purpose We Our selfe came in person vnto the Higher house of Parliament and made offer thereof vnto them which being in effect as much as the Commons had formerly desired was no sooner offered but yeelding thankes to Us the said Commons resolued the same day directly contrary to their former desire to refuse it and to accept Our first Resolution of an adiournement but attending Us at Greenwich presented no grieuances This inconstancie as We passed by with a gentle
