Enacted That the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England for the time being shall by virtue of this Act have full Power and Authority and is hereby required to award and issue forth several Commissions under the Great Seal of England into all and every the Counties and Cities within the Kingdom of England and Dominion of VVales to be directed unto such and so many persons as by the

Learning whereas it is our chiefest care and desire to advance it and to provide a competent maintenance for conscionable and preaching Ministers throughout the Kingdom which will be a great encouragement to Scholars and a certain means whereby the want meanness and ignorance to which a great part of the Clergy is now subject will be prevented And we intend likewise to reform and purge the fountains of Learning the two Universities that the streams flowing from thence may be clear and pure and an honour and comfort to the whole Land They have strained to blast our proceedings in Parliament by wresting the interpretation of our Orders from their genuine intention They tell the people that our medling with the power of Episcopacy hath caused Sectaries and Conventicles when Idolatry and Popish Ceremonies introduced in the Church by the command of the Bishops have not only debarred the people from thence but expelled them from the Kingdom Thus with El ah we are called by this malignant party the Troublers of the State and still while we endeavour to reform their abuses they make us the Authors of those mischiefs we study to prevent For the perfecting of the Work begun and removing all future impediments we conceive these courses will be very effectual seeing the Religion of the Papists hath such Principles as do certainly tend to the destruction and extirpation of all Protestants when they shall have opportunity to effect it It is necessary in the first place to keep them in such a condition as that they may not be able to do us any hurt And for avoiding of such connivence and favour as hath heretofore been shewed unto them that His Majesty be pleased to grant a standing Commission to some choice men named in Parliament who may take notice of their encrease their counsels and proceedings and use all due means by execution of the Laws to prevent all mischievous designs against the Peace and Safety of this Kingdom That some good course be taken to discover the counterfeit and false conformity of Papists to the Church by colour whereof persons very much disaffected to the true Religion have been admitted into place of greatest authority and trust in the Kingdom For the better preservation of the Laws and Liberties of the Kingdom that all illegal Grievances and Exactions be presented and punished at the Sessions and Assizes and that Judges and Justices be very careful to give this in charge to the Grand-Jury and both the Sheriff and Justices to be sworn to the due execution of the Petition of Right and other Laws That His Majesty be humbly petitioned by both Houses to employ such Counsellours Ambassadours and other Ministers in managing His business at home and abroad as the Parliament may have cause to confide in without which we cannot give His Majesty such Supplies for support of His own estate nor such assistance to the Protestant party beyond the Sea as is desired It may often fall out that the Commons may have just cause to take exceptions at some men for being Counsellors and yet not charge those men with crimes for there be grounds of diffidence which lye not in proof there are others which though they may be proved yet are not legally criminal To be a known favourer of Papists or to have been very forward in defending or countenancing some great Offendors questioned in Parliament or to speak contemptuously of either House of Parliament or Parliamentary proceedings or such as are Factours or Agents for any foreign Prince of another Religion such are justly suspect to get Counsellours places or any other of trust concerning publick employment for money For all these and divers others we may have great reason to be earnest with His Majesty not to put His great affairs into such hands though we may be unwilling to proceed against them in any legal way of charge or impeachment That all Counsellours of State may be sworn to observe those Laws which concern the Subject in his Liberty That they may likewise take an Oath not to receive or give reward or pension from any foreign Prince but such as they shall within some reasonable time discover to the Lords of His Majesties Council And although they should wickedly forswear themselves yet it may herein do good to make them known to be false and perjured to those who employ them and thereby bring them into as little credit with them as with us That His Majesty may have cause to be in love with good counsel and good men by shewing Him in an humble and dutiful manner how full of advantage it would be to Himself to see His own estate settled in a plentiful condition to support His Honour to see His people united in ways of Duty to Him and endeavours of the publick good to see Happiness Wealth Peace and Safety derived to His own Kingdom and procured to His Allies by the Influence of His own Power and Government That all good courses may be taken to unite the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland to be mutually aiding and assisting of one another for the common good of the Island and honour of both To take away all differences amongst our selves for matters indifferent in their own nature concerning Religion and to unite our selves against the common enemies which are the better enabled by our Divisions to destroy us all as they hope and have often endeavoured To labour by all offices of friendship to unite the foreign Churches with us in the same Cause and to seek their liberty safety and prosperity as bound thereunto both by charity to them and by wisdom for our own good For by this means our own strength shall be encreased and by a mutual concurrence to the same common End we shall be enabled to procure the good of the whole body of the Protestant profession If these things may be observed we doubt not but God will crown this Parliament with such success as shall be the beginning and foundation of more Honour and Happiness to His Majesty then ever yet was enjoyed by any of His Royal Predecessours Die Mercurii 15. Decemb. 1641. It is this day resolved upon the Question by the House of Commons that Order shall be now given for the Printing of this REMONSTRANCE of the State of the Kingdom H. Elsinge Cler. Parl. D. Com. His MAJESTIES Answer to the Petition which accompanied the Declaration presented to him at Hampton-Court 1 December 1641. WE having received from you soon after Our return out of Scotland a long Petition consisting of many desires of great moment together with a Declaration of a very unusual nature annexed thereunto We had taken some time to consider of it as befitted Us in a matter of that consequence being confident that your own reason and regard to Us as well as Our express intimation by Our Comptroller to that purpose would have restrained you from the publishing of it till such time as you should have received Our Answer

Subjects of a future Peace and no ground left for the continuance or growth of these bloody Dissentions Northumberland W. Pierrepont W. Armyne J. Holland B. Whitelocke April 6. 1643. HIS Majesty desires to know from the Committee of both Houses whether they acquiesce with His Majesty's Replies to their Answers concerning His first Proposition which yesterday they received from Him and to which they have yet made no return His Majesty likewise desires to know whether they have yet received power and Instructions to treat with His Majesty concerning His Return to His two Houses of Parliament which is a part of the first Proposition of both Houses Falkland April 6. 1643. WE shall transmit Your Majesty's Replies to our Answers concerning Your first Proposition to both Houses of Parliament without farther Reply We likewise humbly answer that we have not received any power or Instructions to treat with Your Majesty concerning Your Return to Your two Houses of Parliament but we assure our selves they will give Your Majesty satisfaction therein Northumberland Joh. Holland Will. Pierrepont Will. Armyne B. Whitelocke April 7. 1643. HIS Majesty conceives His Answers already given for He hath given two to be very clear and significant And if the Conclusion of the present Treaty on His Majesty's first Proposition and the Proposition of both Houses shall be so full and perfectly made that the Law of the Land may have a full free and uninterrupted Course for the defence and preservation of the Rights of His Majesty both Houses and His good Subjects there will be thence a clear evidence to His Majesty and His good Subjects of a future Peace and no ground lest for the continuance and growth of these bloody Dissentions and it will be such a Conclusion as His Majesty intended His Majesty never intending that both Armies should remain undisbanded until all the Propositions of both sides were fully concluded But His Majesty is very sorry that in that point of the first Proposition of both Houses which hath seemed to be so much wished and which may be so concluded as alone much to conduce to the evidence desired viz. His Return to both Houses to which His Majesty in His Answer hath expressed Himself to be most ready whensoever He may do it with Honour and Safety they have yet no manner of power nor Instructions so much as to treat with His Majesty Falkland April 7. 1643. WE have not transmitted Your Majesty's Answer to the Proposition of Disbanding wherein Your Majesty mentions Your Self to be most ready to return to both Houses of Parliament whensoever you may do it with Honour and Safety for that we humbly conceive we were to expect Your Majesty's Answer to that Proposition this day received before we could give a due account thereof to both Houses of Parliament the which we will presently send away without farther Reply Northumberland J. Holland W. Pierrepont W. Armyne B. Whitelocke April 8. 1643. BY Instructions this day received from both Houses of Parliament we humbly conceive that we are to acquaint Your Majesty That they have taken into consideration Your Majesty's Answer to their Reasons concerning the Cessation wherein there are divers expressions which will occasion particular Replies which at this time they desire to decline their wishes and endeavours being earnestly bent upon the obtaining a speedy Peace for which cause they do not think good to consume any more of the time allowed for the Treaty in any farther debates upon the Cessation concerning which they find Your Majesty's expressions so doubtful that it cannot be suddenly or easily resolved and the remainder of the time for the whole Treaty being but seven days if the Cessation were not presently agreed it would not yield any considerable advantage to the Kingdom Wherefore we are required to desire Your Majesty to give a speedy and positive Answer to the first Proposition concerning the Disbanding that so Your Subjects may not only have a shadow of Peace in a short time of Cessation but the substance of it in such manner as may be a perpetual blessing to them by freeing the Kingdom from these miserable effects of War the effusion of English blood and defolation of many parts of the Land Northumberland Joh. Holland Will. Pierrepont Will. Armyne B. Whitelocke April 10. 1643. BY Instructions yesterday received from both Houses of Parliament we are commanded humbly to insist upon that part of the first Proposition of both Houses of Parliament concerning the Disbanding according to the Papers we have formerly presented to Your Majesty thereupon and we are humbly to acquaint Your Majesty That both Houses of Parliament do conceive Your Majesty's Answer concerning the Disbanding to be in effect a Denial unless they desert all those Cautions and Limitations which they have desired in their Answer to Your Majesty's first Proposition Northumberland Will. Pierrepont Joh. Holland Will. Armyne B. Whitelocke April 10. 1643. BY Instructions from both Houses of Parliament yesterday received we are commanded to declare unto Your Majesty the desire of both Houses for Your Majesty's coming to Your Parliament which they have often expressed with full offers of Security to Your Royal Person agreeable to their Duty and Allegiance and they know no cause why Your Majesty may not return thither with Honour and Safety but they did not insert it into our Instructions because they conceived the Disbanding of the Armies would have facilitated Your Majesty's Resolution therein which they likewise conceived was agreeable to Your Majesty's sense who in declaring Your consent to the order of the Treaty did only mention that part of the first Proposition which concerned the Disbanding and did omit that which concerned Your Majesty's coming to both Houses of Parliament Northumberland Will. Pierrepont Joh. Holland Will. Armyne B. Whitelocke April 14. 1643. HIS Majesty had great reason to expect that as He answered to every part of the first Proposition of both Houses so the Committee should likewise have had power and Instructions to Treat with His Majesty concerning both parts of the same nor had the Houses any reason to suppose their course agreeable to His Majesty's sense for His Majesty in declaring His consent to the order of the Treaty indeed mentioned their first Proposition by the style of the first Proposition which concerned Disbanding but did not style it that part of the first Proposition which concerned Disbanding as if He had meant to have excluded any part of that Proposition from being treated on He would and ought to have done But though His Majesty's Answers in the point of Disbanding and Return to His Parliament were as particular and as satisfactory as His Majesty had cause to make or could well give till this latter part were consented to be treated upon yet out of His great desire of Peace and of complying with both Houses His Majesty hath made a full and particular Answer and Offer to both Houses concerning as well the first part
