THE MESSAGE OF BOTH HOVSES To the King MARCH 22. 1641. VVith His Majesties ANSWER reported to the House of Peers APRIL 1. 1642. Published by Order of the Lords in PARLIAMENT LONDON Printed by ROBERT BARKER Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL MDCXLII ❧ Die Veneris 1. April 1642. ORdered by the Lords in Parliament That the Message of both Houses of Parliament to His Majestie dated the 22th of March and His Majesties Answer thereunto shall be forthwith printed and published Jo. Browne Cler. Parl. To the KINGS most Excellent MAJESTIE The humble Petition of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament May it please Your Majestie YOur Majesties most loyall Subjects the Lords and Commons in Parliament cannot conceive that the Declaration which Your Majestie received from us at New-market was such as did deserve that censure Your Majestie was pleased to lay upon us in that Speech which Your Majestie made to our Committees there and sent in writing to both Houses Our addresse therein being accompanied with Plainnesse Humility and Faithfulnesse we thought more ●roper for the removing the distraction of the Kingdom then if we had then proceeded according to Your Majesties Message of the 20th of Ianuary by which Your Majest●e was pleas●d to desire That we would declare what we intended to do for Your Majestie and what we expected to be done for our selves in both which we have been very much hindred by Your Majesties deniall to secure us and the whole Kingdom by disposing the Militia as we had divers times most humbly Petiti●ned And yet we have not bin altogether negligent of either having lately made good proceedings in preparing a cook of rates to be passed in a Bill of Tonnage and Poundage and likewise the most materiall Heads of those humble desires which we intended to make to Your Majestie for the good and contentment of Your Majestie and Your people but none of these could be perfected before the Kingdom be put into safety by setling the Militia And untill Your Majestie shall be pleased to concur with your Parliament in these necessary things we hold it impossible for you to give the world or Your people such satisfaction concerning the Fears and Jealousies which we have expressed as we hope your Majestie hath already received touching that exception which You were pleased to take to Master Pyms Speech As for Your Majesties Fears and doubts the ground whereof is from Seditious Pamphlets and Sermons we shall be as carefull to endeavour the removall assoon as we shall understand what Pamphlets and Sermons are by Your Majestie intended as we have been to prevent all dangerous Tumults And ●f any extraordinary concourse of people out of the Citie to Westminster had the face and shew of Tumult and danger in Your Majesties apprehension it will appear to be caused by Your Majesties deniall of such a guard to Your Parliament as they might have cause to confide in And by taking into White-hall such a guard for Your self as gave just cause of Jealousie to the Parliament and of terrour and offence to Your People We seek nothing but Your Majesties Honour and the peace and prosperitie of Your Kingdoms And we are heartily sorry we have such plentifull matter of an answer to that question Whether you had violated our Laws We beseech your Majestie to remember that the Government of this Kingdom as it was in a great part mannaged by Your Ministers before the beginning of this Parliament consisted of many continued and multiplied acts of violation of Laws the wounds whereof were scarcely healed when the extremitie of all these violations was far exceeded by the late strange and unheard of breach of our Laws in the accusation of the Lord Kymbolton and the five Members of the commons-Commons-house and in the proceedings thereupon for which we have yet received no ful● satisfaction To Your Majesties next Question Whether You had denied any Bill for the ease and securitie of Your Subjects We wish we could stop in the midst of our answer that with much thankfulnesse we acknowledge that Your Majestie hath past many good Bils full of contentment and advantage to Your People But truth and necessitie inforceth us to adde this That even in or about the time of passing those Bils some design or other hath been on foot which if it had taken effect would not onely have deprived us of the fruit of those Bills but have reduced us to a worse condition of confusion then that wherein the Parliament found us And if Your Majestie had asked us the third question intimated in that Speech What we had done for Your Self our Answer would have been much more easie That we have paid two Armies wherewith the Kingdom was burthened last yeer And have undergone the charge of the War in Ireland at this time when through many other excessive charges and Pressures whereby Your Subjects have been exhausted and the stock of the Kingdom very much diminished Which great mischiefs and the charges thereupon ensuing have been occasioned by the evill counsels so powerfull with Your Majestie which have and will cost this Kingdom more then two Millions All which in Justice ought to have been born by Your Majestie As for that free and generall Pardon Your Majestie hath been pleased to offer it can be no security to our Fears and Jealousies for which Your Majestie seems to propound it because they arise not from any guilt of our own Actions but from the evill Designes and Attempts of others To this our humble Answer to that Speech we desire to adde an Information which we lately received from the Deputy Governour of the Merchant Adventurers at Rotterdam in Holland That an unknown person p●●r●aining to the Lord Digby did lately solicite one Iames Henley a Mariner to go to Elsenore and to take charge of a Ship in the Fleet of the King of Denmark there prepared which he should conduct to Hull In which Fleet likewise he said a great Army was to be transported And although we are not apt to give credit to Informations of this nature yet we cannot altogether think it fit to be neglected but that it may justly adde somewhat to the weight of our Fears and Jealousies co sidering with what circumstances it is accompanied Of the Lord Digbies preceding Expressions in his letter to Her Majestie and Sir Lewis Dives And Your Majesties succeeding course of withdrawing Your Self Northward from Your Parliament in a manner very sutable and correspondent to that evil Counsell Which we doubt will make much deeper impression in the generality of Your People And therefore we most humbly advise and beseech Your Maj●stie for the procuring and setling the confidence of Your Parliament and all Your Subjects and for the other important reasons concerning the recovery of Ireland and securing this Kingdom which have been formerly presented to Your Majestie You will be graci●usly pleased with all convenient speed to return
