HIS MAIESTIES Speech to both Houses of Parliament the second of December 1641. My Lords And Gentlemen I Am to Speake a word unto you since I have beene so long absent from you it is in no way in answer to the learned speech of Maister Speaker but yet I shall touch one point of it concerning Ireland but first I must tell you though I have beene absent longer then indeede I did expect or could have been expected by you yet I stayed no longer in Scotland then the necessity of those affaires would absolutely permit and indeed I have done therein so much good that I dare boldly affirme unto you I have left the people a most contented and happie nation so that if I did misreckon in the time I did not misreckon in the end Now though I have deceived you a littl of your expectation in point of time I confesse you have deceived my expectation in finding of businesse here for I had thought to have found thinges in quietnesse and setled both for Religion and peace of this Kingdome but I found great distractions in so much as the Parliament was thought fit to be guarded this I speake not any way to seeke out a fault or to have any distrust of the harty affections of my Subjects but but on the contrary when I came here as you all see I found the affection of my people to mee with great comfort Now I assure you I come with the same affection that you or any good people of the world can wish for I am far from disliking any thing I have done hitherto that if it were to be done againe even in the favour and good of my people that I protest I would do it again and whatsoever may be justly expected of mee for securing of religion and liberty of my people I shall not faile to doe it And therefore I shall mention no particular at this time but only the great particular of Ireland which Master Speaker did mention of which I doe not doubt but you have had a great care yet me thinkes thinges goe on flowly and I mention this more seasonably because a couple of noble men are come out of Scotland according to the petition and instructions which it pleased both houses to send to me at Barwicke which I instantly dispatched to the Councell there who now have the full disposall of thinges I spoke to them this morning and I desire both houses to appoint a select Committe to treat and end these businesses with them I have but this word to say that I assure you I have no other end but the happinesse of my people for their flourishing is my greater glory and there affection is my greatest strength
