HIs Majesty having received an humble Petition of the Lords and Commons , by the hands of the Earls of Carlile and Monmouth , returns this answer ; That his dearest Consort , the Queen , and his dear Daughter , the Princesse Mary , being now upon their departure for Holland , He cannot have so good time to consider of a particular Answer for a matter of so great weight as this is , therefore He must respite the same untill His return . To the Kings most Excellent Majesty : The humble Petition of the Lords and Commons , concerning this Message . May it please Your most Excellent Majesty , YOur humble and loyall Subjects , the Lords and Commons , have , with a great deal of grief , received Your Majesties answer to their just and necessary Petition , concerning the Militia of the Kingdom ; which Your Majesty , by a gratious Message formerly sent unto them , was pleased to promise should be put into such hands as Your Parliament should approve of , or recommend unto You the extent of their power , and the time of their continuance being likewise declared . That being done , and the persons by both Houses nominated , Your Majesty , neverthelesse , referres Your resolution herein , to a longer , and a very uncertain time , which ( the present dangers and distractions so great and pressing ) is as unsatisfactory and destructive , as an absolute denyall . Therefore we once again beseeeh Your Majesty to take our desire into Your Royall thoughts , and to give us such an answer , as may raise in us a confidence that we shall not be exposed to the practises of those who thirst after the ruine of this Kingdom , and the kindling of that combustion in England , which they have , in so great a measure effected in Ireland ; from whence ( as we are dayly informed ) they intend and endeavour to invade us , with the the assistance of the Papists here amongst us . Nothing can prevent these evills , nor enable us to suppresse the Rebellion in Ireland and secure our selves , but the instant granting of that our humble Petition ; which we hope Your Majesty will not deny to those who must in the discharge of their duties both to Your Majesty and the Commonwealth , represent unto Your Majesty what they finde so absolutely necessary ; for the preservation of both which the Laws both of God and man enjoyn them to see put in execution , as severall Counties , by their daily Petitions , have desired of us , and in some places , begun already to do it of themselves . Resolved upon the Question , and assented unto , and Ordered , That Master Hollis carry it up to the Lords , to desire their concurrence herein . February 22. London , Printed for Ioseph Hunscott .
