January 20. 1641. HIs Majestie perceiving the manifold distractions which are now in this Kingdom , which cannot but bring great inconvenience and mischiefs to this whole Government ; In which as His Majestie is most chiefly interessed , so He holds Himself by many Reasons , most obliged to do what in Him lies , for the preventing thereof ; Though He might justly expect ( as most proper for the duty of Subjects ) that Propositions for the Remedies of these Evils , ought rather to come to Him then from Him ; Yet His fatherly care of all His people being such , that He will rather lay by any particular respect of His own Dignity , then that any time should be lost for prevention on of these threatning Evils , which cannot admit the delayes of the ordinary proceedings in Parliament ; doth think fit to make this ensuing Proposition to both Houses of Parliament : That they will with all speed fall into a serious consideration of all those particulars , which they shall hold necessary , as well for the upholding and maintaining of His Majesties ●ust and Regall Authority , and for the setling of His Revenue ; As for the present and fu●e establishment of their Priviledges ; The free and quiet enjoying of their Estates and fortunes ; The Liberties of their Persons ; The security of the true Religion now professed in the Church of England ; And the setling of Ceremonies , in such a manner as may take away all just offence . Which when they shall have digested , and composed into one entire body , that so His Majestie and themselves may be able to make the more clear Iudgement of them ; it shall then appear by what His Majestie shall do , how far He hath been from intending or designing any of those things , which the too great Fears and Iealousies of some Persons seem to apprehend ; And how ready He will be to equall and exceed the greatest Examples of the most indulgent Princes in their Acts of Grace and Favour to their People . So that if all the present Distractions ( which so apparantly threaten the ruine of this Kingdom ) do not ( by the blessing of Almighty God ) end in an happy and blessed Accommodation ; His Majestie will then be ready to call Heaven and Earth , God and Man to witnesse , that if hath not failed on His part . ¶ Imprinted at York by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL . 1642.
