I Am confident that you expect not I should give you a speedy Answer to this strange and unexpected Declaration ; And I am sorry ( in the Distraction of this Kingdom ) you should think this way of Addresse to be more convenient , then that proposed by my Message of the 20th of Ianuary last to both Houses . As concerning the grounds of your Fears and Iealousies , I will take time to answer particularly , and doubt not but I shall do it to the satisfaction of all the World . God , in his good time , will , I hope , discover the secrets and bottoms of all Plots and Treasons ; and then I shall stand right in the eyes of all my People . In the mean time , I must tell you , that I rather expected a Vindication for the Imputation laid on me in Master Pims Speech , then that any more generall Rumours and Discourses should get credit with you . For my Fears and Doubts , I did not think they should have been thought so groundlesse or triviall , while so many Seditious Pamphlets and Sermons are looked upon , and so great Tumults are remembred , unpunished , uninquired into : I still confesse my Fears , and call God to Witnesse , That they are greater for true Protestant Profession , my People and Laws , then for my own Rights or Safety ; though I must tell you , I conceive that none of these are free from danger . What would you have ? Have I violated your Laws ? Have I denied to passe any one Bill for the ease and securitie of my Subjects ? I do not ask you what you have done for Me . Have any of my People been transport with Fears and Apprehensions ? I have offered as free and generall a Pardon , as your selves can devise . All this considered , There is a Iudgement from Heaven upon this Nation , if these Distractions continue . God so deal with Me and Mine , as all my Thoughts and Intentions are upright for the maintenance of the true Protestant Profession , and for the Observation and Preservation of the Laws of this Land : And , I hope , God will blesse and assist those Laws for my Preservation . As for the Additionall Declaration , you are to expect an Answer to it , when you shall receive the Answer to the Declaration it self . ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of John Bill . 1641.
