A Message sent unto His Majesty , by a speciall Committee of both Houses , concerning the present dangers of this Kingdom . Most gratious Soveraign , YOur Majesties most loyall and obedient Subjects , the Lords and Commons in Parliament , do finde their just Apprehensions of sorrow and fear , in respect of the publike dangers , and miseries like to fall upon your Majestie and the Kingdom to be much encreased , upon the receipt of your unexpected denyall of their most humble and necessary Petition , concerning the Militia of the Kingdom ; Especially grieving , that wicked and mischievous Councellors should still have that power with your Majestie , as in this time of Imminent and approaching ruine ; Rather to encline your Resolutions to that which is apt to further the accomplishment of the desires of the most malignant enemies of Gods true Religion , and of the peace and safetie of your self , and your Kingdom , then to the dutifull and faithfull Councell of your Parliament . Wherefore they are enforced in all humility to protest , that if your Majestie shall persist in that denyall , the dangers and distempers of the Kingdom are such , as will indure no longer delay : But unlesse you shall be gratiously pleased to assure to them by these Messengers , that you will speedily apply your Royall Assent to the satisfaction of their former desires , they shall be enforced , for the safetie of your Majestie and your Kingdoms , to dispose of the Militia by the Authoritie of both Houses , in such manner as hath been propounded to your Majestie , and they resolve to do it accordingly . They likewise most humbly beseech your Majestie to believe , That the dangerous and desperate designe upon the House of Commons , mentioned in their Preamble , was not inserted with any intention to cast the least aspersion upon your Majestie , but therein they reflected upon that malignant party , of whose bloudie and malitious practices they have had so often experience , and from which they can never be secure , unlesse your Majestie will be pleased to put from you those wicked and unfaithfull Counsellors , who interpose their own corrupt and malitious designes betwixt your Majesties goodnesse and wisedom , and the prosperitie and contentment of your Self , and of your people : And that for the dispatch of the great Affairs of the Kingdom , the safetie of your Person , the protection and comfort of your Subjects , you will be pleased to continue your abode neer to London and the Parliament , and not to withdraw your Self to any other remoter Parts ; which if your Majesty should do , must needs be a cause of great dammage and destruction . That your Majestie will likewise be gratiously pleased to continue the Princes Highnesse in these parts at St. James , or any other of your Houses neer London , whereby the designes which the enemies of the Religion and Peace of this Kingdom may have upon his Person , and the jealousies and fears of your people may be prevented . And they beseech your Majestie to be informed by them , That by the Laws of the Kingdom , the power of raising , ordering , and disposing the Militia , within any Citie , Town , or other place , cannot be granted to any Corporation by Charter , or otherwise , without the authoritie and consent of Parliament ; And that those parts of the Kingdom which have put themselves in a posture of defence against the common danger , have therein done nothing , but according to the Declaration and Direction of both Houses , and what is justifiable by all the Laws of this Kingdom . All which their most humble counsell and desires , they pray your Majestie to accept , as the effect of that Dutie and Allegiance which they owe unto you , and which will not suffer them to admit of any thoughts , intentions , or endeavours , but such as are necessary and advantagious for your Majesties Greatnesse and Honor , and the safetie and prosperity of the Kingdom , according to that Trust and Power which the Laws have reposed in them . London , Printed for Ioseph Hunscott . 1641.
