April . 22. 1642. HIs Majestie having seen a Printed Paper , entituled , A Question answered how Laws are to be understood , and Obedience yeelded ; ( which Paper He sends together with this Message ) thinks fit to recommend the consideration of it to His House of Peers , that they may use all possible care and diligence for the finding out the Author , and may give directions to His learned Councell , to proceed against Him and the publishers of it , in such a way as shall be agreeable to Law and the course of Justice , as persons who indeavour to stir up Sedition against His Majestie . And His Majestie doubts not but they will be very sensible how much their own particular Interest ( as well as the publike government of the Kingdom ) is , and must be shaken , if such Licence shall be permitted to bold factious spirits to withdraw His Subjects strict obedience from the Laws established , by such Seditious and Treasonable distinctions . And of Doctrines of this nature His Majestie doubts not but that their Lordships will publish their great dislike , it being grown into frequent Discourse , and vented in some Pulpits ( by those desperate turbulent Preachers , who are the great Promotors of the distempers of this time ) That humane Laws do not binde the Conscience ; which being once beleeved , the civill Government and Peace of the Kingdom will be quickly dissolved . His Majestie expects a speedy account of their Lordships exemplary Justice upon the Authors and Publishers of this Paper . ¶ Imprinted at York by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of JOHN BILL . 1642.
