Gentlemen , I Have cause of adding not altering , what I meant to say when I gave out the summons for this dayes appearance , I little thought of these Messengers , or of such a Message as they brought , the which , because it confirmes mee in what I intend to speake , and that I desire you should be truly informed of all passages between me and the Parliament , you shall here read , First , my answer to the Declaration of both Houses concerning Hull , the answer of the Parliament to my two Messages concerning Hull , together with my Reply to the same , and my Message to both Houses declaring the Reasons why I refused to passe the Bill concerning the Militia . All which being read his Majesty proceeded . I Will make no paraphrases upon what yee have heard , it more benefiting a Lawyer then a King , onely this observation , since Treason is countenanced so neere me , it is time to looke to my safety : I avow it was part of my wonder , that men ( whom I thought heretofore discreet , and moderate ) should have undertaken this imployment , and that since they came ( I having delivered them the Answer : you have heard , and commanded them to returne personally with it to the Parliament ) should have flatly disobeyed me upon pretence of the Parliaments command . My end in telling you this , is to warne you of them , for since these men have brought me such a Message , and disobeyed so lawfull a Command . I will not say what their intent of staying here is , onely I bid you take heed , not knowing what doctrine of disobedience they may preach to you , under colour of obeying the Parliament . Hitherto I have found and kept you quiet , the enjoying of which was a chiefe cause of my comming hither ( Tumults and disorders having made mee leave the South ) and not to make this a seat of Warre , as malice would ( but I hope in vaine ) make you beleeve ; Now if disturbances doe come , I know whom I have reason to suspect . To be short , you see that my Magazine is going to be taken from me ( being my owne proper goods ) directly against my will ; The Militia ( against Law and my consent ) is going to be put in Execution : And lastly , Sir Iohn Hothams Treason is countenanced ; All this considered none can blame me to Apprehend dangers . Therefore I have thought fit ( upon these reall Grounds ) to tell you , That I am resolved to have a Guard ( the Parliament having had one all this while upon imaginary Iealousies , ( onely to secure my person . In which I desire your concurrence and assistance , and that I may be able to protect you , the Lawes , and the true Protestant profession from any Affront or Injury that may be offered , which I meane to maintaine my selfe without charge to the Countrey , intending no longer to keepe them on foote , then I shall be secured of my just Apprehensions by having satisfaction in the particulars before mentioned . Printed at Yorke , and now reprinted at London by Alice Norton , for Humphrey Tuckey , at the Blacke spread Eagle in Fleet-street . 1642.
