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 concernes 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 heare read , First my Answer to their 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 ye have heard it were more befitting a Lawyer then a King onely this observation , since Treason is countenanced so neare Me it is time to look to my safety , I avow it was part of my wonder , that men ( whom I thought heretofore discreete and moderate should have undertaken this Imployment , and that since they came ( I have 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 Parliament 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 intend of saying here is , only I did 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 enoying of which was a chiefe cause of my coming hither . ( Tumults & ●isorders having made me leave the South ) and not to make this a seat of Warre , as malice would ( but I hope in vaine ) make you believe . Now if disturbances doe come I know whom I have reason to suspect . To be short , you see that my Magazin is going to be taken away from me ( being mine own proper goods ) directly against my will , the ●●litia ( against Law and my Consent ) is going to be put in execution : And lastly Sir Iohn Hotham , 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 white upon imaginary Iealousies ) only 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 Country intending no longer to Keepe them on foot , then I shall be secured of my apprehensions ; by having satisfaction in the particulars before mentioned .
