Die Lunae 14. Febr. 1641. THough His Majestie is assured , that His having so suddenly passed these two Bills , being of so great importance , and so earnestly desired by both Houses , will serve to assure His Parliament , that He desires nothing more then the satisfaction of His Kingdom ; yet that He may further manifest to both Houses , how impatient He is till He finde out a full remedie to compose the present Distempers , He is pleased to signifie : That His Majestie will by Proclamation require , That all Statutes made concerning Recusants , be with all Care , Diligence , and Severity put in execution . That His Majestie is resolved , That the seven Condemned Priests shall be immediately Banished ( if His Parliament shall consent therunto : ) And His Majestie will give present Order ( if it shall be held fit by both Houses ) that a Proclamation issue , to require all Romish Priests within twenty dayes to depart the Kingdom ; and if any shall be Apprehended after that time , His Majestie assures both Houses , in the Word of a King , That He will grant no pardon to any such , without consent of His Parliament . And because His Majestie observes great and different Troubles to arise in the hearts of His People , concerning the Goverment and Liturgie of the Church , His Majestie is willing to declare , That He will refer that whole Consideration to the Wisdom of His Parliament , which He desires them to enter into speedily , that the present Distraction about the same may be composed : But desires not to be pressed to any single Act on His part , till the whole be so digested and setled by both Houses , that His Majestie may cleerly see what is fit to be left , as well as what is sit to be taken away . For Ireland ( in behalf of which His Majesties heart bleeds ) as His Majestie hath concurred with all Propositions made for that Service by His Parliament , so He is resolved to leave nothing undone for their Relief , which shall fall within His possible Power , nor will refuse to venter His owne Person in that War , if His Parliament shall think it convenient for the reduction of that miserable Kingdome . And lastly , His Majestie taking notice by severall Petitions of the great and generall decay of Trade in this Kingdom , and more particularly of that of Clothing , and new Draperies ( concerning which He received lately at Greenwich a modest , but earnest Petition from the Clothiers of Suffolk ) of which decay of Trade , His Majestie hath a very deep sence , both in respect of the extream want and poverty it hath brought , and must bring upon many thousands of His loving Subjects , and of the influence it must have in a very short time upon the very subsistence of this Nation , Doth earnestly recommend the consideraton of that great and weighty Businesse to both Houses ; Promising them , that He will most readily concur in any Resolution their Wisdoms shall finde out , which may conduce to so necessary a Work . ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie : And by the Assignes of John Bill .
