The King's speech in Parliament the 7. day of june. 1628. THe answer I have already given you, was made with good deliberation, and approved by the judgement of many Wisemen, that I could not have imagined, but that it should have given you full satisfaction: But to avoid all ambiguous interpretations, and to show you, that there is no doubleness in My meaning, I am willing to please You in words, as well, as in substance, read Your Petition, and You shall have an answer, that I am sure will please you. The Petition being read, the King confirmed it with these words following. SOIT DROIRT FACT COME ILZ DESIRONT. Let right be done as they desire. This I am sure is full, yet no more than I granted in My answer, for the meaning of that, was to confirm all your Liberties, knowing, (according to your own protestations,) that you neither mean, nor can hurt my Prerogative: And I assure you, my Maxim is; that the People's liberty strengthens the King's Prerogative; and that the King's Prerogative, is to defend the People's liberty. You see how ready I have showed myself, to satisfy your demands; so that I have done my part, wherefore, if this Parliament have not a happy conclusion, the sin is yours, I am free from it. God save the King.
