LONDON, Printed by R. Olton and G. Dexter, for John Wright. An. Dom. MDCXLII.   

HIS MAJESTY'S GRACIOUS ANSWER TO THE PROPOSITIONS made by the City of London, for the relief of Jreland.  
HIS Majesty being very glad to receive any Proposition that may repair the Calamity of his distressed Kingdom of Jreland, especially when it may be without burden or Imposition. And for the ease of His good Subjects of this Kingdom, hath graciously considered the Overture made by both Houses of Parliament to that purpose, and returns this Answer:  
THat as he hath offered and is still ready to venture his own Regal Person for recovery of that Kingdom, if his Parliament shall advise him thereunto; so he will not deny to Contribute any other Assistance he can to that service, by parting with any profit or advantage of his own there: and therefore (relying upon the wisdom of his Parliament) doth consent to every Proposition now made to him, without taking time to examine whether this Course may not retard the reducing of that Kingdom, by exasperating the Rebels, and rendering them desperate of being received into Grace, if they shall return to their obedience.  
And his Majesty willbe ready to give his Royal Assent to all such Bills as shall be tendered unto him by his Parliament, for the confirmation of every particular of this Proposition etc.   

Die Martis 22. Feb. 1641.  
THe Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament are very sensible of the care and affection of the Council of Scotland in offering the endeavours of so eminent a Person as the marquis of Argile, for the good and peace of both Kingdoms, but finding the present State of Ireland to be such, as that for want of his Residence in the Kingdom of Scotland; the Rebels of Ireland may take great advantage, whereby the Peace of both Kingdoms may be disturbed; and considering the power to be given by Commission from his Majesty, and the marquis of Argile or his Deputy, to raise Forts for the Service of the Kingdom of Jreland. The Lords and Commons conceive that the presence of a person of his worth, and Power, will be much more necessary at this time in this Kingdom of Scotland then his Repair hither, for however the proceed of Parliament have met with such Obstructions as have put the affairs of this Kingdom into some dfficulties: yet they are now in hope that by the Providence of God, and the goodness and justice of his Majesty there will be so happy and speedy an Issue thereof, as shall produce the Peace and Prosperity of the Kingdoms, to which they find the Commissioners of Scotland here residing, so ready, upon all occasions, to contribute their best endeavours with great wisdom, and affection, that they desire neither the Lord Chancellor (whom We likewise understand to be in the Commission for the Treaty) nor marquis of Argile, may now be put to the Incommodity, and trouble of so long a journey, they being both persons of so great merit, & Honour, as doth not only place them in a high Degree of estimation throughout this whole Kingdom, especially in Parliament; but very much increase, and confirm our confidence, that by their advice and assistance with the authority of the Council of State in Scotland, the supply for Ireland will be furthered in their Transportation, and likewise followed with such Council, and direction, as may advance his Majesty's service there, for reducing that Kingdom, and preserving the Interest of his Crown: for which we shall always make a thankful return and acknowledgement.   

Dies Jovis. FEB. 24. 1641.  
THE Lords and Commons in Parliament do humbly desire his Majesty,  
That the Prince may not be removed from HAMPTON Court: And that for these ensuing Reasons.  
1. They conceive his Majesty had resolved that the Prince should stay at Hampton Court until his Majesty's return.  
2. That the Lord marquis Hertford appointed by his Majesty to be Governor of the Prince, and approved of, and commanded by the Parliament to give his personal attendance on the Prince, is now so indisposed in his health, that he is not able to attend the Prince to any other Place.  
3. That the Prince his removal at this time from Hampton Court may be a cause to promote jealousies and fears in the hearts of his Majesty's good Subjects.
