HIS majesty's MOST gracious answer  
To the Proposition of both houses of Parliament for Ireland sent the Twenty fourth of February 1642.  
HIs majesty being Glad to receive any proposition that may repair the Calamity of his; distressed kingdom of Ireland, 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 royal person for the 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 this 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 will be 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.
