London, Printed for I. H. and T. R. 1642. The King's Majesty's Speech to the LORDS for the raising of Forces to maintain the peace and safety of His Subjects. My Lords, THe last time I was in this place I minded you to make what speed you could to raise Forces to reduce the tyranising people, which will not obey my command to a Loyal subjection, the same I shall now include, for I above all things in the world prise the peace and safety of my good Subjects, and of all Rebellion I hate that of the Popish Faction, I hear daily of the woeful estate of my People, and do understand how my House of Commons have passed a Bill for the raising of Forces, and that the Bill sticks with you my Lords, for whach I give you no thanks, as to the Declaration, I have no pleasure in that, but that Actions may be transacted, in matter of such consequence, this is the full effect of the Speech. The Roport made by Master Pym. Still do the Protestants echo forth lameetable complaints, and as it were despair of safety, for it was reported to the committee for Irish affairs, that that more Counties have collected their Forces, and join with the Rebels, They are marched within 4. Miles of Dublin, pillaging of Houses, and driving away Cattles, and stop the passages from whence they received provision, to the great grief and fear of his Majesty's good Subjects, the Protestants of Ireland, the Rebels made public proclemation, and maintained it, with a general Oath for to be all true to the Church of Rome. also they proclaim and confess that King Charles is their lawful King and governor, making a Vow and Protestation. They took up Arms in defence of their Religion, not in contempt or malice against his Majesty, to which intent they spoke to the Lord Dillon, to send Letters to the King's Majesty, but this can be no better dissemblation, for they which love the King will not persecute his Loyal people by fire and Sword, as they have and daily do, and yet will make us believe they love the King, from their power Lord keep him for ever, and never let him be so unfortunate as to fall into their hands, for then upon my life I am persuaded they would exile from their hearts both duty, love, and mercy, two Suns must not shine in one climate, Tyrone must have nothing to do where King Charles hath Authority. Although now he exalt himself as his Father did before him, let him quickly return to his Spanish preferment, from England, Scotland, or Jreland. Other Letters came that the Rebels expected Ammunition from foreign parts, that the old Proverb maybe made true, the Devil helps his servants. Wherefore the Lord chief justices of Jreland, desired the Parliament to send their poor Subjects and friends some relief of Men and Money, about which there did arise some debate concerning sending of men out of this Kingdom, I mean also concerning a press unless it was done by Act of Parliament, but now it is resolved upon the Question that aid shall be speedily sent unto the poor afflicted Protestants in JRELAND, the Commanders in London look every day when their Commission should be sealed up, and then they enter into pay. A Conspiracy discovered against the High Court of Parliament. Upon the 17. of June, Mr. Fines made a Report to the Honourable Court, that there was a great Treason discovered against them, the Plotters whereof were, first. That Captain Goring should be a great Commander in the Army, and the Lord of Newcastle to meet them in Nottinghamshire with 1000 Horse. In which Conspiracy Sergeant Major Wallis saith, That the French would assist them, and the Clergy would at their own charge send 1000 horse, this Army was to be brought from the North against the Honourable Houses of Parliament. As it was Reported to both Houses by Mr. Hambden. A Letter sent from the Queen's Court in Holland, sent from Mr. Cayn her Majesty's Servant, to Mr. Sanders near Cheering-Crosse. SIR, I Having such a fit opportunity to present my Service unto you not knowing when to have the same again by reason of the great distempers which are with you.
