THE Queen's  
Speech as it was delivered to the House of Commons by Sir Thomas Jermyn controller, July 21, 1641.  
WHen the Parliament did the other day express their affections to me, in taking into consideration the journey which I had resolved on for the recover● of my health, and represented a desire of my stay with a tender care of removing all occasions of my indisposition, I could not then give a positive answer, such as I desired for their satisfaction, because I knew not that my health would give way unto it: but since that time I have resolved to venture my health, and for complying with their desires not to go, since my presence here will be acceptable unto them, and that they conceive it will be for the good of the kingdom, for I desire ●●thing more, then to let you see that I shall in all things be ready to gratify them, and to serve the State, though, as I then said, with the hazard of my life.
