We humbly pray, That in a time when all these are so highly concerned, Your Majesty will effectually use Your Great Council the Parliament.  
SIR, Out of the deepest sense of Duty and Loyalty to Your Majesty, We offer it as our Humble Advice and Earnest Petition, That the Parliament may sit at the time appointed; And that Your Majesty would be Graciously pleased to give Public Notice and Assurance thereof, that the Minds of Your Majesty's Subjects may be settled, and their Fears removed.

With whom the Earl of Bedford had personally joined, but that by a sudden indisposition he was prevented.  
It was delivered by the Earl of Huntingdon, in the Name of the  Lords. And they were introduced to His Majesty by his Highness' Prince Rupert.  
His Majesty was Graciously pleased to return this Answer.  
THat He would consider of what they had offered, and could hearty wish that all other People were as solicitous for the Good and Peace of the Nation as he would ever be.  
By the Statute 13. Car. 2. Cap. 5.  
It is Enacted that after the first of August, 1661. no Person or Persons whatsoever shall repair to His Majesty upon pretence of presenting or delivering any Petition, Complaint, Remonstrance, Declaration, or other Addresses, accompanied at any one time with above the number of ten Persons.  
Which is supposed to be the reason why no greater Number of the Lords were personally present.
