❧ His majesty's Answer to a Message sent to Him by the House of Commons, concerning Licences granted by Him to persons to go into Ireland.  
HIs majesty hath seen and considered the Message presented to Him by the Lord Compton and Master Baynton, the 19th of March, 1641. at York, Touching such persons as have been licenced by his majesty to pass into Ireland.  
Though He will not insist upon what little Reason they had to suspect that some ill-affected persons had passed into Ireland, under colour of His majesty's Licence (Inferences being slender Proofs to ground belief upon) yet He must needs avow, That for any thing that is yet Declared, He cannot see any ground why Master Pym should so boldly affirm before both Houses of Parliament, That since the stop upon the Ports by both Houses against all Irish Papists, many of the chief Commanders now in the head of the rebels, have been suffered to pass by his majesty's immediate Warrant; For as yet there is not any particular person named that is now so much as in Rebellion (much less in the head of the rebels) to whom His majesty hath given Licence;  
And therefore according to His majesty's Reply upon that Subject, His majesty expects, That His House of Commons publish such a Declaration, whereby this mistaking may be cleared, That so all the World may see His majesty's Caution in giving of Passes; and likewise, That His Ministers have not abused His majesty's Trust, by any surreptitious Warrants.  
And lastly, His majesty expects, That henceforth there be more wariness used, before such public Aspersions be laid, unless the Grounds be beforehand better warranted by sufficient Proofs.
