Dieu ET MON DROIT.  ❧ His majesty's Message sent by the Lord Chamberlain to the House of Peers, the 28. of December. 1641.  
HIs majesty being very sensible of the great Miseries and Distresses of His Subjects in the kingdom of Ireland, which go daily increasing so fast, and the Blood which hath been already spilled by the cruelty and barbarousness of those Rebels, crying out so loud; and perceiving how slowly the Succours designed thither go on: His majesty hath thought fit to let your Lordships know, and desires you to acquaint the House of Commons therewith, That His majesty will take care, that by Commissions which He shall grant, ten thousand English volunteers shall be speedily raised for that Service, if so the House of Commons shall declare that they will pay them.
