❧ The King's Message to both Houses. January 12. 1641. Hhis' majesty taking notice that some conceive it disputable whether His proceedings against my Lord Kymbolton, Master Hollis, Sir Arthur Haslerig, Master Pym, Master Hampden, and Master Strode, be legal and agreeable to the privileges of Parliament, and being very desirous to give satisfaction to all men in all matters that may seem to have relation to privilege, is pleased to wave His former Proceedings: and all doubts by this means being settled, when the minds of men are composed, His majesty will proceed thereupon in an unquestionable way: And assures His Parliament that upon all occasions He will be as careful of their privileges, as of His Life or his Crown. ❧ His majesty's Profession and Addition to His last Message to the Parliament. Jan. 14. 1641. Hhs' majesty being no less tender of the privileges of Parliament, and thinking himself no less concerned, that they be not broken, and that they be asserted and vindicated whensoever they are so, than the Parliament itself, Hath thought fit to add to His last Message, this Profession, That in all His Proceedings against the Lord Kymbolton, Mr Hollis, Sir Arthur Haslerig, Mr pym, Mr Hampden, and Mr Strode, He had never the least Intention of violating the least privilege of Parliament; And in case any doubt of breach of privileges remain, will be willing to clear that, and assert those, by any reasonable way that His Parliament shall advise Him to. Upon confidence of which, He no way doubts His Parliament will forthwith lay by all jealousies, and apply themselves to the public and pressing Affairs, and especially to those of Ireland, wherein the good of this Kingdom, and the true Religion (which shall ever be His majesty's first care) are so highly and so nearly concerned: And His majesty assures himself, that His care of their privileges will increase their tenderness of His lawful Prerogative, which are so necessary to the mutual defence of each other; and both which will be the foundation of a perpetual perfect Intelligence between His majesty and Parliaments, and of the happiness and Prosperity of His People. ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty: And by the assigns of JOHN BILL. 1641.
