HONI SOIT x MAL Y PENSE  
Dieu ET MON DROIT.  ❧ His majesty's Message to the House of Peers. April. 22. 1642.  
HIs majesty having seen a Printed Paper, entitled, A Question answered how Laws are to be understood, and Obedience yielded; (which Paper He sends together with this Message) thinks fit to recommend the consideration of it to His House of Peers, that they may use all possible care and diligence for the finding out the Author, and may give directions to His learned council, to proceed against Him and the publishers of it, in such a way as shall be agreeable to Law and the course of Justice, as persons who endeavour to stir up Sedition against His majesty. And His majesty doubts not but they will be very sensible how much their own particular Interest (as well as the public government of the Kingdom) is, and must be shaken, if such Licence shall be permitted to bold factious spirits to withdraw His Subjects strict obedience from the Laws established, by such Seditious and Treasonable distinctions. And of Doctrines of this nature His majesty doubts not but that their Lordships will publish their great dislike, it being grown into frequent Discourse, and vented in some Pulpits (by those desperate turbulent Preachers, who are the great Promotors of the distempers of this time) That human Laws do not bind the Conscience; which being once believed, the civil Government and Peace of the Kingdom will be quickly dissolved. His majesty expects a speedy account of their lordship's exemplary Justice upon the Authors and Publishers of this Paper.
