royal blazon or coat of arms C R HONI SOIT x MAL Y PENSE Dieu ET MON DROIT. ¶ His majesty's second Message to the Parliament, concerning Sir John Hotham's refusal to give His majesty Entrance into His Town of HULL. WE are so much concerned in the undutiful affront (an indignity all Our good Subjects must disdain in Our behalf) We received from Sir John Hotham at Hull, that We are impatient till We receive justice from you; and are compelled to call again for an Answer, being confident (however you would be so careful, (though without Our consent) to put a Garrison into that Our Town, to secure it and Our Magazine against any attempt of the Papists) that you never intended to dispose and maintain it against us your sovereign: Therefore We require you forthwith (for the business will admit no delay) That you take some speedy course, that Our said Town and Magazine be immediately delivered up unto us, and that such severe exemplary proceedings be against those persons (who have offered us this insupportable affront and injury) as by the Law is provided: And till this be done, We shall intend no business whatsoever (other than the business of Ireland) For if We are brought into a Condition so much worse than any of Our Subjects, that whilst you all enjoy your privileges, and may not have your Possessions disturbed, or your Titles questioned, We only may be spoiled, thrown out of Our Towns, and Our goods taken from us; 'tis time to examine how We have lost those privileges, and to try all possible ways, by the help of God, The Law of the Land, and The affection of Our good Subjects, to recover them, and vindicate ourselves from those Injuries. And if We shall miscarry herein, We shall be the first Prince of this Kingdom that hath done so; having no other end, but to defend The true Protestant Profession, The Law of the Land, and The liberty of the Subject: And God so deal with us, as We continue in those Resolutions. ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty: And by the assigns of JOHN BILL. 1642.
