A Replication of the LORDS and COMMONS Assembled in PARLIAMENT.  
TO His majesty's last Answer, sent by the Right honourable the Earl of HOLLAND.  
THE Lords and Commons in Parliament having taken into their consideration His majesty's Answer to their humble Petition for Peace, delivered by the Earl of Holland, Sir Philip Stapleton, and Sir John Holland, and the demands which he is thereupon pleased to make concerning the present delivery of the town of Hull, the Magazine, the navy, disavowing the Ordinance of the Militia, the laying down of all arms raised by Authority of the two Houses of Parliament and adjourning themselves to some other place, do beseech His majesty to accept this their most humble, and just excuse that they cannot for the present with the discharge of the trust reposed in them for the safety of the KING, and kingdom; yield to those demands of His Majesty; the Reason why they took into their custody the town of Hull, the Magazeen, and navy, passed the Ordinance of the Militia, and made preparation of arms, was for the security of Religion, the safety of His majesty's Person, of the kingdom, and Parliament, all which they did see in evident, and eminent Danger, from which when they shall be secured, And that the Forces of the kingdom shall not be used to the Destruction thereof, they shall then be ready to withdraw the Garrison out of Hull, to deliver the Magazeen, and navy, and settle the Militia by Bill, in such a way as shall be Honourable, and safe for His majesty, most agreeable to the duty of Parliament, and effectual for the good of the kingdom, as they have professed in their late Petition, and for Adjourning the Parliament: they Apprehend no Reason for His majesty to require it, nor security for themselves to consent to it. And as for that Reason which His majesty is pleased to express, they doubt not but the usual place will be as safe for His royal Person, as any other, considering the full assurance they have of the loyalty, and fidelity of the city of London to His majesty, and the care which His Parliament will ever have to prevent any danger, which His majesty may justly Apprehend; besides the manifold conveniences to be had there, beyond other parts of the Kingdom. And as for the laying down of arms, when the causes which moved them to provide for the Defence of His majesty, the kingdom and Parliament, and shall be taken away, they shall very willingly, and cheerfully forbear any further preparations, and lay down their Force already Raised.
