His Majesties Message to both Houses of Parliament, upon His removal to the City of york.  
HIS Majesty being now in His remove to His City of york, where he intends to make His residence for sometime, thinks fit to sand this message to both Houses of Parliament.  
That He doth very earnestly desire that they will use all possible industry in expediting the bunesse of Ireland, in which they shall find so cheerful a concurrence by his Majesty, that no inconvenience shall happen to that Service by his absence, He having all that passion for the reducing of that kingdom, which he hath expressed in his former messages, and being unable by words to manifest more affection to it, then he hath endeavoured to do by those Messages( having likewise done all such Acts as he hath been moved unto by his Parliament.) Therefore if the misfortunes and calamities of his poor Protestant Subjects there shall grow upon them( though his Majesty shall be deeply concerned in, and sensible of their sufferings) he shall wash his hands before all the World, from the least imputation of slackness in that most necessary and pious work.  
And that his Majesty may leave no way unattempted, which may beget a good understanding between Him and his Parliament: He thinks it necessary to declare, That as he hath been so tender of the privileges of Parliament, that he hath been ready and forward to retract any Act of his own, which he hath been informed hath trenched upon their privileges, so he expects an equal tenderness in them of his Majesties known and unquestionable privileges,( which are the privileges of the kingdom) amongst which, he is assured it is a fundamental one, That his Subjects cannot be obliged to obey any Act, Order or Injunction, to which his Majesty hath not given his consent: And therefore he thinks it necessary to publish, that he expects, and hereby requires obedience from all his loving subjects to the laws established, and that they presume not upon any pretence of Order or Ordinance( to which his Majesty is no party) concerning the Militia, or any other thing, to do or execute what is not warranted by those Laws, his Majesty being resolved to keep the laws himself, and to require obedience to them from all his subjects ▪  
And his Majesty once more recommends to his Parliament the substance of his message of the 20. of january last, that they may compose and digest with all speed such Acts as they shall think fit for the present and future establishment of their privileges, the free and quiet enjoying their estates and fortunes; the liberties of their persons; the security of the true Religion now professed in the Church of England; the maintaining his Majesties regal and just Authority, and settling his Revenue: His majesty being most desirous to take al fitting and just ways which may beget a happy understanding between him and his Parliament, in which he conceives his greatest power and riches doth consist.

That when the Lords and Commons in Parliament which is the supreme Court of judicature in the kingdom, shall declare what the laws of this Land is, to have this not onely questioned and controverted, but contradicted, and a command that it should not be obeied, is a high breach of the privilege of Parliament.
