Great Britain's joy, FOR The long desired and happy Union between the King and Parliament.  
To the great Comfort of all true Protestants, and the astonishment of Papists, Pope, and DEVIL.  
HItherto the endeavours of both King, Parliament and Subjects, have been to redress those evils, and expulse such pernicious designs as have been endeavoured against us by the malignant party of this Kingdom; which although never so sedulous and vigilant, yet have the dangers by them invented, always found a repercussion upon their own heads, through the care of this State-governing Parliament, and although they have been very diligent in sowing weeds of divisions amongst us; yet our worthy Gardiner's have pulled them up by the roots, that the Flowers of Religion, loyalty, faith and fidelity, might flourish, through the removal of our adversaries, sigh that our disconsolate cares have been so invoked to provide for resistance of these aforesaid evils, how welcome and acceptable would the news of a remedy be? The Cite that so long hath been troubled, frighted and perturbed with civil commotions, and inexpressible dangers, how would it show forth the garlands of good will, the Plumes of Peace, and Ensigns of Loyalty, upon so happy an alteration? How would the Protestant rejoice, and as it were be involved in gladness, to see the Papists and their heretical adherents, either converted or ashamed? Such is the news I mean to treat on, so happy as it goes beyond expression to nominate, and as real as it seems happy. These grievances have principally been inverted upon us by his Majesty's disagreeing with the Parliament, by the persuasions of some who were but seeming wellwishers to the State. To change these occasions of sorrow into happiness, His Majesty hath been pleased, considering the manifold inconveniences that he might incur upon his Kingdom and himself, by losing the affections of his Subjects, by this so ominous accounted disseveration, hath been since graciously pleased to unite himself with all alacrity and of his own freewill with them for the consummation of his Subjects good s●●ling of a perfect peace, and dissolving all doubts concerning the former disagreement for ever, as followeth.  
That whereas the continual perturbance of the times had proved grievous and burdensome unto him, in respect of the conversant commotions arising through his Nonresidence with them at London, his Majesty was resowed for a speedy return, thereby to confiscate and abolish these their sorrows: As also that his hopes of and concerning this gracious message on Monday, being the fourteenth of February last, should have produced some such effect, as by offering what was fit on their parts to do: as also for this Majesty to granr, might beget a mutual confidence in each other; His Majesty therefore further desired that those his good hopes might not be frustrated, and so his endeavours prove vain and to no purpose; but rather that they would with sedulous diligence labour to strengthen and enable them any way to debilitate or weaken the same reciprocal conjunction, or mutual laborious co-operation.  
And furthermore, forasmuch as this his Kingdom of England was very much distressed, & in continual fear through the want of exercised force (though for soldier there be sufficient, & by reason that his Majesty's chief Fortresses towards the seacoasts were unfortified, & so the less able to make resistance against invasion, they having manifested as much unto his Majesty, & in care of his Realm, and preservation of the secure peace and tranquillity of his subjects. He Royally desired that the present Parliament would speedily set about, and expeditiously contrive a remedy; and he in that, as in all other reasonable motions, as fare as might stand with his Honour, would mutually join in assistance towards the rectifying of the same.  
As for the Petitions of several Counties delivered and humbly preferred to the Parliament, for the relief of these and other such like grievances of his Kingdom, most especially concerning the grounds of Protestant Religion; which hath been abused, and little set by, since the Bishops introducing, bringing in, and forcibly maintaining, contrary to the consciences, of the well-affected Protestants, of superstitious and Papistical ceremonies, his Majesty was graciously pleased with zeal and firm devotion to the truth, to importune a reformation of the same, thereby to gain his subject's love and affection, and procure them so long-looked for and ever to be desired peace.  
To the which end, Wren, and the other Bishops found tardy, and to be delinquents concerning this occasion in and against the safety of the State, and propagaring of Religion, that seeing they were found guilty, and the matter of so high consequence (as concerning their censure, it was ordered) that they being the Metropolitans of the Church, and principal Clergy of the Kingdom, they should be delivered over to the upper House, to receive censure from the Honourable Peers, concerning their misdemeanours, the which his Majesty earnestly desired, and consented unto.  
Thus was the Unity begun, which we daily pray to continue.  
FINIS.
