THE REASONS OF THE House of Commons To Stay the QUEEN'S going into Holland. Delivered to the Lords, at a Conference the 14 of july. By John Pym Esq; Delivered the 15 to his Majesty; in presence or both Houses, by my Lord Banks. fleur-de-lis Printed Anno. 1641. The Reasons of the HOUSE OF COMMONS, To stay the Queen's going into HOLLAND. THere is great cause to doubt, lest the Papists have some design upon her Majesty's Journey, because the House hath been informed that divers of them have sold off their Lands to a good value, and used other means to get ready money. 2. It is observed some of them have been very deligent, gathering great quantities of gold. 3. It is informed that more than an ordinary number of Papists are gone beyond Sea already, and those of the bettor sort. II. The great number of English fugitives now beyond the Seas, who by their late designs and practices, are known to be full of malice to the State, and will no doubt seek all opportunities of access to her Majesty; and as much as they can labour to infuse into her such evil Counsels, as may trouble the peace or the Kingdom, whereof at this time there is more danger, because the affairs of the Kingdom are not yet fully settled, and upon disbanding of the Army, all parts are like to abound with Soldiers, and such others as will be apt to be provoked to tumults, and seditions; especially in the time of the King's absence in Scotland. III. That the House of Commons have received information of great quantity of Treasure in Jewels, Plate, and ready Money, packed up to be conveyed away with the Queen, not only in such a proportion, as the present occasions with due respect to her Majesty's honour, may seem to require but a fare greater quantity, and that divers Papists and others, under pretence of her Majesty's goods, are like to convey great sums of money, and other Treasure beyond the Seas, which will not only impoverish the State, but may be employed to the fomenting some mischievous attempts, to the trouble of the public Peace. iv That as it will be a great dishonour to the State, if her Majesty should not be attended and furnished suitably to her quality, so it will be a very heavy burden in this time of great necessity, and occasions of other public charges, if she shall be provided in so Royal a manner, as shall be fit for her Majesty, and the honour of the King and Kingdom. V That because we understand by Sir Theodore Mayerne, that the chief cause of her Majesty's Sickness, and distempers, proceed from some discontent of her mind; the House of Commons have thought good to declare, that if any thing within the power of Parliament may give her majesty contentment, they are so tender of her health, both in due respect to his most Excellent Majesty, and herself, that they will be ready to further he satisfaction in all things, so fare as may stand with that public, to which they are obliged. VI That the Commons conceive it will be some dishonour to this Nation if her Majesty should at this unseasonable time go out of the Kingdom, upon any grief or discontent received here, and therefore we shall labour by all good means to take away, and prevent all just occasions of her Majesty's trouble, in such manner, as may further her content, and therein her health, which will be a very great comfort, and joy ●o ourselves, and the rest of His Majesty's loving Subjects.
