SOME PASSAGES That happened the 9th. of March, between The King's majesty and the Committee of both Houses, When the Declaration was delivered.  
HONI ❀ SOIT ❀ QUI ❀ MAL ❀ Y ❀ pennies  
WHen His majesty heard that part of the Declaration which mentioned Master Jermyms Transportation, His majesty interrupted the Earl of Holland in reading, and said, That's false. Which being afterwards touched upon again, His majesty then said, 'tis a lie. And when he was informed, it related not to the Date, but the execution of the Warrant. His majesty said, it might have been better expressed then, and that it was a high thing to tax a King with breach of Promise. As for this Declaration, His majesty said, I could not have believed the Parliament would have sent me such a one, If I had not seen it brought by such persons of honour. I am sorry for the Parliament, but glad I have it: For by that, I doubt not to satisfy my People; though I am confident, the greater part is so already.  
Ye speak of ill counsels, but I am Confident, the Parliament hath had worse informations than I have had counsels, His majesty asking what he had denied the Parliament, The Earl of Holland instanced that of the Militia, his majesty replied, that was no Bill: the Earl of Holland then said, it was a necessary request at this time, and his majesty also then said, he had not denied it.  

What passed the next day, when his majesty delivered his Answer.  
WHich was read by the Earl of Holland to the rest of the Committee, And that being done His Lordship endeavoured to persuade his majesty to come near the Parliament. Whereunto his majesty answered, I would you had given me cause, but I am sure this Declaration is not the way to it. And in all Aristotle's rhetorics there is no such Argument of persuasion. The Earl of Pembroke thereupon telling him that the Parliament had humbly besought his majesty to come near them aforesaid. His majesty replied, He had learned by our Declaration, that words were not sufficient. His majesty being then again moved by the said Earl of Pembroke to express what he would have said. He would whip a Boy in Westminster school that could not tell that by his answer. And further said, They were much mistaken, if they thought his answer of that, a denial. And being also asked by the said Earl of Pembroke, Whether the Militia might not be granted, as was desired, by the Parliament, for a time. His majesty swore, By God, not for an hour; you have asked that of me in this, was never asked of a King, and with which I will not trust my Wife and Children.  His majesty said, The business of Jreland will never be done in the way that you are in, four hundred will never do that work. It must be put into the hands of One. If I were trusted with it, I would pawn my head, to end that work. And though I am a beggar myself, yet (speaking with a strong asseveration) I can find Money for that.
