His Maiesties reuniting himselfe with the Parliament THe methode of our happinesse hath of a long time been anticipated and kept from us by invective and malevolent persons the Parliaments endeavours been extenuated by deeracting its power and priviledges the safety and prosperity of the Common-wealth deferred and the hope of the loyall subiects deiected by the many differences falling betwixt the King and Parliament in State affairs through the perswasive delusions of such as rather desire to prosecute the motions of evill then propogate the truth and labour the Kingdoms good How happy then are we now and how much are we bound to praise the name of the Almighty that hath been pleased to remove these lets and to inspire his Maiesty with a care of his Kingdome to ioyne with the Parliament to confiscate their grievances as by the sequell wil appeare The one and twentieth of Ianuary his Maiesty being at Windsor and being often moved by some well-minded subiects to ioyne with the Parliament for the setling of Religion peace and tranquility of his Kingdome shewing the divers inconveniences which were like to ensue in respect of the division and difference betwixt his Maiesty and the Parliament the matter being debated before him and finding the eminent dangers like to follow without a sudden agreement was pleased to give this gratious answer That whatsoever had beene remissely hitherto and contrary to the will of the Parliament commanded and authorized by him should be called in and that hereafter hee would altogether ioyne with them for the consummating of his Kingdomes peace and happinesse and to that intent sent a Message to the Parliament concerning the same Whereupon it was resolved by the Parliament and his Maiesty that on the Munday following the Bishops should be called to the triall and the Articles exhibited against them to bee produced and that they as it is alledged being the first grievance which disturbs the present Parliament as they should be found guilty to receive punishment according to thir deserts And next that the innovations concerning superstititious ceremonies should bee made utterly voyd that the tyrannicall power of their Court and exaction by them used should be reformed acording to the statute made in Q. Elizabeths dayes to that effect Anno 1593. As for other matters concerning the setling of peace in this his Maiesties Kingdome hee sent his resolution in this manner That whatsoever they should finde convenient for the procuring of the aforesaid peace he would be conformable unto them as far as it might stand with his Honour and Maiesticke dignity against which he was verilily perswaded there wus none of them that should degrade or goe As concerning the Parliaments motion to him to lay open to them who they were that devised those opprobrious Articles against those worthy Statesmen the Lord Kimbolton M. Denfil Hollis M. Pym Sir Arthur Haslerig M. Hamden and M. Stroud whereby they are chalenged to be guilty of high treason against the State being so opprobriously false and wicked that wee humbly desire your Maiesty to manifest the authours of the said false accusation against so worthy friends for it cannot bee otherwise conceived but that they who sought to pick holes in the coats of our best men cannot bee free themselves from blemish whereupon his Maiesties answer was that hee would not produce them but notwithstanding they should not bee concealed but manifest themselves as occasion shall serve hereafter But as for the Articles they were called in already cleared to their honor and credit His Maiesty likewise made a motion concerning the danger of Ireland and desired assistance by counsell of them for a remedy Whereunon the Parliament sits ever since concerning the Irish affaires The Parliament likewise intreated his Maiesties favour concerning some course to be taken for disarming the Papists in England at least to quell their superbious rising to the great affright and disaster of the Citie mentioning thier sudden commotion about the Parliament house their ioyning with Digby and Lunsford in hostile manner and their continuall ●●estering wordes and threates by some of their adherents to the terrour of all his Maiesties loyall subiects his Maiesty was pleased to grant this gratious reply that seeing they so well apprehended the grievance they should proceed to provide a remedy and as he should finde the motion honourable he would be ready to signe to it the Parliament making it so palpably appeare against the Recusants concerning their sowing sedition in his Maiesties Realmes by endeavouring to subvert the fundamentall lawes of this Kingdome and have endeavoured by many aspersions upon the Parliament and its industry to alienate the affection of his Maiesty from Parliaments and make it seeme odious unto him and are to be suspected lest they have invited and encouraged forraigne Nations against us to invade his Maiesties Kingdome of England as well as to detract the Kingdome of Ireland and endeavour to settle it upon their owne faction by ploting to subvert the very ends and being of Parliament And for compleating their traiterous designes they have endevored as much as in them lay by their traiterous insinuations and perswasions to his Maiesty to compell the Parliament to yeeld to their untollerably false accusations and to ioyne with them in their traiterous designes and to that end have actually raised and countenanced tumults against King and Parliament for whatsoever is against the State must needs entirely concerne his Maiesty The King being moved with these reall instigations gave leave and authority to the Parliament to remove these doubts as aforesaid These are the briefe particulars of his Maiesties favour toward us whose care i beyond expression whose indulgent and laborious endeavours for the setling of Religion and piety are quotidiall and whose mercies towards us in permitting us to enjoy such hopes of ensuing happinesse are exemplary that wee should prove ungratefull unto God if not to give him the praise of inspiring this influence of grace into his Maiesty and disloyall to his Maiesty if not to extoll his wonderfull bounty for whose honour long life and peace upon earth and everlasting glory after death wee daily pray for now and ever The 22. of this present moneth of Ianuary the Kings Maiesty was desirous to goe to Wodstocke and to that intent sent to the Officers of his Carriages to provide for the same against Munday who replied that they durst not without commission Whereupon returning to his Maistie they received commission from him which they likewise denied to obey because it was not likewise authorized by the Parliament their answer was that without further order they would stirre no further and that they had rather and with more alacrity carry him home then carry him further from home Wherupon it was left to further consideration FINIS
