HIS MAIESTIES ANSWER TO THE LAST MESSAGE AND RESOLVTION OF BOTH HOVSES OF PARLIAMNT
Concerning the Militia and the Prince.

2. March 1641

I Am so much amased at this Message, that I know not what to answer, you speake of Ielosies and feares, lay your hands to you Hearts, and aske your selves whether I may not likewise bee disturbed with Feares and Ielosies; and if so, I assure you this Message hath nothing lessened them.

For the Militia I thought so much of it before I sent that answer, and am so much assured that the answer is agreeable to what in Iu­stice or Reason you can aske, or I in Honour Grant, that I shall not alter it in any point.

For my residence neere you I wish it might bee safe and Honora­ble, that I had no cause to absent my selfe from White-Hall, aske your selves whether I have not.

For my Sonne I shall take care of him, which shall Justifie mee to God as a Father, and to my Dominions as a King.

To conclude J Assure you upon my Honour, that I have no thought but of Peace and Iustice to my people, which J shall by all faire meanes seeke to preserve and maintaine, relying upon the goodnesse and provi­dence of God for the preservative of my selfe and Rights.
