WE are so much concerned in the undutifull affront (an indignity all Our good Subjects must disdain in Our behalf) We received from Sir John Hotham at Hull, that We are impatient till We re­ceive Iustice from you; and are compelled to call again for an Answer, being confident (however you would be so carefull, (though without Our consent) to put a Garrison into that Our Town, to secure it and Our Magazine against any attempt of the Papists) that you never intended to dispose and maintain it against Vs your Soveraign: Therefore We require you forthwith (for the Businesse will admit no delay) That you take some speedie course, that Our said Town and Maga­zine be immediately delivered up unto Vs, and that such severe exemplary proceedings be against those persons (who have offered Vs this insupportable affront and injury) as by the Law is provided: And till this be done, We shall intend no Businesse whatsoever (other then the Businesse of Ireland) For if We are brought into a Condition so much worse then any of Our Subjects, that whilest you all enjoy your Priviledges, and may not have your Possessions disturbed, or your Titles questioned, We onely may be spoiled, thrown out of Our Towns, and Our goods taken from Vs; 'tis time to examine how We have lost those Priviledges, and to try all possible Wayes, by the help of God, The Law of the Land, and The affection of Our good Subjects, to recover them, and vindicate Our Self from those Injuries. And if We shall miscarry herein, We shall be the first Prince of this King­dom that hath done so; having no other end, but to defend The true Protestant Profession, The Law of the Land, and The Libertie of the Subject: And God so deal with Vs, as We continue in those Resolutions.
