HIS MAJESTIES Message sent to the Parliament the Eighth of Aprill, 1642.
Concerning his Resolution to go into Ireland, for suppressing the Rebels there.

HIs Majesty being grieved at the very soul, for the calamities of His good Subjects of Ireland, and being most tenderly sensible of the false and seandalous Reports dispersed amongst the people, concerning the rebellion there, which not onlywounds His Majesty in Honour, but likwise [Page] greatly Retards the reducing of that unhappy Kingdom, and multiplies the Distractions at home, by weakning the mutuall confidence betwixt Him and his People: Out of his pious Zeal to the Honour of Almighty God, in establishing the true protestant profession in that Kingdom, and his princely care for the good of all His Dominions, hath firmly resolved with all convenient speed to go into Ireland, to chastise those wicked and detestable Rebels (odious to God aad all good men) therby so to settle the Peace of that Kingdom, and the security of this, that the very name of Fears and Jealousies may be no more heard of amongst us.

As his Majesty doubts not, but that His Parliament will cheerfully give all possible assistance to this good work; so He requires them and all His loving Sobjects to beleeve, That he shall upon those Considerations as earnestly pursue this Design (not declining any hazard of his person, in performing that [Page] Duty which he oweth to the defence of Gods true Religion, and his distressed Subjects) as for these, and only these Ends he undertakes it: to the sincerity of which profession he cals God to witnesse, with this further assurance, That His Majesty will never consent (upon whatsoever pretence) to a Toleration of the Popish profession there, or the Abolition of the Laws now in force against popish Recusants in that Kingdome.

His Majesty hath further thought fit to advertise his Parliament, That toward this Work He intends to raise forthwith by his Commissions, in the Counties neer Westchester, a Guard for His own person (when He shall come into Ireland) consisting of 2000. Foot, and 200. horse, which shall be Armed at Westchester from his Magazine at Hull: At which time all the Officers and Souldiers shall take the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance: The charge of raising and paving wherof His Majesty desires His Parliament to adde to their former [Page] Undertakings for that war which His Maiestie will not only well accept; But if their Pay be found too great a Burthen to His good Subjects, His Majesty will be willing (by the advice of His Parliament) to sell, or pawn any of His Parks, Lands, or House towards the supplies of the Service of Jreland: with the addition of these Leavies to the former of English and Scots agreed upon in Parliament, He hopes so to appear in this Action, that (by the assistance of Almighty God) in a short time that Kingdome may be wholly reduced and restored to peace, and some measure of happinesse. whereby he may cheerefully seturne, to be welcomed home with the Affections and blessings of all his good English people.

Toward this good work, as his Majestie hath lately made dispatches into Scotland, to quicken the Leavies there for Vlster, So he heartily wishes that his Parliament here would give all possi expedition to those which they have resolved for Munster and Conaught: and hopes the encouragement which the Adventurers (of whose interest His Maiestie will be alwayes very carefull (will [Page] hereby receive (as likewise by the lately signing of [...] Commission for the Affairs of Ireland, to such persons for were recommended to him by both houses of Parliament) will raise full sums of Money for the doing there of.

His Majestie hath been likewise pleased (out of of His earnest desire to remove all occasions, which do unhappily multiply M [...]s-understandings between Him and His Parliament) to prepare a Bill ro be offered to them by His Attourney, concerning the Militia, whereby He hopes the Peace and Safety of this Kingdom may be fully secured, to the generall satisfaction of all men, without violation of His Maiesties iust Rights or preiudice to the Liberty of the Subiect. If this shall be thankfully received; He is glad of it. If retused; He calls God, and all the world to judge, on whose part the default is: one thing his Majestie requires, (if this Bill be approved of) That if any Corporation shall make their lawfull Rights appeare, they may be reserved to them.

Before his Majestie shall part from England, he will take all due care to entrust such persons with such authority in his absence, as he shall find to be requisite for the Peace and Safety of this Kingdom, and the happy Progresse of this Parliament.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
