<HEAD>&leaf; His Maje&s;ties Me&s;&s;age to both Hou&s;es of Parliament, upon His removall to the City of York.</HEAD>
<P>_HIs Maje&s;tie being now in His remove to His City of <HI>York,</HI> where He intends to make His Re&s;idence for &s;ome time, thinks fit to &s;end this Me&s;&s;age to both Hou&s;es of Parliament.</P>
<P>That He doth very earne&s;tly de&s;ire, that they will u&s;e all po&s;&s;ible indu&s;try in expediting the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e of <HI>Ireland,</HI> in which they &s;hall finde &s;o cheerfull a concurrence by His Maje&s;tie, that no inconvenience &s;hall happen to that Ser|vice by His ab&s;ence, He having all that Pa&s;&s;ion for the reducing of that King|dom, which He hath expre&s;&s;ed in His former Me&s;&s;ages, and being unable by words to manife&s;t more affection to it, then He hath indeavoured to do by tho&s;e Me&s;&s;ages (having likewi&s;e done all &s;uch Acts as He hath been moved unto by His Parliament) Therefore if the Misfortunes and Calamities of His poor Prote&s;tant Subjects there &s;hall grow upon them (though His Maje&s;tie &s;hall be deeply concerned in, and &s;en&s;ible of their &s;ufferings) He &s;hall wa&s;h His hands before all the World, from the lea&s;t imputation of &s;lackne&s;&s;e in that mo&s;t nece&s;&s;ary and pious Work.</P>
<P>And that His Maje&s;tie may leave no way unattempted, which may beget a good under&s;tanding between him and his Parliament, He thinks it nece&s;&s;ary to Declare, That as he hath been &s;o tender of the Priviled|ges of Parliament, that he hath been ready and forward to retract any Act of his own, which he hath been informed hath trencht upon their Priviledges, &s;o he expects an equall tenderne&s;&s;e in them of his Maje&s;ties known and unquestionable Priviledges (which are the Priviledges of the Kingdom) among&s;t which, he is a&s;&s;ured it is a fundamentall One, That his Subjects cannot be Obliged to Obey any Act, Order, or Injun|ction, to which his Maje&s;tie hath not given his con&s;ent: And therefore he thinks it nece&s;&s;ary to publi&s;h, That he expects, and hereby requires Obedience from all his loving Subjects, to the Laws e&s;tabli&s;hed, and that they pre&s;ume not upon any pretence of Order, or Ordinance (to which his Maje&s;tie is no Partie) con|cerning the <HI>Militia</HI> or any other thing, to do or execute what is not warranted by tho&s;e Laws, his Maie&s;tie being re&s;olved to keep the Laws him&s;elf, and to require obedience to them from all his Subiects.</P>
<P>And His Maie&s;tie once more recommends to his Parliament the &s;ub&s;tance of his Me&s;&s;age of the twenti|eth of January la&s;t, that they compo&s;e and dige&s;t, with all &s;peed, &s;uch Acts as they &s;hall think fit, for the pre|&s;ent and future e&s;tabli&s;hment of their Priviledges; The free and quiet enioying their E&s;tates and Fortunes; The Liberties of their per&s;ons; The &s;ecurity of the true Religion now profe&s;&s;ed in the Church of <HI>England;</HI> The maintaining his Maie&s;ties Regall and iu&s;t Authority, and &s;etling his Revenue; his Maie&s;tie being mo&s;t de&s;irous to take all fitting and iu&s;t wayes, which may beget a happy under&s;tanding between him and his Par|liament, in which he conceives his greate&s;t power and riches doth con&s;i&s;t.</P>
