<HEAD>A Replication of the LORDS and COMMONS A&s;&s;embled in PARLIAMENT.</HEAD>
<HEAD>TO His MAJESTIES la&s;t An&s;wer, &s;ent by the Right Honorable the Earle of HOLLAND.</HEAD>
<P>_THE Lords and Commons in Parliament having taken into their con&s;ideration His Maje&s;ties An&s;wer to their Hvmble Petition for Peace, delivered by the Earle of <HI>Hol|land,</HI> Sir <HI>Philip Stapleton,</HI> and Sir <HI>John Holland,</HI> and the demands which he is therupon plea&s;ed to make concerning the pre&s;ent delivery of the Towne of Hull, the Maga|zine, the Navie, di&s;avowing the Ordinance of the Militia, the laying down of all Armes rai&s;ed by Authority of the two Hou&s;es of Parliament and adjourning them&s;elues to &s;ome other place, doe be&s;eech His Maje&s;tie to accept this their mo&s;t humble, and ju&s;t excu&s;e that they cannot for the pre&s;ent with the di&s;charge of the tru&s;t repo&s;ed in them for the &s;afety of the KING, and Kingdome; yeeld to tho&s;e demands of His Maje&s;ty; the Rea&s;on why they took into their cu&s;tody the Towne of Hull, the Magazeen, and Navie, pa&s;&s;ed the Ordinance of the Militia, and made preparation of Armes, was for the &s;ecuritie of Religion, the &s;afetie of His Maje&s;ties Per&s;on, of the Kingdome, and Parliament, all which they did &s;ee in evident, and eminent Danger, from which when they &s;hall be &s;ecured, And that the Forces of the Kingdome &s;hall not be u&s;ed to the De&s;truction thereof, they &s;hall then be readie to withdraw the Garri&s;on out of Hull, to deliver the Magazeen, and Navie, and &s;ettle the Militia by Bill, in &s;uch a way as &s;hall be Honourable, and &s;afe for His Maje&s;tie, mo&s;t agreeable to the Dutie of Parliament, and effectuall for the good of the Kingdome, as they have profe&s;t in their late Petition, and for Adjourning the Parliament: they Apprehend no Rea&s;on for His Maje&s;tie to require it, nor &s;ecuritie for them&s;elves to con&s;ent to it. And as for that Rea&s;on which His Maje&s;tie is plea&s;ed to expre&s;&s;e, they doubt not but the u&s;uall place will be as &s;afe for His Royall Per&s;on, as any other, con&s;idering the full a&s;&s;urance they have of the Loyaltie, and fide|litie of the Citie of London to His Maje&s;tie, and the care which His Parliament will ever have to prevent any danger, which His Maje&s;tie may ju&s;tly Apprehend; be&s;ides the manifold con|veniences to be had there, beyond other parts of the Kingdom. And as for the laying down of Armes, when the cau&s;es which moved them to provide for the Defence of His Maje&s;tie, the Kingdome and Parliament, and &s;hall be taken away, they &s;hall very willingly, and cheerefully forbeare any further preparations, and lay down their Force already Rai&s;ed.</P>
