<HEAD>THE HVMBLE ANSWER OF the Honourable Hou&s;e of Commons to the Kings Maje&s;ties la&s;t me&s;&s;age, <DATE>7^t^h of <HI>Feb.</HI> 1641.</DATE> in defence of the Speech lately &s;poken by <HI>M. Pym.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_YOur Maje&s;ties mo&s;t Loyall and faithfull Subjects, the Com|mons now a&s;&s;embled in Parliament, have taken into their &s;eri|ous con&s;ideration the me&s;&s;age received from your Maje&s;tie the 7^t^h of this in&s;tant <HI>February,</HI> And doe acknowledge that the &s;peech therein mentioned to be delivered by M^r. <HI>Pym</HI> in a Conference, was printed by their Order, and that what was therein delivered, was a|greeable to the &s;en&s;e of the Hou&s;e: And touching that pa&s;&s;age wherein it is affirmed, that &s;ince the &s;toppe upon the Ports again&s;t all <HI>Jri&s;h Papi&s;ts,</HI> by both Hou&s;es, many of the cheife Commanders now in the head of the Rebells, have beene &s;uffered to pa&s;&s;e by your Maje&s;ties immediate war|rants. They pre&s;ent your Maje&s;tie with this their humble An&s;were.</P>
<P>THat they have received divers adverti&s;ements concerning &s;everall per&s;ons, <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> and o|ther Papi&s;ts, which have obtained your Maie&s;ties immediate warrants for their pa&s;&s;ing into <HI>Jreland,</HI> &s;ince the order of re&s;traint of both Hou&s;es; Some of which, as they have beene informed, (&s;ince their comming into <HI>Ireland,)</HI> have ioyned with the Rebells, and beene Com|manders among&s;t them, and &s;ome others have beene &s;tayed, and are yet in &s;afe cu&s;todie: Particularly the <HI>Lord Delvin</HI> and foure other per&s;ons in his Companie, whereof one is thought to be a Prie&s;t. One <HI>Collonell Butler</HI> brother to the <HI>Lord Montgarat</HI> now in rebellion, and Sir <HI>George Hamilton,</HI> all which are papi&s;ts, and one other (as is reported) being &s;onne of the <HI>Lord Nettersfeild,</HI> who&s;e Father and brother are both in rebellion. The particular names of others we have not yet received, but doubt not but upon examination they may be di&s;covered.</P>
<P>And your Maie&s;ties mo&s;t faithfull Subiects are very &s;orry, that the extreme caution which your Maie&s;tie hath u&s;ed, hath beene &s;o ill &s;econded with the diligence and faithfulne&s;&s;e of your Mini&s;ters. And that your Royall Authority &s;hould be &s;o highly abu&s;ed, although (as it was expre&s;t in that Speech by Ma&s;ter <HI>Pym)</HI> we beleeve, it was by the procurement of &s;ome evill in&s;truments too neere your Royall per&s;on, without your Maie&s;ties knowledge and in|tention. And we be&s;eech your Maie&s;tie to take &s;uch cour&s;e, that not onely your Honour may bee vindicated for the time pa&s;t, but your Kingdome may be &s;ecured from the like mi&s;cheife for the time to come.</P>
<P><HI>Read, and by Vote upon the Que&s;tion, a&s;sented unto.</HI></P>
