<HEAD>M^r. CHARLES DALLISON RECORDR OF <HI>LINCOLN,</HI> His Speech TO THE KINGS MAJESTY.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Mo&s;t gracious Soveraigne:</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>WEE your Maje&s;ties mo&s;t dutifull and obedient Subjects, before we were encouraged by the influence of your Maje&s;ties pre&s;ence, knew not what to doe, being amazed with feares and jealou&s;ies rumored and &s;pread abroad; whereby divers of your Maje&s;ties good Subjects were di&s;tracted; and the more, becau&s;e we neither knew nor could imagine any cau&s;e or feare of jealou&s;ie: SIR, I cannot more properly compare our ca&s;e then to a man in perfect health, yet doth fancie him&s;elfe &s;icke of a Con&s;umption; who (if his fortune be to light of a skilfull and hone&s;t Phy&s;itian) is in no danger; but, if upon an Empricke, it is like his body &s;hall be brought into that condition, which before he did but fancy him&s;elfe to be in. I am doubtfull, if tho&s;e per&s;ons who have bin the cau&s;e of rai&s;ing and fomenting the&s;e feares and jealou&s;ies might chu&s;e their owne Phy&s;itian, and apply their owne medicine, it would hazard the ruine of the Common-wealth, by aboli&s;hing the anci|ent and fundamentall Lawes therof. But the Subjects of this Nation (God be thanked) are in a better ca&s;e: It is not in the power of tho&s;e evill &s;pirits, either to make choice of a Phy&s;itian, or to apply the Medicine; your &s;acred Maje&s;ty being our great Phy&s;iti|an, and without your Maje&s;ties con&s;ent and command no medicine can be applied. And to the un&s;peakable joy and comfort of all your Maje&s;ties faithfull Subjects it is &s;ufficiently &s;ignified to the world, by your Maje&s;ties mo&s;t Kingly Declarations, expre&s;&s;ing your re&s;olution to maintaine and governe by the knowne Lawes of this Realme; to defend the true Prote&s;tant Religion e&s;ta|bli&s;hed by Law: By which meanes your loyall Subjects &s;hall be pre&s;erved and protected from Arbitrary Government. Let the mo&s;t evill affected per&s;on then deny (if he can) but that we have from our King what is to be wi&s;hed, and that without asking or petitioning for. There is onely one Que&s;tion to be asked, and a &s;hort An&s;wer thereunto, What is now to be done? To which every ingenious &s;oule mu&s;t acknowledge the want is on our parts; we owe all we have to be di&s;po&s;ed of by your Maje&s;ty for the maintenance and pre&s;ervation of your ju&s;t rights and prerogative, which cannot be maintained, but thereby the priviledges of your Subjects will be likewi&s;e defended; the &s;ame Law defending both; and under which Law the people of this Nation have bin mo&s;t happily governed under your Maje&s;ty and your mo&s;t noble Progenitours many hundred yeeres. For the continuance of which Government, for my owne particular (pro&s;trating my &s;elfe at your Maje&s;ties feet) I humbly offer and render unto your Maje&s;ty my &s;elfe, e&s;tate and fortune. And SIR, I have warrant from the Major of this Citie and the whole body of this Cor|poration, to be&s;eech your Maje&s;ty to accept of the like offer from them. So with this &s;hort ejaculation I &s;hall conclude; be&s;eech|ing God to ble&s;&s;e and pre&s;erve your &s;acred per&s;on, and this our mo&s;t noble and hopeful Prince <HI>Charles,</HI> with all your royall i&s;&s;ue; and that this Nation and people, and all your Dominions may be governed by your Maje&s;ty and your po&s;terity to the worlds end.</P>
<P>Whereas both the Hou&s;es of Parliament have Voted a nece&s;&s;ity of putting the Kingdome into a po&s;ture of Warre, for the &s;uppre&s;&s;ing of any In&s;urrection within, or Forces from without; and have (by their example and acceptance of o|thers offers to maintaine Hor&s;e and Foot armed for that purpo&s;e) given us, who&s;e names are here underwritten, occa&s;ion (con&s;idering the pre&s;ent di&s;tractions among&s;t us) to undertake to maintaine and have in readine&s;&s;e &s;uch number of Hor&s;e furni&s;hed fit for warre, as we doe here &s;ub&s;cribe to, for the maintenance and defence of his Maje&s;ties ju&s;t Preroga|tive, the Prote&s;tant Religion, as it is now e&s;tabli&s;hed; the Lawes of the Realme, the ju&s;t priviledges of Parliament, and the publique Peace, again&s;t all oppo&s;ition what&s;oever: And the &s;aid Hor&s;e to be di&s;po&s;ed of within the County for three moneths after the 20. of this in&s;tant <HI>July;</HI> at &s;uch time, and in &s;uch way as his Maje&s;ty &s;hall by his Commi&s;&s;ion direct.</P>
