<HEAD>HIS MAIESTIES <HI>MESSAGE</HI></HEAD>
<HEAD TYPE="sub">To the Lord Willoughby, to Lincoln, concer|ning the Militia.</HEAD>
<P>THe Hou&s;e of <HI>Parliament</HI> out of their due con&s;ideration, and pro|&s;perity both of the King &amp; King|dome, did elect and choo&s;e the Lord <HI>Wil|loughby,</HI> as a man fit and de&s;erving to have the tru&s;t and charge of the <HI>Militia</HI> of <HI>Lincoln</HI> &s;hire committed unto him, who according to the tru&s;t repo&s;ed in him, with his endeavour to give &s;atisfaction for their good opinion of him; in that they thought him weary of &s;o great a tru&s;t, with the con&s;ent of the Hou&s;e went down to <HI>Lincoln,</HI> and did undertake and put in Execution, what the Hou&s;e had Ordered.</P>
<PB REF="3">
<P> My Lord <HI>Willoughby</HI> was not deterred from his tru&s;t by many Me&s;&s;ages &s;ent from his Maje&s;ty, neither by his Procla|mation lately publi&s;hed to this intent. That no Train-bands &s;hould be mu&s;tred or Trained without his &s;penall Order from his Maje&s;ty, although they had ex|pre&s;&s;e Command from the Hou&s;e of <HI>Par|liament</HI> to that purpo&s;e.</P>
<P>Upon the 24. of <HI>June</HI> his Maje&s;ty un|der&s;tanding the Lord <HI>Willoughby</HI> not|with&s;tanding all his former prohibiti|ons, did contrary to his Will and Com|mand per&s;i&s;t in his Mu&s;tering of the train Band of <HI>Lincoln</HI> &s;hire, &s;ent down a new Me&s;&s;age unto him to the &s;ame ef|fect, commanding him to de&s;i&s;t from the Mu&s;tring of the Train Bands, as hee would an&s;wer the contrary, when a fit occa&s;ion &s;hould &s;erve at his uttermo&s;t perill.</P>
<P>And withall did &s;ignifie unto him, that the Lord Keeper had never Con|&s;ented to the Ordinances, as he preten|ded in his An&s;wer to his former Let|ters.</P>
<PB REF="3">
<P> My Lord <HI>Willoughby</HI> having received this Letter, and in it the Me&s;&s;age, thought it fit to addre&s;&s;e him&s;elfe unto that po|wer, who had enabled him, and without all que&s;tion hee believed would encou|rage and defend his &s;ervice.</P>
<P>Whereupon hee &s;ent Letters to the Hou&s;e, enforming them, that notwith|&s;tanding the King had again prohibited him from going on with mu&s;tring the Train band.</P>
<P>Yet he did not de&s;i&s;t, but did execute the Charge and Tru&s;t committed to them by him.</P>
<P>Enforming them al&s;o, that there was a Captain came from His Maje&s;ty from <HI>Yorke,</HI> who by fal&s;e &s;uppo&s;itions and al|luding promi&s;es to the utmo&s;t of his power, did &s;trive and endeavour to a|liene the hearts and fidelity of that County, from their repo&s;ed tru&s;t in the Hou&s;e of Parliament, and further told that Country, That he wondred that the Lord <HI>Willoughby</HI> had &s;o blinded their Eyes, that they could not &s;ee their owne
<PB REF="4">benefit, and withall did a&s;&s;ure them that the King him&s;elfe would &s;hortly come to <HI>Lincoln,</HI> and mu&s;ter up the Trayned Bands.</P>
<P>The Hou&s;e having received the&s;e Let|ters from the Lord <HI>Willoughby,</HI> fell the &s;ame day into a Conference, being moved with the Nece&s;&s;ity of the&s;e Times, and the weight of the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e.</P>
<P>And &s;o upon con&s;ideration of the &s;aid Letters, the Lords Ordered, <HI>That certaine Votes agreed upon in the Lords Hou&s;e, Con|cerning the Militia, at which the Lord Kee|per was pre&s;ent, and gave his Vote for them, &s;hould be forthwith put in Print, and publi|&s;hed throughout the Kingdome.</HI></P>
<P>Al&s;o, at the &s;ame time Information was made, <HI>That the Lord Keeper in the Hou&s;e of Peers, named his Deputy Lieute|nants for every County, and &s;ent them downe to the Hou&s;e of Commons for their Appro|bation, And al&s;o agreed to the &s;everall forms of the Deputations for the Militia.</HI></P>
<PB REF="4">
<P> The&s;e Di&s;tractions and Differences God of his mercy, and when it &s;hall &s;eeme mo&s;t convenient to his Divine Providence amend, That the King and His Subjects being united in a mo&s;t &s;e|parable Union, this Land may enjoy a continuall peace, the Go&s;pell flouri&s;h to the Glory of Almighty God, and the Comfort of this Nation, his Maje&s;ty may enjoy a pro&s;perous and a peaceable reign, His Subjects flouri&s;h in peace of Con|&s;cience, and peace of E&s;tate; So &s;hall this whole Land be everla&s;tingly happy, unto which O God &s;ay, <HI>Amen.</HI></P>
