X. To the Lords and Commons, in Answer to their Petition of Right, June 11. MDCXXVIII.

GEntlemen, I am come hither to perform My Duty; and I think no man can think it long, since I have not taken so many daies in answering of the Petition as you have spent weeks in framing it: And I am come hither to shew you, that as well in for∣mal things as in essential I desire to give you as much content as in Me lieth.

The Lord Keeper having added somewhat in explanation and pursuance of the former, the Petition was read, and the King's Answer.

The King willeth that Right be done according to the Laws and Customs of the Land, and that the Statutes be put in due execution, that the Subjects may have no cause to complain of any wrong or oppression, contrary to their just Rights and Liberties, to the preservation whereof He holdeth Himself obliged as well as of His Prerogative.
