XXXVII. To the Committe of both Houses, at the delivery of the Petition for the Militia, at THEORALDS, Mar. 1. MDCXLI. II.

I Am so amazed at this Message, that I know not what to answer. You speak of Jealou∣sies and Fears; lay your hands to your hearts, and ask your selves whether I may not likewise be disturbed with Fears and Jealousies: and if so, I assure you, this Message hath nothing lessened them.

For the Militia, I thought so much of it before I sent that Answer, and am so much assu∣red that the Answer is agreeable to what in justice or reason you can ask, or I in Ho∣nour grant, that I shall not alter it in any point.

For my residence near you, I wish it might be so safe and honourable, that I had no cause to absent My self from White-Hall: Ask your selves whether I have not.

For My Son, I shall take that care of him which shall justifie Me to God as a Father, and to My Dominions as a King.

To conclude, I assure you upon My Honour that I have no thought but of Peace and Justice to My People: which I shall by all fair means seek to preserve and maintain, relying upon the goodness and providence of God for the preservation of My Self and Rights.
