Some Passages that happened Mar. 9. between His Majesty and the Committee of both Houses, when the Declaration was delivered.

When His Majesty heard that part of the Declaration which mentioned Master Jermin's Tran∣sportation, His Majesty interrupted the Earl of Holland in reading, and said, That's false: which being afterwards touch'd upon again, His Majesty then said, 'Tis a lie: And when He was informed, it related not to the Date, but the Execution of the Warrant, His Majesty said, It might have been better expressed then; and that it was a high thing to tax a King with breach of Promise.

As for this Declaration, I could not have believed the Parliament would have sent Me such an one, if I had not seen it brought by such persons of Honour. I am sorry for the Parliament, but glad I have it: For by that I doubt not to satisfie My People; though I am confident the greater part is so already.

Ye speak of ill Counsels; but I am confident the Parliament hath had worse Informa∣tions than I have had Counsels.

His Majesty asking what he had denied the Parliament; the Earl of Holland instanced that of the Militia: His Majesty replyed, That was no Bill. The Earl then said, It was a necessary request at this time: His Majesty also replied, He had not denied it.
