April 14. 1643.
HIS Majesty did not refuse by His former Answer to consent to any such Oath as shall be thought necessary, though He did, and doth still, conceive the Oaths already settled by Law to be sufficient; neither did He ever suppose the Parliament in∣capable of making a provisional Law for such an Oath: but as He would be willing to apply any proper remedy to the extraordinary causes of Jealousies, if He could see that there were such causes: so He will be always most exact in observing the Arti∣cles agreed on in preserving the true Reformed Protestant Religion, and the Peace of the Kingdom against Foreign Forces, and other Forces raised or imployed against Law. And when both Houses shall prepare and present such an Oath as they shall make appear to His Majesty to be necessary to those ends, His Majesty will readily consent to it.
Falkland.
