Upon consideration of which Propositions His Majesty sent the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Southampton with this Message of the 13. of December.

[ II] HIS Majesty hath seriously considered your Propositions, and finds it very difficult, in respect they import so great an Alteration in Government both in Church and State, to return a particular and positive Answer before a full debate, wherein those Pro∣positions, and all the necessary Explanations and Reasons for assenting, dissenting, or qua∣lifying, and all inconveniences and mischiefs which may ensue, and cannot otherwise be so well foreseen, may be discussed and weighed. His Majesty therefore proposeth and desireth, as the best Expedient for Peace, That you will appoint such a number of Persons as you shall think fit, to Treat with the like number of Persons to be appointed by His Majesty upon the said Propositions, and such other things as shall be proposed by His Majesty, for the preservation and defence of the Protestant Religion (with due regard to the ease of tender Consciences, as His Majesty hath often offered) the Rights of the Crown, the Liberty and Property of the Subjects, and the Privileges of Parliament; and upon the whole matter to conclude a happy and blessed Peace.
