His Majesties Answer to the fourth Ar∣ticle.
TO the fourth Article; his Majesty is most willing to punish for the time past, and prevent for the future any of the deceits and abuses mentioned in this Article, and will ac∣count it a good service in any, that will inform Himself, his Privy Council, Officers of his Reve∣nues, Judges, or learned Counsel, of any thing that may reveal this Mystery of Iniquity. And his Majesty d••th strictly command every of them, to whom such information shall be brought, that they suffer not the same to die, but do their uttermost endeavour to effect a clear discovery, and bring the Offenders to punishment. And to the intent no concealed Toleration may be effected, his Maje∣sty leaves the Laws to their course.
THat as the Persons of Ambassadors from Forreign Princes, and their Hou∣ses, * 1.1 be free for the exercises of their own Religion, so their Houses may not be made free Chappels and Sanctuaries unto your Majesties Subjects, popishly affected, to hear Mass, and to participate in all other Rites and Ceremonies of that Superstition, to the great offence of Almighty God, and scandal of your Majesties People loyally and religiously affected: That either the concourse of Recusants to such places may be restrained, or at least such a vigilant watch set upon them, at their return from those places, as they may be apprehended, and severally pro∣ceeded withal, Ut qui palam in luce peccant, in lu∣ce pumantur.
