His Majesties Answer to the sixth Ar∣ticle.
TO the sixth; His Majesty is perswaded that this Article is already observed with good care; nevertheless, for the avoiding (as much as may be) all errors and escapes in that kind, his Maje∣sty will give charge to the Lord Keeper, that at the next Term he call unto him all the Judges, and take Information from them of the state of their several Circuits, if any such (as are mentioned in this Article) be in the commission of the Peace, that due reformation may be made thereof; And will likewise give order to the Lord Admiral, and such others to whom it shall appertain, to make diligent enquiry and certificate to his Majesty, if a∣ny such be in place of Authority and Command in his Ships or Service.
THat all your Majesties Iudges, Iustices and Ministers of Iustice, unto whose care * 1.1 and trust, execution (which is the life of your Majesties Laws) is committed, may, by your Majesties Proclamation, not only be commanded to put in speedy execution those Laws which stand in force against Iesuits, Seminary Priests, and Popish Recusants, but that your Majesty would be further plea∣sed to command the said Iudges, and Iu∣stices of Assise, to give a true and strict ac∣count of their proceedings, at their returns out of their Circuits, unto the Lord Keeper, by the Lord Keeper to be presented unto your Majesty.
