The KINGS Answer.I Neither ought to Approve the Act of those
two Brothers, concerning the Death of their
Sister, nor to Obstruct or Oppose my Laws in
their Condemnment: Yet since their Act was
to Take away Disgrace, and not out of Malice,
and through a Hate to the Crime, not to the
Person, I am not willing to leave them to the
Punishment, and the Laws being Satisfied by
their Arraignment, Judgement, and Condemn∣ment,
I will give them their Lives, Lands,
Goods, and Liberties, which the Laws took
from them, and so leave them to Gods Mercy
for Grace, to Repent their Sin.A Privy-Counsellours Speech at the Council∣bord
to His Soveraign.Most Gracious Soveraign,THis your City, wherein your Majesty doth
chiefly Reside, grows Too big for the rest of
your Kingdome, indeed So big as it will be too
Unruly and Unwieldy to be Govern'd, and being
fully Populated, it will not only be apt to Cor∣rupt
the Air, and so cause Often and Great
Plagues, which may Infect the whole King∣dome;
for where Many People are, there is
much Dung and Filth, both within the Streets
