His Majesties GRACIOUS MESSAGE To the COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT , January the Fourth , 1680/81. CHARLES R.

HIS Majesty receiv'd the Address of this House with all the disposition They could wish , to comply with Their reasonable Desires ; but upon perusing it , He is sorry to see Their Thoughts so wholly fix'd upon the Bill of Exclusion , as to determine that all other Remedies for the suppressing of Popery will be ineffectual : His Majesty is confirm'd in his Opinion against that Bill by the Judgment of the House of Lords , who rejected it . He therefore thinks there remains nothing more for Him to say in answer to the Address of this House , but to recommend to Them the Consideration of all other Means for the Preservation of the Protestant Religion , in which They have no reason to doubt of His concurrence , whenever they shall be presented to Him in a Parliamentary Way ; And that They would Consider the Present State of the Kingdom , as well as the Condition of Christendom , in such a manner , as may enable Him to preserve Tanger , and secure His Alliances abroad , and the Peace and Settlement at home .
