I Am so very sensible of the great and extraordinary care you have already taken , and still continue to shew for the Safety and Preservation of my Person in these Times of Danger , that I could not satisfie my self without coming hither on purpose to give you All My most hearty thanks for it .

Nor do I think it enough to give you My thanks onely , but I hold My Self obliged to let you see withall , that I do as much study your Preservation too , as I can possibly ; and that I am as ready to joyn with you in all the ways and means that may Establish a firm Security of the Protestant Religion , as your own hearts can wish .

And this not onely during My time ( of which I am sure you have no fear ) but in all future Ages , even to the end of the world .

And therefore I am come to assure you , That whatsoever reasonable Bills you shall present to be Passed into Laws , to make you Safe in the Reign of any Successor ( so as they tend not to Impeach the Right of Succession , nor the Descent of the Crown in the true Line , and so as they restrain not My Power , nor the Just Rights of any Protestant Successor ) shall find from Me a ready Concurrence .

And I desire you withall to think of some more effectual means for the Conviction of Popish Recusants , and to expedite your Counsels as fast as you can , that the World may see Our Unanimity , and that may have the opportunity of shewing you how ready I am to do any thing that may give Comfort and Satisfaction to such Dutiful and Loyal Subjects .
