The earnest desire We have of bringing all the Counsels and Deliberations of Our Parliament to a happy Close , and with as general satisfaction as is possible , moves Us upon some very serious considerations , to stop their proceedings for a very short time , until some matters before them be so Prepared , and some Interests so Adjusted , as their Unanimity thereafter may encourage all good Men , and disappoint those , who being as well enemies to Our Parliament as to Us , place much of their vain hopes upon apparent Divisions amongst them . If Our Affairs here had allowed Our Presence with them , as We once designed , We should have judged this worthy of Our immediat endeavours ; But in Our absence We have recommended to the Lord Melvill Our Commissioner ( in whose fidelity to Us , unstained affection to Religion , and to the National Interest , Our Parliament , as well as We , may justly confide ) to take such methods for removing these evils , with their causes , as may best conduce to prepare Matters for their Consideration , and bring Our good Subjects to that Concord and Unity in Our Service , as shall make , We hope , that Meeting to be called , The happy and healing Parliament . We therefore Require you forthwith to Adjourn the Meeting of Our Parliament , from the Twenty seventh day of March instant , to the Fifteenth day of April thereafter , and to issue forth a Proclamation in Our Names , Continuing and Adjourning Our Parliament to the said day , and Requiring all the Members thereof , to be present then in the usual Manner , at the accustomed Place , and under the Certifications appointed by Our Laws . For doing whereof , this shall be to Our Commissioner , and to you a sufficient Warrand ; And so We bid you heartily Farewel .
