❧ The Kings Majesties speech , in the Parliament at Edinburgh the seventeenth day of August , 1641. My Lords and Gentlemen ,

THere hath nothing been so displeasing to me as those unlucky differences which of late have happened betwixt me , and my Subjects , and nothing that I have more desired , as to see this day , wherein I hope not only to setle these unhappy mistakings , but rightly to know , and to be knowne of my native country . I need not tell you ( for I think it is well known to most ) what difficulties I have passed by , and overcome to be here at this time , yet this I will say , that if love to my native country , had not been a chief motive to this journey , other respects might easily have found a shift to do that by a commissioner , which I am come to perform my self . All this considered , I cannot doubt but to find such reall Testimonies of your affections , for the maintenance of that royall power which I enjoy after 108 descents , & which you have so often prosessed to maintaine , and to which your owne nationall oath doth oblige you , that I shall not think my pains ill bestowed . Now the end of my comming is shortly this , to perfect whatsoever I have promised , and withall to quiet those distractions which have , and may fall out amongst you , and this I mind not superficially , but fully and cheerfully to doe , for I assure you that I can do nothing with more cheerfulnesse then to give my people a generall satisfaction , Wherfore not offering to indeere my selfe to you in words ( which indeed is not my way ) I desire in the first place to settle that which concernes the religion and just liberties of this my native Country before I proceed to any other Act.

Edinburgh , Printed by Robert and James Bryson .
