HIS MAIESTIES LETTER IANVARY the 24 th . In Answer to the Petition of both Houses of Parliament , as it was presented by the Earle of Newport , and the Lord Seymer . Ian. 21. 1641.

HIs Majesty having seene and considered the Petition presented unto Him , the one and twentieth of this instant , by the Earl of Newport , and the Lord Seymer , in the names of both Houses of Parliament . Is pleased to return this Answer . That Hee doth well approve of the desire of both Houses , for the speedy proceeding against the persons mentioned in the Petition ; whereof His Majesty finding the great inconveniences by the first mistake in the way , hath endured some delayes ; that He might be informed in what Order to put the same ; But before that that be agreed upon , His Majesty thinkes it unusuall , or unfit to discover what proofe is against them , and therefore holds it necessary , lest a new mistake should breed more delayes ; ( which His Majesty to His power will avoid . ) That it be resolved whether His Majesty bee bound in respect of Priviledges to proceed against them by impeachment in Parliament ; Or whether He be at liberty to prefer an Inditement at the Common Law , in the usuall way , or have His choice of either : Whereupon His Majesties desire to satisfie both Houses , and to put a determination to the businesse .
