HIs Majesties thoughts being alwayes sincerely bent to the Peace of His Kingdoms , was , and will be ever desirous to take all wayes , which might the most clearely make appeare the Candor of His Intentions to His People . And to this end could find no better way , then to propose a Personall , Free Debate with His two Houses of Parliament , upon all the present Differences ; Yet finding ( very much against His Expectation , ) That this Offer was layd aside ; His Majesty bent all His Thoughts to make His Intentions fully known , by a perticular Answer to the Propositions , delivered to Him in the name of both Kingdomes , the 24th of July last ; But the more He endeavoured it , He more plainely saw , That any Answer He could make , would be subject to mis-interpretations , and mis-constructions , which upon His own Paraphrases , and Explanations , He is most confident would give so good satisfaction , as would doubtlesse cause a happy and lasting Peace . Least therefore that good Intentions might produce ill Effects , His Majesty againe proposes , and desires to come to London , or any of His Houses thereabouts , upon the Publique Faith and Security of His two Houses of Parliament , and the Scotch Commissioners , that He shall be there , with Honour , Freedome , and Safety , where , by His Personall Presence , He may not onely rayse a mutuall confidence betwixt Him and His People , but also have their doubts cleared , and those difficulties explained to Him , without which He cannot ( but with the aforesaid mischievous Inconveniences ) give a perticular Answer to the Propositions ; And with which He doubts not , but so to manifest His Reall Intentions for the setling of Religion , the Just Priviledges of Parliament , with the Freedome and Propriety of the Subject , That it shall not be in the Power of malicious wicked Men , to hinder the establishing of that firme Peace , which all honest Men desire ; Assuring them , That as He will make no other demands , but such , as He believes considently to be just , and much conducing to the tranquility of His People , so He will be most willing to condiscend unto them , whatsoever shall be really for their good and happinesse ; not doubting likewise , but that you will also have a due regard to maintaine the Just Power of the Crowne , according to your many Protestations , and Professions : For certainly , except King and People , have a reciprocall care each of other , neither can be happy . To conclude , It is your King who desires to be heard , ( the which if refused to a Subject by a King , He would be thought a Tyrant for it ) and for that end which all men professe to desire . Wherefore His Majesty conjures you , as you desire to shew your selves really what you professe , even as yee are good Christians and Subjects , that yee will accept this His Offer , which He is confident , God will so blesse , that it will be the readiest meanes , that these Kingdoms may againe become a comfort to their Friends , and a Terrour to their Enemies .
