HIS MAJESTIES SPEECH , DELIVERED To both HOUSES in PARLIAMENT , the 14th . of December 1641. My Lords and Gentlemen ,

THe last time that I was in this place , and the last thing that I recommended unto you , was the businesse of Ireland , whereby I was in good hope that I should not have need again to have put you in minde of that businesse ; But still seeing the slow proceedings therein , and the daily Dispatches that I have out of Ireland , of the lamentable estate of my Protestant Subjects there , I cannot but again earnestly recommend the dispatch of that Expedition unto you , for it is the chief Businesse that at this time I take to heart , and there cannot ( almost ) be any businesse that I can have more care of . I might now take up some of your time in expressing my detestation of Rebellions in generall , and of this in particular ; But knowing that Deeds and not Declarations must suppresse this great Insolencie , I do here in a word offer you whatsoever my power , paines , or industry can contribute to this good and necessary work of reducing the Irish Nation to their true and wonted obedience .

And that nothing may be omitted on my part , I must here take notice of the Bill for pressing of Souldiers , now depending among you my Lords , concerning which I here declare , That in case it come so to Me , as it may not infringe or diminish my Prerogative , I will passe it : And further seeing there is a dispute raised ( I being little beholding to him whosoever at this time began it ) concerning the bounds of this ancient and undoubted Prerogative , to avoide further debate at this time , I offer , that the Bill may passe with a Salvo jure , both for King and People , leaving such debates to a time that may better bear it . If this be not accepted , the fault is not mine that this Bill passe not ; but those that refuse so fair an offer .

To conclude , I conjure you by all that is , or can be dear to you or me , that , laying away all disputes , you go on cheerfully and speedily for the reducing of Ireland .

FINIS .
