It cannot be believed but that We have been , are , and ever must be as sollicitous as We can by all endeavours , to improve the affections of our good Subjects at home , and to procure the assistance of Our Friends and Allies abroad , for the Recovery of that Right which by the Laws of God and Man is unquestionable , and of which We have been so long dispossessed by such a Force , and with those Circumstances as We do not desire to aggravate by any sharp Expressions , but rather wish that the Memory of what is passed may be buried in the World . That We have more endeavoured to prepare and to improve the Affections of Our Subjects at home for Our Restauration , than to procure assistance from abroad , to invade either of Our Kingdoms , is manifest to the whole World . And We cannot give a better evidence that We are still of the same mind , than in that conjuncture when common reason must satisfie all Men , That We cannot be without an assistance from abroad , We chuse rather to send to You , who have it in Your own power to prevent that ruine and desolation which a War would bring upon the Nation , and to make the whole Kingdom owe the Peace , Happiness , Security and Glory it shall enjoy to your virtue : And to acknowledg that your Armies have complied with their Obligations for which they were first raised for the preservation of the Protestant Religion , the honor and dignity of the King , the Privileges of Parliament , the Liberty and Propriety of the Subject , and the Fundamental Laws of the Land ; and that you have vindicated that Trust , which others most perfidiously abused and betrayed . How much We desire and resolve to contribute to those good ends , will appear to you by Our inclosed Declaration , which We desire you to cause to be published for the information and satisfaction of all good Subjects , who do not desire a further effusion of precious Christian bloud , but to have their Peace and Security founded upon that which can onely support it , a unity of affections amongst our selves , an equal administration of justice to all men , restoring Parliaments to a full capacity of providing for all that is amiss , and the Laws of the Land to their due vindication : You have been your selves witnesses of so many revolutions , and have had so much experience how far any power and authority that is onely assumed by Passion and appetite , and not supported by justice , is from providing for the Peace and Happiness of a people , or from receiving any obedience from them , without which no Government can provide for them ; that you may very reasonably believe , That God hath not been well pleased with the attempts that have been made , since he hath usually increased the confusion , by giving all the success that hath been desired , and brought that to pass without effect , which the designers have proposed as the best means to settle and compose the Nation , and therefore We cannot but hope and believe that you will concur with us in the Remedie We have applied , which to humane understanding is onely proper for the Ills We groan under ; and that you may make your selves the blessed instruments to bring the blessing of Peace and Reconciliation upon King and People , it being the usual method in which the Divine Providence delighteth it self , to use and sanctifie those very means which ill men design for the satisfaction of private and particular ends and ambition , and other wicked purposes , to wholsom and publick ends , and to establish that good which is most contrary to the Designers , which is the greatest manifestation of Gods peculiar kindness to a Nation that can be given in this world . How far We resolve to preserve your Interests , and to reward your Services We refer to Our Declaration ; and We hope God will inspire you to perform your duty to vs and to your native Country , whose happiness cannot be separated from each other . We have entrusted our well-beloved Servant Sir Iohn Greenvil Gentleman of Our Bed-chamber , to deliver this unto you , and to give us an account of your reception of it , and to desire you in Our Name , That it may be published . And so We bid you farewell .
