THE DESIRE and ADVICE OF THE LORDS and COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT TO His MAjESTY , THAT The next Assize and Generall Goale-delivery may not be Holden , &c.

WITH HIS MAIESTIES Gratious Answer thereunto February 21. 1642.

Printed by His MAjESTIES Command AT OXFORD , February 24.

By LEONARD LICHFIELD , Printer to the Vniversity . 1642.

TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAIESTIE .

THE Lords and Commons in Parliament humbly shew , That your Iustices and other liege people , who are or shall bee summoned , or have other cause to attend as the next Assize , and generall Gaole-delivery appointed to be shortly kept in the severall Counties of England and Wales , cannot resort thither without great perill of their lives , and Dammage to their Estates , by reason of the present miserable Distractions , and being of Armed Forces in all parts of Your Realme , In regard whereof , the Lords and Commons doe humbly advise and desire Your Majesty to command , That the said Assises and Generall Goale-delivery be not holden as is appointed , But that the same may be deferred untill it shall please God to restore Peace unto Your People .

HIS MAIESTIES GRACIOVS ANSWER to the fore-going Desire and Advice .

HIS Majesty hath weighed the Advice and Desire of the Lords & Commons , sent in a Letter to the Lord of Falkland , from the Earle of Manchester , concerning the putting ●ff the Generall Assizes , and Gaole-delivery throughout the KINGDOME . To which His Majestie returnes this Answer ; That the present bloody Distraction of the Kingdome ( which his Majesty hath used all possible meanes to prevent , and will still to remove ) doth afflict his Majesty under no Consideration more , then of the great interruption and stoppe it makes in the Course and Proceedings of Iustice , and the Execution of the Lawes whereby his good Subjects are robbed of the Peace and Security they were borne to ; And therefore as much as in Him lyes , Hee will advance that onely meanes of their happinesse , at least they shall see that their sufferings that way proceed not from His Majestie . And since they may now expect , by the Lawes , Statutes and Customes of the Kingdome , the Assizes and Generall Gaole-delivery in every Countie , His Majestie thinkes not fit to command the contrary , but will take severe and precise Order , that none of His good Subjects shall receive the least prejudice , as they repaire thither , by any of his Majesties Forces ; Which Rule hee shall be glad to see observed by others ; And then He hopes by the due execution of the Lawes , even these publique Calamities may have some abatement , and the Kingdome recover its former Peace and prosperity .
