for

,
which

did
not
a
little
move
his

,
whereby
divers
thoughts
arose
from
His
Royall
and
Princely
Majesties
minde
,
but
after

time
of

thereupon
,
His

resolved
to
send
this
joyfull
Message
to
the
Right
Honourable
Robert
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
whereby
hee
might
fully
understand
his
Majesties
will
and
pleasure
,
which
Message
did
intimate
and
import
the
Desires
and
Propositions
of
His

,
and
how
earnest
and
desirous
he
was
to
preserve
the
Peace
and
prosperity
of

;
And
likewise

And
his

the
directions
which

,
had
sent
the

to
goe
to
the
River
Humber
,
with
as
many
ships
as
he
should
thinke
sit
for

,
for
the
assistance
and
reliese
of
Sr.
John
Hotham
,
his
Maiestie
was
very
much
displeased

,
by
reason
that
he
expected
the
giving
up
of
the
Towne
to

.
His
Maiestie
declares
,
that
it
was
an
ill
prologue
to
a
message
that
might
compose
the
destruction
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
whereas
his
Majesty
hath
oftentimes
declared
,
that
the
levying
of
warre
was
for
no
other
end
but
for
his
owne
safeguard
and
defence
.
Hee
doth
further
declare
with
a
particular
passage
,
that
although
the
enemies
of
His
Majesties
person
and
government
hath
proceeded
in
some
particulars
,
yet
he
professeth
,
that
all
men
may
know
and
perceive
,
hath
been
done
in
this
way
,
and
he
takes
God
to
witnesse
,
that
his
intentions
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
hath
bin
reall
,
not
having
the
least
thought
of
taking
or
levying
any
warre
against
His
Parliament
.
This
is
the
Message
which
His
Majesty
sent
to
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
,
wherein
hee
declares
his
Reall
intentions
therein
.
And
wherein

open
the

and

of

and
the
Desires
and
Propositions
that

rendreth
to

of
