Preamble to the Address of both Houses before mentioned.

"May it please Your Sacred Majesty,

"We are come to You again, from Your most faithful Subjects and loyal Servants, the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled; and First, we do humbly let Your Majesty know, how much we hold ourselves bounden unto Almighty God, that He hath set a King to rule and reign over us, who is pleased, in the greatest and weightiest Causes, to speak and to be spoken to in Parliament, by His good and loving People, which maketh the King to understand them over whom He beareth Rule, and them again to understand Him; and is a true Bond that tieth the Heart of the Sovereign to the Subject, and of the Subject reciprocally to their Liege Lord and Sovereign.

"And next, we rejoice, that Your Majesty hath shewed Yourself sensible of the Insincerity of that People with whom of late You have had a double Treaty, and of the Indignities offered by them unto Your blessed Son the Prince, and to Your Royal Daughter; and that Your Kingly Heart is filled with an earnest Desire to make Reparation to her Noble Consort and herself of the Palatinate, their Patrimonial Possession, which is agreeable unto Justice, and unto all Laws of God and Man.

"For the effecting whereof, to testify with what Alacrity, with what Expediteness and Uniformity of Heart, both Your Houses of Parliament, in the Name of Your whole Kingdom, have borne themselves unto Your Majesty, with Offer to give You their real Assistance; we have digested it into a Writing, lest, by the verbal or vocal Delivery of any one Person, it may miscarry, or the Expression of our Zeal be weakened and diminished; which we humbly pray Your Majesty to give me Leave to read unto You."
