CHARLES I. His Majesties message to both Houses of Parliament. Die Lunae 14. Febr.1641. London: printed by Robert Barker, printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie: and by the assignes of John Bill. [1642]Broadside, folio, printed in black letter on one side of the leaf only, 25 x 37cms approx., with two-line woodcut headpiece and large decorative initial, lightly laid down : in bright, fresh and attractive state. ROMISH PRIESTS ; THE MISERABLE KINGDOM OF IRELAND ; SUFFOLK CLOTHIERS. 1642 February 14. Wing C 2451A. ESTC lists two versions ; (1) with the imprint "Imprinted" and no printed date ; the other with "printed" and the printed date "1641". These are undifferentiated in Wing which gives combined locations L, CC, LS, O / Y. ESTC locates copies of the present version at LS / Y only. Not in Goldmiths' or Kress. The text falls into three sections. The first concerns religion : confirms the implementation of the laws against recusants, the banishment of the seven condemned priests and refers the government of the liturgy of the church to the care of parliament. The second concerns Ireland "(In behalf of which his majesties heart bleeds)...nor will he refuse to enter his owne person in that war, if his parliament shall think it convenient for the reduction of that miserable kingdome." The third is on the decay of trade, responding in particular to a recent petition received from the clothiers of Suffolk. The tone of the message, which is mild, conciliatory and almost deferential to Parliament, seemingly reflects the weakness of the king's position at this juncture.ENGLISH PRE 1701; WING; CHARLES I; HISTORY; ENGLAND; BROADSIDE; IRELAND; ; ; ; ;
