"The Lords and Commons, taking Notice of Your
Majesty's Intention to pass the Seas, by reason of
Your Indisposition, whereby the Kingdom will be
deprived of the Comfort of Your Majesty's Presence;
and divers other great Inconveniencies to the State
may thereupon ensue; which Yesterday both Houses
of Parliament did most humbly represent unto the
King, and withall petitioned for this Access unto
Your Majesty, that so they might express unto Yourself their hearty Sorrow for Your Majesty's Sickness,
and most earnest Desires to perform any Duty whereby
they may be serviceable for the Recovery of Your
Majesty's Health; and because they have been informed by Sir Theodore Mayerne, that this Indisposition proceeds from some inward Discontent of Mind,
the Lords and Commons have thought good to declare, That, if any Thing within the Power of Parliament may give Your Majesty Contentment, they
are so tender of Your Majesty's Health, both in due
Respect to His Majesty and Yourself, that they will
be ready to further Your Majesty's Satisfaction in all
Things, so far as may stand with the public Trust to
which they are obliged; and besides, they humbly conceive, that it may be some Tax and Dishonour to this Nation, if Your Majesty should, in this
unseasonable Time, go out of the Kingdom upon
any Grief or Discontent received here; and therefore
they shall labour, by all good Means, to take away
and prevent all just Occasions of Your Majesty's
Trouble, in such Manner as may further Your Majesty's Contentment, and therein Your Health, which
will be a very great Comfort and Joy to themselves,
and the rest of His Majesty's loving Subjects."
