The King's Answer to the Address.


	Ibid., col. 561.
	March 8. The lord chancellor reported that both Houses waited upon the king yesterday, and presented him with the address against the growth of popery; and his Majesty hath been pleased to return this answer:-
	My Lords and Gentlemen,-I do heartily agree with you in your address, and shall give speedy order to have it put into execution: there is one part to which I believe it is not your intention that it should extend; for I can scarce say those are in my pay that are presently employed abroad, but as for all the other parts I shall take care it shall be done as you desire.
