Question

For I assure you (what credit my assurance may have with you, I cannot tell, but what credit it shall deserve to have, the sequel shall declare) I will never in that matter conclude any thing that shall be prejudicial to the realm.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The excerpt of the of  Speech to the Troops at Tilbury that shares a common purpose with the Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry, is found between lines 7 and 8:

• “I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too,”

This line exemplifies Queen Elizabeth’s intention of both speeches. She wanted to establish that her condition as a single woman does not make the kingdom weak because she would always do what is better for Britain. Also, she stated that there is no need to have a king since she had the strength to fight for the kingdom against all its enemies.
