To Parliament's Request That She Marry

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. For the weal, good and safety whereof, I
will never shun to spend my life.
Troops at Tilbury shares the common purpose of
persuading her audience that she is willing to do what
is best for England?
O We have been persuaded by some that are careful
of our safety to take heed how we commit our
selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery.
O I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time,
not for my recreation and disport, but being
resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live
or die among you all.
O 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 hg of England too.
O By your obedience to my general, by your concord
in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall
shortly have a famous victory over those enemies
of God, of my kingdoms, and of my people.

Answer:

The passage that shares the common purpose of persuading her audience that she is willing to do what is best for England is:

**"I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all."**

In this passage, Queen Elizabeth I is conveying her dedication to the well-being and safety of her realm and her people, which aligns with the idea that she is willing to do what is best for England.
