TWO DECLARATIONS The first from Newmarket concerning the Kings most Excellent Majesty The second from St. Albanes agreed upon by the Officers and Soldiers under Command of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairefax Wherein is set forth the Resolution of the Army concerning the disposall of his Majesties Royall Person together with their desires concerning his Highnesse the prince of Wales London Printed for R.W. 1647. A Declaration of the Proceedings of the COMMISSIONERS SYR THE various reports that have been spread abroad of late concerning the present businesse betweene the Parliament the City and the Army and the dubious Relations that have beene made of it have not only ravsed the expectations of people to know the certainty of it but also possest their mindes with many jealousies and feares as if the warres being ended with the Malignants wee should have divisions opend among our selves that may breake out into a new warre which is nothing else but the secret working of Malignant spirits or persons of such fortunes that have found better advantage of warre then they could of peaceable times But there were never more pretenders to truth then in this age nor ever fewer that obtayned or made care and Conscience to use it in their words or deedes And though it be no easie matter in such variety of Relations to deliver exactly to the world the present proceedings without an extraordinary intelligence Yet I shall impart so much of the truth and reallity of late passages as shall give satisfaction to indifferent Readers and a counter-cuffe to all Malignants that vapour and ruffl● in the expectation of new broiles Wee hope shortly that the noyse of warre and all the miseries that follow it will bee removed farther from us and that Peace and her blessings shall come in the roome for without question there is like to bee a sweete and happy accomodation of things betweene the Parliament the City and the Army whereby the expectation of all the Enemies of our Peace and Safetie of the honour and glory of this Kingdome will be frustrated For certaine kn●w this that the head Quarters of the Army is still at St. Albans and the Generall there too No talke of drawing to a Rendezvouz neerer London as some would have it all is very peaceable in the Army and the unanimity betwixt the Officers and the souldiers to bee admired not any stop of trade or traffique to or from the City of London in any part of the Army in any kinde as some have falsly suggested Their inclinations too and desire of a well grounded Peace is apparent by their desire that during the debate and transaction of this businesse between the Parliament and the Army the Parliament would not suffer any new forces to be raysed within this kingdome or any forces to be invited or admitted out of any other kingdome to this or any thing else to be done that may carry the face of a new warre or of preparations thereunto which may endanger or interrupt the present proceedings to the settlement of the Liberties and Peace of this kingdome Severall Petitions from the Counties or Hertford Essex Norfolke Suffolke and Buckingham much to this purpose That apprehending a necessity for the suddaine furtherance of all lawfull meanes which may conduce to the removing their Countries and the kingdomes grievances this their present addresse unto his Excellency was not so generall as otherwise it might have beene yet they were confident they might fully discharge their Countries reall and high esteeme of his Excellencies unwearied and faithfull endeavors for the kingdomes Peace And if his Excellency should farther please to improve his utmost interest in the honourable Court of Parliament for the crowning of his former atchievements with the future freedome of this Nation that they and their posteritie should acknowledge him and if any disaffected to the common good should endeavor by meanes hereof to render his Person or Army odious to the Parliament or kingdome that they could not but looke upon that as an injury of a common concernment and them as enemies to the publique Peace and that none should be more ready to bring such to their legall and just deserved censures then themselves who had in this Petition they humbly presented unto him subscribed themselves both his Excellencies and the Kingdomes faithfull Servants The Generall hath received order for the removall of his Majesty to Richmond and Collonell Rossiter with his Regiment is to attend and guard his Majesties person that so the Propositions agreed upon by both kingdomes may be speedily presented to his Majesty for the setling of a safe and well grounded Peace Some say his Majesty is entertayned by the Army honorably and with all freedome some say the contrary but I rather encline to the first They say likewise that hee is advanced towards London others that hee is still at Newmarket very pleasant and merry but yet very carefull and solicitous for setling the kingdome in peace and quiet being very sensible of the forepast miseries and preserving the Peace of the kingdome above his owne Rights therein shewing himselfe a right gracious Prince and a true Father of his Countrey Her Majesty and the Prince are weary of France hoping shortly that all breaches will be made up and desiring to bee for England God send them and us all a happy meeting and union again that as men of one Country and one Religion we may bee like wise all of one Heart and one Minde There was a Letter June the nineteenth came from the Commissioners with the Army attending his Majesty That they had sent to Sir Thomas Fairefa● to know his answere to the votes of both Houses concerning the disposall of the person of his Majesty to Richmond and was communicated by a Messenger from the Lords to the House of Commons His Majesties own Coach is sent unto him to accomodate him for his removall The Papists conceive great hopes now of advancing their Cause againe on what grounds I cannot see unlesse those little Foxes the subtle Jesuites the common Incendiaries of Christendome that creepe up and downe in corners of this Land have by their slie practices so much influence upon the severall parties as to set them in a combustion They cry aloud Downe with us Downe with us even to the ground and their bloody zeale is such that they could bee content to lose their owne Lives in the common ruine Looke to them But God forbid that such eminent Parties as the Parliament City and Kingdome should be incensed or engaged one against another to their Countries ruine who all of them have already so highly merited of their Countrey in preserving and vindicating her ancient Liberties It is certaine that the Souldiery of the Army are generally for a composure of all things in love and so doubtlesse it will bee God preserve his Royall Majesty and unite us all in Peace with Love and scatter all those like dust in the winde that seeke to divide us Another Copy of a Letter SIR HAVING such a fi●oportunity by this Bearer I thought it meete to represent unto you these ensuing Lines but by reason they are not yet come to the full growth and maturity I shall therefore give you the heads of a Declaration now in Dispence and drawing up by the Officers and Souldiers under commaund of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairefax at St. Albanes 1. They Declare their desires to have the Kings Majesty stated in his Royall Throne at Westminster as formerly and his Royall Posterity provided for with Honor and Safety 2. That a Message may be speedily sent to his Highnesse the Prince of Wales with an invitation from both houses of Parliament for his return to England 3 That Justice may be speedily executed the priviledg of Parl. the Liberty of the subject maintaind His Excellency hath lately received a Message from Newmarket wherein his Majesty doth declare his concurrence to the Parliaments votes his great willingnes to goe to Richmond with the Commissioners his Majesty conceives that to be a ready way to put a period to all the distractions within this kingdom Concerning which the Army hath had a long de●ate both by the Officers and Agitators of the Army but hath not fully concluded of it as yet By the next you shall heare farther from St. Albans June 22. late at night Your Frend Kinsman THO.
