SEVERALL PROPOSITIONS PRESENTED To the Members of the Honourable House of COMMONS by Mr. PETERS Minister of the Gospell of Jesus CHRIST Concerning the Presbyterian Ministers of this KINGDOME WITH A Discovery of two great Plots against the PARLIAMENT of ENGLAND THE FIRST By the QVEEN and the English Runagadoes in FRANCE THE SECOND By the Lord Hopton Col. Cartwright and divers others in the Island of JARSEY ALSO A Declaration of His Highnesse the Prince of WALES in FRANCE LONDON Printed for J. G. Decemb. 1. 1646. Mr. PETERS REPORTS TO The Honourable Committee of both Kingdomes concerning the speedy reducing of the Irish Rebels FIrst he desireth that there may be a speedy course taken for the setling of the poore distressed and bleeding Kingdom of Ireland in peace and unity that there may be some painfull and religious Ministers both Presbyterians and others forthwith expedited for that service Secondly that all possible care may be taken for the sending over provisions and other necessaries for reliefe of the poor distressed Protestants Thirdly that all Commanders whatsoever that are under the Command of the Parliament of England may forthwith be sent over for the performance of the Great Trust reposed in them that so the Cause of Ireland may be no longer detarded but with all faithfulnesse and expediency performed for the easing of our distressed Brethren from the heavie oppressions which they have for many yeares groaned under Thus having given you in briefe the effect and substance of the Propositions or Report of the renowned Worthy of our Times Mr. PETERS upon Friday last concerning the managing of the Affaires for the Kingdom of Ireland I will in the next place communicate unto you the dangerous estate and condition of this our native Kingdom of England by reason of the manifold Plots and Conspiracies which are dayly acting and contriving by the Enemies of GOD against the Worthies of England the High and Honourable Court of Parliament Yet all their Machavillian Plots and horrid conspiracies have been frustrated and taken no effect For when they were in the height of their pride and almost upon the finishing of their wicked Conspiracies it pleased God to discover and bring to light all their barbarous and inhumane intentions Yet these great and malicious Instruments which have been for many yeares together the chiefe Disturbers of the Peace and Tranquility of England whose hearts have bin inveterate against the Proceedings of our Renowned Parliament are now studying complotting and contriving how to bring their most wicked and bloudy Designes once again to perfection and to set footing within this our Realme of England But because I will not detract time nor trouble the Readers patience with too much superfluity of former experiencies I will confine my selfe and proceed to the ensuing subject which may be tearmed Englands vigilant Scout giving Her an Alarum of the warlike preparations that are now beyond the Seas not onely by a forreign Enemy but by Her Native Branches which I will here insert and faithfully communicate as followeth The Nobility and Gentry of this Kingdom of England which for a long time had so inveterately engaged themselves in a desperate warre against the Parliament are very active beyond the Seas in the Kingdome of France and other Parts and are complotting and laying their heads together how they may contrive raise a new war in England using their utmost endeavours by way of entreat for the gathering of an Army together And to that end the greatest part of the Nobility and Gentry together with all the Collonels Lieutenant Colonels Majors Captains and other inferiour Officers which were Runagadoes from their Native Country having formerly had the honour of great trust and eminent places reposed to their Charge began to recollect their memories and to bethink themselves of the gallant dayes which they once enjoyed within the Realm of England and therefore having ever since their departure from this Kingdom bin much perplexed in mind joyntly concluded that if it were possible for them to raise a Party and some certain sums of mony they would venter once again to steere their Coast towards the Confines of England And for the better effecting of their Design now in agitation the Queen doth endeavour to use her utmost power for the effecting of it as formerly she hath done But it is very probable that their Designe will bee soon frustrated and all their Plots and Conspiracies utter confounded for one storme hath already appeared against them and no doubt but many more will suddenly arise so that there is small hopes of their attempting any thing against this Kingdome by reason of a Controversie and Disputation that hath lately arose between the Queen and her Confessour at St. Iermans who at a late meeting told her that her proceedings were not well approved of and that he thought She began to incline towards the Church of England and to desert the Church of Rome At which words her Majesty being somwhat displeased replyed and declared her self in this manner That for her Religion which Shee was alwayes brought up in from her Infancie She were resolved to live and dye in And for his Objections against her in being pleased to say that it was not allowable for Her to permit or suffer any of Her servants followers liberty to associate themselves with the Heretikes in any publike place or meeting whatsoever to which her Majesty answered That Shee were resolved to grant them free liberty of Conscience intimating that when she were in England all her followers in geral● had liberty and tolleration to use their owne wayes and consciences without any disanulment or interruption at all and in consideration thereof she were resolved to grant the same liberty to Her Royall Soveraignes ●●iends and Hers in France as they fo●merly have had in England Thus having expressed her self so resolutely unto her Confessour hee tooke his leave and being much perplexed in mind retyred out of the roome being in a great fury what the issue of this Discord and Contention may arise to I cannot as yet assure you Therefore in the next place be pleased to take notice that his Highnesso the Prince of VVales is very much perplexed in mind and cannot approve of the French fashions nor wayes but declares himself in opposition against them Thus having given you the chiefest Observations and remarkablest Passages that have happened within the Kingdome of France somewhat reflecting upon the Peace and Tranquility of England I cannot but put you in mind of another businesse of great concernment worthy of your observation and hath some reference to the former But drawing to a period I will only give you a hint of it and briefly intimate unto you as followeth From Iarsey we are advertised That the Lord Hopton Colonell Cartwright and divers other Commanders are very active in the said Island both in furnishing of themselves with Ammunition and also in keeping their men together which is supposed for some designe against the Parliament of England Hopton hath caused two or three Powder Milles to be made and are continually in action with them They keepe severall strong Holds about the Iland and are supposed to be about two thousand strong all compleatly armed being gallantly experienced in the Discipline The Holds that they keepe are of great strength most of them being scituated upon great Rockes and incompassed with the Sea so that it is to be feared it will bee a long time before they are brought to the obedience of the Parliament unlesse upon composition But why these Garisons should be maintained and kept in a defensive and warlike posture against the Parliament is not as yet known but we may conceive and it is too apparent that they have some Designes in agitation against the Parliament of England for who can be so deluded as to thinke that they will still keepe these Holds in defiance and to endanger both lives and fortunes but only they have a secret Conspiracie amongst themselves and no doubt but their horrid Plots and desperate designes will at the last be brought to light and to their everlasting shame be made manifest to the whole world They are very vigilant and will not suffer a Fisherman to go to the Sea without severe examination and diligent search Hopton hath again renewed his inveterate malice against the Parliaments friends and hath disarmed all the well-affected throughout the whole Island FINIS
