A Declaration of the further proceedings of the Treaty between his Majesty and the Commissioners SIR the Commissioners of parl for themselves and attendants are putto a very large expence of money which is necessarily required for the carrying on this great and publike employment and therefore do desire the parliament to supply them with the remainder of the 10000. l. with convenient speed As for the begining and some dayes progresse in the Treaty you may be pleased to take notice of the passages between his Majesty and the parliaments Commissioners meeting in the Treaty Chamber the 18 of this instant Septem in the Forenoon little businesse was dispatcht onely the Commission read of the parliaments Commissioners and some introduction made into the Propositions after which his Majesty went to dinner and met the Commissioners again in the afternoon and after they were set The Commis proceeded to this effect May it please your Maiesty Having made known our Commissions to treat personally with your Maj. upon the propositions formerly presented at Hampton-Court as they concern the Kingdoms of England Ireland And this Treaty to be for 40 days beginning this present and to proceed in the first place upon the propositions following in order viz. For recalling all Oaths Declarations c. And to receive your Maj. Answer in writing Then his Mai. desired nothing to be binding but what should be agreed upon in writing which was assented to The Commissioners then desired his Maiesty to give his Royall assent to this proposition insuing That whereas both Houses of Parliament have bin necessitated to undertake a war in their just and lawfull defence c. An Act of parliament may passe whereby all Oaths Declarations c. against both or either houses or against any for adhering unto them c. to be declared null and that publikely intimated in all parish Churches in all your Maiesties Dominions of England and Ireland Then his Majesty desired to have the Propositions of the English and Irish intirely together To which the Commissioners answered That the Propositions themselves were formerly presented to your Maiesty at Hampton Court we conceive are in your Maiesties hands excepting that of the Court of Wards delivered since in the Isle of Wight c. what concerns our instructions we shall doe but we have no warrant from our Houses to do that And to the latter part of the second paper delivered in the morning we shall acquaint the Houses that no agreement put in writing be binding till the conclusion of the whole Treaty unlesse it shall be otherwise especially agreed On Tuesday Septemb. 19. the King and the Commissioners met again in the same order that they had done the day before and treated both forenoon and afternoon None of them do go to the King at all but in the Treaty Chamber and altogether publikely where there are made gallant speeches And the 19. Sep. his Majesty brought in a paper to this effect CHARLES R. In answer to your proceedings the 18 Sep. concerning the recalling of all the Oaths Declarations and Proclamations heretofore had or to be had against both or either Houses of Parliament or against any for adhering unto them or for doing or executing any Office place or charge by any authority derived from them And all Judgments Inditements Outlawries and Inquisitions in any of the said Causes and all Grants thereupon made or hnd to be made or had be declared null suppressed and forbidden and that this be publikely intimated in all Parish Churches and other places needfull within his Majesties Dominions of England and Ireland His Majesty concerning that expression that both Houses of Parliament have been necessitated to undertake a war for their just defence which seemes to lay the blame of the bloud spilt on his Majesty therefore his Majesty desires that part may be referred to be treated on last Septemb. 19. 1648. The Commissioners then put in a paper to this effect For our giving the Propositions intirely together we find not our selves warranted to present our desires concerning all the Propositions at once or in any sort to treat them but in Order but what we have drawn out for our own use wee shall give your Maiesty to expedite the Treaty And this draught is separated from what concernes the Kingdom of Scotland And this we do not in way of Treaty but out of desire to satisste your Majesty VVe humbly desire your Majesties Answer to our paper delivered yesterday concerning the Proposition for recalling all Oaths c. and other proceedings thereupon against the Parliament or those that acted by their Authority So that the business that thus holds in Dispute is about the matter of the fault upon whom the guilt of the bloud shed in these wars shall be laid and how as to freeing his Majesty which his Majesty would have done and about this the Commissioners have written to the House There is as yet nothing denyed by the King to be passed though nothing actually granted But the great rub is not yet removed His Majesty is loath to charge himselfe with the guilt of the bloud spilt The Commissioners are very faithfull to their Instructions Postscript SIR THis morning his Majesty came somewhat early to the Treaty and sitting in the Chair of State at the upper end of the Table He rose up and made a Speech to the Commissioners of both Houses intimating That it was His Majesties gracious will and pleasure to passe an Act for justifying the proceedings of Parliament in the late War and for declaring all Oaths Declarations Proclamations and other proceedings against it to be void to the end that no obstruction whatsoever may hinder or indanger this blessed work in hand that so all differences may be composed all jealousies removed and the peace of this languishing Kingdom firmly setled and united This gallant speech took great impression in the hearts of the Commissioners who forthwith dispatched a Messenger to the Parliament to communicate the joyfull tydings from the King Newport 25.
