WARWICK Concerning the Kings Majesty and the Prince of Wales and his resolution touching all those who are opposite to Peace VVHereas there are divers persons within the City of London and parts adjacent who endeavour to inflame the Kingdom in a most inhumane bloudy and intestine War and to involve them in a Labyrinth of trouble and Calamities by their present commotions actings and contrivances in making the King and Parliament odious to the People and stirring up their hearts against them for the obstructing and blasting the hopefull Issue and Blossomes of this blessed Treaty Therefore for preventing thereof and propogating the present Work in hand his Excellency Robert Earl of Warwick Lord High Admirall of his Majesties narrow Seas hath declared his Resolution in reference to the same protesting That He will use his utmost endeavours towards the setling of truth and a happy peace in this unsetled Church and Kingdom and that He will be instrumentall for the bringing of his Majesty to London and setling of His Maiesty the Prince of VVales the Duke of York and the rest of His Royall Issue in their just Rights and priviledges so soon as His Majesty shall be pleased to satisfie and confirme the Desires of his two Houses of Parliament so much tending to the good and preservation both of Religion Crown and Kingdoms Some Overtures have been lately ●ade betweene his Highnesse the Prince of Wales and his Lordship in relation to a conjunction and uniting of both Navies but his Lordship hath utterly detested against the s●me slighting the Princes invitation and representing a Letter unto his Highnesse That he takes it as the greatest dishonour that can be incident to man for any Personage whatsoever to betray the trust reposed in him and that He is resolved to sacrifice his life in the Cause and Engagement which he hath undertaken not doubting but that the omnipotent God of Heaven to whom the Honour of his Engagement doth belong will cause the Wnids and Seas to fight for them whose Truth is their Banner Shield and Bucker and therefore dehorts his Highnesse to persist no longer in the way he is in but forthwith to come in and unite himself with the Parliament that so his person may be preserved from all violence and injury and a restoration made of all due Rights and priviledges and that he may render himself instrumentall for the composing of all differences and establishing of a firme and lasting Peace throughout His Fathers Realmes and Dominions This Letter is said to be sent from aboard the St. George to the Prince at Helver-Sluce and signed WARWICK Letters further from the Navy say That the Prince is desirous to spin out some longer time at Gorea before he puts to Sea in expectation of what the Treaty will produce and that if it takes not effect he is resolved for Ireland to joyn with the Marquis of Ormond and the Lord Inchiqueen and to land an Army in the West of England at the Spring for the re-investing of the King and restoring of Him to his just Rights Power and Authority The said Letters do further intimate That the Lord high Admirall hath received a Letter from his Majesty purporting things of great concernment and how farre he hath condescended to the desires of his two House● 〈◊〉 desiring him to be instrumentall for the setling of a firm and lasting peace His Majesties finall Answer touching Episcopacy Right Honourable ON Wednesday morning last the Kings Majesty ●nd the Commissioners met in the Treaty Chamber and taking their places at the Councell Table according to the usuall manner the Earl of Northumberland rose up and made a short Speech Humbly desiring his Majesty to remove his aversnesse from the setling of Religion and to hearken unto the advice of His great and loyall Councell so much tending to the honour of His Majesty and Posterity and the setling of a true and lasting peace throughout all His Realms and Dominions Which done his Lordship presented a Copy of the Parliaments last Votes brought by Sir Peter Killegrey on Tuesday night last in answer to his Majesties Enlargement of Concessions touching Episcopacy His Majesty after reading the same rose up out of the Chair of State and made a very learned and excellent Speech to the Commissioners His Majesty having thus graciously declared Himself the Commissioners began to proceed according to their Instructions and desired a more fuller and satisfactory Answer touching the utter extirpation of Episcopacy which took up some time of debate in pro and con and the day being far spent they referred the further results thereof to the happy succession of the morrow following And accordingly yesterday morning they met again where the streames of joy issued from the current of the hearts both of Prince and People who came to a finall close upon all the Proposals His Majesty promising upon his Royall Word to passe those Bills into Acts which He had already assented to And being further pressed by the Commissioners to signe to the Bill for the establishing of Episcopacy his Majesty desired respite of time till Saturday morning which was accordingly granted And this morning about the accustomed houre his Majesty gave the Commissioners a visit and sitting down in the Chair of State presented a Paper to them which is said to be very satisfactory containing His Royall Assent to the Proposition of the Church and likewise to all the rest of the Bills and Proposals This joyfull tydings were soon eccho'd throughout the Island insomuch that the Bels rang tryumphantly in all the respective Parishes But by reason of the sudden dispatch of the Post I am forced to conclude and remain Your Honours devoted servant J. RISHTON Newport 5 Octob. 1648. Postscript SIR SInce my last Here hath hapned severall Overtures between his Majesty and the Parliaments Commissioners they have had much debate upon the Propositions especially that concerning the Church which the King stuck much at but the dark Cloud being expelled and the splendor of the Gospell shining most gloriously in the eyes of his Majesty He was graciously pleased to declare his Royall Assent to all the Propositions and to grant His Royall Word to passe all things desired by his two Houses that may be agreeable and consonant to the fundamentall Lawes of this Kingdom And as to the busines of the Church which is all they stick at the King hath promised to give his concurrence therein rather then his People shall suffer for his dis●assenting And 14 dayes more being added to the Treaty it is hoped a fair conclusion will attend the happy beginning His Majesty hath delivered another Paper to the Commissioners which I have here inserted viz. CHARLES R. HIs Majesty resteth very much unsatisfied That you have now again wholly declined the answering of those three questions so clearly proposed by him which your selves also confesse to be of grea importance upon this only pretence That the whole volumn of Ecclesiasticall policy is contained in them Whereas his Majesty did neither expect nor require from you any large or polemicall Discourse concerning those Questions conceiving that you were in some sort obliged to have declared what your judgment was therein with the grounds thereof For certainly untill one of these three things can be clearly evidenced unto his Maj. 1. Either that there is no certain form of Church Government at all prescribed in the Word 2. That the Civill power may change the fame as they see cause 3 Or if it be unchangable that it was not Episcopall but some other his Maj. thinks himself excusable in the judgment of all reasonable men if he cannot be induced to give his consent to the utter abolition of that Government of the Church which he found here setled to his hands which hath continued all over the Christian world from the times of the Apostles untill this last Age.
