The Copy of a Royall Letter sent from the King of France to the King of England ROYAL BROTHER ALthough the Imperiall Diademe hath crowned each of us by the omnipotent providence of the Almighty and those once dis-united might exasperate Our princely minde against the Brittish Nation yet the Noble lenity of your Clement Nature and the propitious consideration of those impendent and intricate perils wherein your Kingdomes are dangerously involved have respectively induced me to declare our good exortations and wel-wishes to you And whereas wee maid rely understood and with credible information received intelligence of the rebellious insurrection of Ireland We did respectively sympathize with your sollicitous deploration of their disastrous proceedings and will as shall be perspicuously declared hereafter vindicate their furious rebellion But your Majesty as hath been prou●d 〈◊〉 by report hath been mis-informed of divers particulars which not onely casts an indigne aspersion on our royall Name and Monarchicall Throne but highly derogates from Our Imperiall Prerogative and innocuous intention It hath beene publikely divulged That we alwayes made a ludi●●ious dirision at the perillous distractions of your Kingdomes and did not onely reioyce at the d●sloyalty of Ireland but also instigated those rebels with a calumnious suggestion to proceed in their bloudy Tyrannie as if they should depend in expecta●ion of our anxiliary assistance But we doe utterly defie and detest this sc●●●●lous and trecherous imputation reflected on Us. and doe withall desire that the Authors of this ●●●entitious Fable fathered on us may suffer exemplary punishment For We royally protest and ●nfirme with our cordall all 〈◊〉 on that wheras the dolefull intelligence of the Brittish distractions came to Our first audience We were so farre from entertaining any de●isive al●●●ly that We seriously rather deplored the preposterous condition of the same And as for the reb●llion in Ireland it did so stimulate Our Just indignation that We alwayes dis-affected the same and did not onely 〈◊〉 Our Subiects from presuming to conioyne with them but also did publish a Proclamation to the Epidemicall Aspect of all in disswasion from that 〈…〉 Wherefore in this 〈◊〉 We are infinitely ●●●sed and our royall Clemencie blasted with the infamous tongue of audacity for rather a reciprocall sympathy of those grievances did concurre in our Princely lenity then a contradictory antipathy of vindicative resolution found any entertainment of Tyrannicall habitation in Our commoted Ire Although many fugitive Delinquents as Finch and others escaping from Impartiall Justice supposed to find their Asylum in our realme yet impute not so vicious a connivance in our unspotted Innocencie for we will never protect them from impunity First then the fraternall concatenation of Brotherhood which by the legitimate bond of Nature We are enjoyned unto doth foment a sollicitous Indulgency in Our Princely minde to concord and co-union and not to inmate the precipitious demolition or at the least extenuation of each others Crown Secondly the singular love of our Sister which likewise by the respective injunction of Nature we are induced unto it doth by a sweet and delicious compulsion injoyne I le to corroborate and not to precipitate each others Throne Lastly the Firm League made between us which by the national Law of Kingdomes we are bound to observe doth propitiously instigate us to preserve each others Imperiall Diadems All these unitely concurring together to the plausible composition of mutuall tranquility did respectively injoyne us in a reciprocall coaction to declare Our Royall Intents and indulgent desires for the flourishing prosperity of England We applaud you for the royall entertainement of our Mother although We have little cause in regard of her intestine Stratagem against Us yet Wee conceive had she continued longer in England she would have suddenly brought the State to a destructive ruine notwithstanding all the sinister deprecations which we wish her are that in what Climate soever she resides in at length she may peaceably consummate her daies in an happy period We now involve our intentions to the dangerous affaires of Icland whose barbarous insolencie We will sedulously endeavour to cohibit in the limited termination of Loyalty and Obedience to you their dread Soveraigne What I now implore and desire more is contained in these concise subsequent Declarations First that your Maiesty would be graciously pleased to expedite and animate your Parliament to deliberate things in a conclusive confirmation that as they have begun Nobly they may conclude with more fortunate successe to the future security of the Realme for procrastination in State matters doth either discourage some in the same Nation whose imminent grievances are not easied or at least doth animate forraigne Enemies to perfect any conspiracie against a Kingdome but a sudden conclusion doth both create alacrity in the Joyfull mindes of Subiects and also prevent what stratageme may be in agitation Secondly We desire that your Parliament would correspondently accord with your Maiesty without any opposition on either sides that thus unitely concurring together the waighty affaires of the Kingdome may bee determinated with more facility Lastly what we desire more is that you would expedite your consultations for the more propirious reliefe of Ireland And for our selfe we royally protest that we will confirme our former resolution to curbe the Tyrannicall insolencie of those Rebels which shall be a sufficient testimony of our indulgent affection to your Maiesties prosperous 〈◊〉 and the undoubted security of your 〈…〉 1641.
