Octob. 1648. New propositions presented to his Majesty 1 That your Maj. according to the laudable example of your Royall Father of happy memory may be pleased to swear and sign the late Solemn League and Covenant and that an act of Parl. be passed for the injoyning the taking thereof by all the subjects of the Kingdom c. 2 That a Bill be passed for the utter abolishing and taking away of all Arch-bishops Bishops their Chancellors and Commissaries Deans and Sub-Deans and all other Officers whatsoever out of the Church of England and Dominion of Wales and out of the Church of Ireland 3 That the Ordinances concerning the calling and sitting of the Assembly of Divines be confirmed by Act of parliament 4 That Reformation of Religion according to the Covenant be setled by act of parliament in such manner as both Houses have agreed or shall agree upon after consultation had with the Assembly of Divines 5 That for the more effectuall disabling Jesuits priests papists and popish Recusants from disturbing the State and deluding the Laws and for the better discovering and speedy conviction of popish Recusants an Oath be established by act of parliament to be administred to them wherein they abjure and renounce the popes Supremacy the Doctrine of Transubstantiation purgatory worshipping of the Consecrated Hoast Crucifixes and Images and all popish Superstitions and Errors and refusing the said Oath being tendred in such manner as shall be appointed by the said Act to be a sufficient Conviction of popish Recusants 6 An Act or Acts of parliament for education of the children of papists by protestants in the protestant Religion 7 An Act for the true Leavy of the penalties against them which penalties to be levied and disposed in such manner as both Houses shall agree on wherein to be provided that his Majesty shall have no losse 8 That an act be passed in parliament whereby the practises of papists may be prevented and a stricter course taken to prevent tht saying or hearing of Mass in the Court or any other part of this Kingdom or the Kingdom of Ireland To the four first it s said his Maj. makes some scruple at to the latter we hear that He gave his Royall assent on Munday last The Propositions of Prince Charles to the Earl of Warwick their Ingagement at Sea and a dangerous Fight thereupon SIR VPon the neer approach of our Fleet to the revolted ships the Princes Mariners began to mutiny His Highness caused a Councell to be called advised with his Officers of a speedy facile way to unite the said ships and it was agreed that every chief Officer in the ships should declare that His Highnesse had procured 6000. li. in Gold which they should have amongst them with many other promises and perswasions that the treaty would end all differences both by Sea and Land and then they should come off with more honour then accepting of an Act of Indempnity now and finding that the Saylers were somwhat pacified for the present the Prince sent a Message to the Lord Admirall declaring his great dislike that his Lordship should endeavour any way to draw His servants from Him requiring him to desist for the future to do the like and come and joyn with Him which doing He would procure a pardon for him from the King His Royall Father The L. Admirall answered that he takes it in dishonor that either in himself or any others there should be the least thought of his breaking the trust reposed in him acquainting his Highnesse that if he were exposed to the greatest extremity that is incident to man he would neever dissert the Parliaments service and being in a good condition at Sea his advice to the Prince was to come joyn with the Parl. but its thought nothing will be effected till it s known how the treaty goes and we hear that Sir T.

Armes to recrute Duke Hambletons forces which were taken the last week going for Scotland Some action hath happened between the two Fleets upon the Princes indeavour to sayl from Gory and two of his ships in danger of sinking From aboard the George 7 Octob. 1648.
