Elsinge Cler. Parl. D. Com His Majestys Message to both his House of Parliament in answer to the Articles of Cessation received at a Conference Martii 6. 1642. HIs Majesty hoped the Treaty would have bin begun and the Cessation agreed on long since and that much might in this time have been concluded in Order to the Peace and happinesse of the Kingdom but since in almost a moneth for his Majesty Propositions were made on the third of February and he heard not since from both Houses till the first of March no consent hath beene yeelded to it Hee conceives the Cessation cannot begin so soone as the fourth of this Moneth by which time though his Majestie uses no delay in making his Answer the same can hardly be returned to them And many of the Articles now presented to him from both Houses concerning the Cessation are so strict that such of his good Subjects who are not of his Army and for whom generally hee shall alwayes have a principall just and compassionate regard receive not any benefit or are restored to any libertie thereby which his Majestie shall ever insist upon when in matters meerely concerning himselfe he may descend to easier Conditions and which he hath returned with such Alteterations as he doubts not both Houses will consent to and doe sufficiently manifest how sollicitous his Majestie is for the good of his people and how desirous he is that in this unnaturall Contention no more blood of his Subjects may be spilt upon which he lookes with much griefe compassion and tendernesse of heart even of those who have listed up their hands against him and his Majestie therefore desires against which he can imagine no objection can be made that the Cessation may begin upon the Twelfth of this Moneth or sooner if the Conditions of the Cessation shall be sooner agreed on and is willing the same shall continue for twenty dayes in which time he hopes by the Treaty and a cleere understanding of each other a full peace and happinesse may be established throughout in Kingdome And during that time his Majestie is willing that neither side shall be bound or limited by this Cessation in any otherwise or to any other purpose then is hereafter expressed 1 That all manner of Armes Ammunition Money Bullion and victuals passing for the use of either Army without a passe or safe conduct from the Generalls of each Army may be stayed and seized on as if no Cessation were agreed on at all 2 That all Officers and Souldiers of either Army passing without such licence or safe Conduct as aforesaid may be apprehended and detained as if no such Cessation were agreed on at all And that all manner of persons his Majesties Subjects of what quality or condition soever except Officers and Souldiers of either Army shall passe to and from the Cities of Oxford and London and backe againe at their pleasures during this Cessation as likewise to and from any other parts of his Majesties Dominions without any search stay or imprisonment of their persons or seizure and detention of their goods or estates And that all manner of Trade Traffique and Commerce be free and open betweene all his Majesties subjects excepting as aforesaid betweene the officers and souldiers of either Armie or for Armes Ammunition Money Bullion or victuals for the use of either Army without a Passe or safe Conduct as aforesaid which may be a good beginning to renew the trade and correspondence of the Kingdome and whereby his good Subjects may be restored to that liberty and freedome they were borne to and have so happily enjoyed till these miserable distractions and which even during this warre his Majestie hath to his utmost laboured to preserve opening the way by most strict Proclamations to the passage of all commodities even to the City of London it selfe 3 That his Majesties forces in Oxfordshire shall advance no neerer to Windsor then Wheatly and in Buckinghamshire no neerer to Aylesbury then Brill and that in Bark-shire the forces respectively shall not advance neerer the one to other then they shall be at the day to be agreed upon for the Cessation to begin And that the forces of the other Army in Oxfordshire shall advance no neerer to Oxford then Henley and those in Buckinghamshire no neerer to Oxford then Aylesbury And that the forces of neither Army shall advance their quarters neerer to each other then they shall be upon the day agreed on for the Cessation to begin otherwise then in Passage and communication betweene their severall Quarters respectively without any acts of Hostility each to other but any inlarge themselves within their owne Quarters respectively as they shall find convenient 4 That the forces of either army in Glocestershire Wiltshire and Wales as likewise in the Cities of Glocester Bristoll and the Castle and Towne of Berkley shall be guided by the Rule exprest in the later part of the precedent Article 5 That in case it be pretended on either side that the Cessation is violated no act of Hostility is immediately to follow but first the party complaining is to acquaint the Lord Generall on the other side and to allow three dayes after notice given for satisfaction and in case satisfaction be not given or accepted then five dayes notice to be given before hostility begin And the like to be observed in the remoter armies by the Commanders in chiefe 6 That all other forces the Kingdome of England and Dominion of Wales not before mentioned shall remaine in the same Quarters and places as they are at the time of publishing this Cessation otherwise then in passage and communication betweene their severall Quarters as is mentioned in the later part of the third Article And that this

Cessation shall not extend to restraine the setting forth or imploying and Ships for the defence of his Majesties Dominions Provided that his Majesty be first acquainted with the particulats and that such Ships as shall be set forth be commanded by such persons as his Majestie shall approve of 7 Lastly that during the Cessation none of his Majesties subjects be imprisoned otherwise then according to the knowne Lawes of the Land And that there shall be no plundring or violence offered to any of his Subjects And his Majesty is very willing if there be any scruples made concerning these propositions and circumstances of the Cessation That the Committee for the Treaty nevertheless may immediately come hither and so all matters concerning the Cessation may be here settled by him H.

Elsynge Cler. Parl. D. Com. His Majesties Answer to the Desires and Propositions of both Houses February the third 1642. Received at a Conference with the Lords February the sixt 1642. IF his Majesty had not given up all the faculties of his soul to an earnest endeavour of a Peace and reconciliation with his People or if he would suffer himself by any Provecation to be drawn to a sharpness of Language at a time when there seems somewhat like an Overture of Accommedation hee could not but resent the heavy charges upon him in the Preamble of these Propositions and would not suffer himself to be reproached with protecting of Delinquents by force from Justice his Majesties desire having always bin that all men should be Tryed by the knowne Law and having been refused it with raising an Army against his Parliament and to be told that Armes have been taken up against him for defence of Religion Laws Liberties Priviledges of Parliament and for the sitting of the Parliament in safety with many other particulars in that Preamble so often and so fully answered by his Majesty without remembring the World of the time and circumstances of raising those Arms against him when his Majsety was so far from being in a condition to invade other mens Rights that he was not able to maintain and defend his owne from violence And without telling his good Subjects that their Religion the true Protestant Religion in which his Majesty was born hath faithfully lived and to which he will die a willing Sacrisice thier Laws Liverties Priviledges and safety of Parliament were so amply setled and estavlished or offered to be so by his Majesty before any Army was raised against him and long before any raised by him for his defence that if nothing had been desired but that Peace and Protection which his Subjects and their Ancestors had in the best times enjoyed under his Majesty or his Royall Predecessors this misunderstanding and distance between his Majesty and his people and this generall misery and destraction upon the face of the whole Kingdome had not beene now the discourse of Christendome But his Majesty will forbeare any Expressions of Bitternesse or of a sence of his own sufferings that if it be possible the memory thereof may be lost to the World And therefore though many of the Propositions presented to his Majesty by both Houses appeare to him very derogatory from and destructive to his just power and Prerogative and no way beneficiall to his Subjects few of them being already due to them by the Laws established And how unparliamentary it is by Arms to requite new Laws all the World may judge yet because these may be waved or mollified
