Will. Pierrepoint Will. Armyne B. Witlocke Jo Holland The Kings Reply touching Cessation and desire to enable the Committee to treat upon the Propositions in the mean time and touching His coming to the Parliament C. R. IF the Comittee according to his Majesties desire had had but power to agree in the wording of expressions in the Articles of cessation His Majesties which are as cleer as the matter would bear and as he could make them had not appeared so doubtfull to any but that the cessation might have bin suddenly speedily resolved and that long before this time And if the expression of both Houses in their reasons had not necessitated his Majesty in his own defence to give such answers as could not upon those points deliver truth without some shew of sharpnes no expression of that kind in his Majesties answer had given any pretence for the rejection of or refusing so much as to treat upon this cessation which though it were at present for no long time yet was from the day named by themselves the 25th of March Whereas his Majesty first mov'd for a Cessation and treaty without any limitation at all in the time of either and his Majestie was most ready to have enlarg'd the time so that in the meane while the point of quarters might be so setled as that his Armies might subsist and which might have beene if they had pleas'd a very good and promising earnest and fore-runner of that great blessing of Peace for the obtaining of which the wishes and endeavours of all good men being earnestly bent a farther debate in order to so great a benefit did not deserve to be stiled a consumption of time And his Majesty cannot but conceive himselfe to be in a strange condition if the doubtfulnesse of expressions which must alwayes be whil'st the treaty is at such a distance and power is denied to those upon the place to helpe to cleere and explaine or his necessary Replying to charges layd upon him that hee might not seeme to acknowledge what was so charged or the limitation of the time of seven dayes for the treaty which was not limited by his Majesty who ever desired to have avoyded that and other limitations which have given great interruptions to it should bee as well believed to bee the grounds as they are made the arguments of the Rejection of that which next to Peace it selfe his Majesty above all things most desires to see agreed and setled and which his Majesty hopes if it may bee yet agreed on will give his people such a taste of such a blessing that after a short time of consideration and comparing of their severall conditions in war and Peace and what should move them to suffer so much by a change they will not thinke those their friends that shall force them to it or bee themselves ready to contribute to the renewing of their former miseries without some greater evidence of necessity than can appeare to them when they shall have seen as they shall see if this treaty be suffered to proceed That his Majesty neither asks nor denies any thing but what not only according to Law He may but what in Honor and care of his people He is oblig'd to ask or deny And this alone which a very short Cessation would produce His Majesty esteems a very considerable advantage to the Kingdom And therfore cannot but presse again and again that what ever is thought doubtfull in the expressions of the Articles may as in an hour it may well be done be expounded and whatsoever is excepted at may be debated and concluded and that power and instructions may be given to the Committee to that end That the miserable effects of War the effusion of English bloud and desolation of England untill they can bee totally taken away may by this means be staied and interrupted His Majesty supposes That when the Committee was last required to desire his Majesty to give a speedy and positive Answer to the first Proposition concerning disbanding His Answers in that point to which no Reply hath been made and which He hopes by this time have given satisfaction were not transmitted and received But wonders the Houses should presse his Majesty for a speedy and positive Answer to the first part of their first Proposition concerning disbanding when to the second part of the very same Proposition concerning his return to both Houses of Parliament they had not given any power or instructions to the Committee so much as to treat with his Majesty And when his Majesty if his desire of peace and of speeding the treaty in order to that had not been prevalent with him might with all manner of Justice have delayed to begin to treat upon one part untill they had beene enabled to treat upon the other In which point and for want of which power from them the only stop now remains His Majesties Answers to both parts of their first Proposition being given in transmitted and yet remaining unanswered To which untill the Houses shall be at leisure to make Answer that as little delay in this Treaty as is possible may be caused by it His Majesty desires likewise That the Committee may be enabled to treat upon the following Propositions in their severall orders A Letter from both Houses April 8. WE have sent unto you by this Gentleman Sir Peter Killegrewe some additionall Instructions by which your Lordship and the rest of the Committee will perceive the Resolutions which the Houses have taken upon the papers which they received this day from you This is all we have in command and remaine Westminster this 8 of April 1643.

A farther Addition of Instructions agreed upon by the Lords and Commons in Parliament for Algernon Earl of Northumberland William Pierrepoint Esquire Sir William Armyne Baronet Sir John Holland Baronet and Bulstrode Whitelock Esquire Committees of both Houses of Parliament attending His Majesty at Oxon. YOu are hereby to take notice That the two Houses have considered his Majesties Answer to their reasons concerning the Cessation wherein there are divers expressions which reflect much upon the honor and Justice of the Houses and might occasion particular Replies Yet at this time they desire to decline all contestation their wishes and endeavours being earnestly bent upon the obtaining a speedy peace For which cause they do not think good to consume any more of that time allowed for the treaty in any farther debates upon the Cessation concerning which they find his Majesties expressions so doubtfull that is cannot be suddenly or easily resolved and the remainder of the time for the whole treaty being but seven dayes if the Cessation were presently agreed it would not yeild any considerable advantage to the kingdom Wherfore you shall desire his Majesty That he will be pleased to give a speedy and positive Answer to their first Propostion concerning the disbanding that so the people many not have only a shadow of peace in a short time of Cessation but the substance of it in such manner as may be a perpetuall blessing to them by freeing the Kingdome from those miserable effects of War the effusion of English bloud and desolation of many parts of the Land For the obtaining of which happinesse The Lords and Commons have resolved to enlarge your power That if you shall not have fully agreed upon the two first Propositions before Friday night you may notwithstanding any former restraint proceed to treat upon them according to the Instructions formerly given you although the Articles of the cessation are not agreed upon And those two first Propositions being concluded the two Houses will thereupon give you further instructions to proceed to the other Propositions that so the whole treaty may be determined within the twenty dayes formerly limited to be reckoned from the 25. of March last which can admit no alteration or enlargement without manifold prejudice and danger to the whole Kingdom John Brown Cler. Parliamentorum The Paper to the King upon the Instructions for disbanding Received April 8. 1643. BY Instructions this day received from both Houses of Parliament we humbly conceive that we are to acquaint Your Majesty That they have taken into consideration Your Majesties Answer to their reasons concerning the cessation wherein there are divers expressions which will occasion particular replies which at this time they desire to decline their wishes and endeavours being earnestly bent upon the obtaining a speedy peace for which cause they do not think good to consume any more of the time allowed for the treaty in any farther debates upon the cessation concerning which they find your Majesties expressions so doubtful that it cannot be suddenly or easily resolved and the remainder of the time for the whole treaty being but 7 dayes if the cessation were not presently agreed it would not yeeld any considerable advantage to the kingdom Wherfore we are required to desire your Majesty to give a speedy and positive answer to the first proposition concerning the disbanding that so your subjects may not only have a shadow of peace in a short time of cessation but the substance of it in such manner as may be a perpetuall blessing to them by freeing the Kingdom from those miserable effects of War the effusion of English bloud and desolation of many parts of the land Northumberland

Law was His own as His Majesty was pleased to expresse it and take from Him should be restored unto Him without any conditioning or new lymitations to be put upon Him or His Ministers And now the Lords and Commons will referre it to the world to judge whither their demands were not such and so moderate as was fit and necessary for them to make and just and reasonable for His Majesty to assent unto wherein they may be pleased to consider That this was a Treaty for the disbanding of two Armies and Forces raised in opposition each to other That the Towns Forts and Ships are a great part of these Forces and of the strength of that side that possesseth them That for any one side to demand the possession and power thereof and the other side to disband their forces and quit themselves of all their strength is in effects a totall disbanding of that side and a continuing the forces of the other which must be granted to be most unequall And therefore the Lords and Commons did think it just and honourable That the remaining strength should be put into such hands as both sides might trust Secondly That their demand to have the Forts and Castles into the hands of such persons as both Houses should confide in was a Proposition warranted by the frequent * The fourth of Edward the third Articw 1. against Roger Mortimer The King had put to him four Bishops four Earls and four Barons without whose content or of some of them no great businessle was to be transacted Rot.
