A LETTER From his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax SENT To both Houses of Parliament June the 6. concerning the KINGS being brought from Holmby towards the Army with all the perticulers about the same Wherein is set forth to all the world the cleare and candid intentions of his Excellency and the whole Army for the good of the Parliament and Kingdome in their restlesse endeavours for a sure and lasting true Peace Published to silence the many false reports already raised and to prevent the like for the future June 8th LONDON Printed for George Whittington at the blew Anchor in Corne-hill neere the royall Exchange 1647 A Letter from his Excellencie Sir Thomas Fairfax sent to both Houses of Parliament concerning the Kings being brought from Holdenby towards the Army Mr. Speaker BY my last of Fryday the 4. instant I gave you account of what I understood from Holmby concerning the undertaking of some Souldiers on Wednesday last to secure the King from being secretly conveyed away and that Col. Graves being therupon secretly slipt away I had sent Col. Whalley with his Regiment to attend the Comissioners and take charge of the guards there On Satturday morning being at a Randezvouze beyond Newmarket and advancing the Army this way in order quarter about Cambridge I received advertisement That the Souldiers of Holmby had upon Fryday morning with his Majesties consent brought him away from thence together with your Commissioners That they lay at Hinchingbrook neare Huntingdon on Friday night and would bee at Newmarket that day The ground of this remove was alleadged to be an apprehension in the Souldiers of some Forces gathering towards that place suddenly to fall upon them and force the King out of their hands to withstand which they thought they might be too weake having then no notice of Col. Whaleyes coming with his Regiment upon this immediatly I sent after C. Whaley to advertise him thereof with order to direct his course towards Huntingdon and where ere he met his Majesty and the Commissioners to desire that they would come on no further this way but rather to returne and suffer him to guard them back And to prevent any danger imaginable therein I sent off from the Rendezvouze two Regiments of Horse more to march after Col. Whalley towards Huntingdon and so on towards Holdenby to be assistant to him in the Guards about his Majesty if it should bee found needfull And thus I held on the motion of the rest of the Army this way Towards Evening after the Quarters of the Armie were assigned and taken up hereabouts and the Regiments marching off towards their severall Quarters I understood from Colonel Whalley that meeting the King and your Commissioners upon their way from Huntington towards Newmarket about foure miles short of Cambridge they had forborn to come on any further but his Majestie being not willing to returne back for Holmby they had taken up his Quarter for present at Sir Iohn Cuts house at Childerley being the next house of any conveniencie to the place where hee met them Hereupon I sent thither Sir Hardres Waller and Col. Lambert to informe the Commissioners of my coming to Cambridge and the Armies quartering hereabouts to desire that they would think of returning backe with his Majestie to Holdenby and because there might be many inconveniencies in delay that they would not make any stay where they were but remove backe that way next morning though it were the Lords Day the Commissioners refused to act or meddle any otherwise in disposing the King then by their Answer to mee whereof I have sent you a Copie here inclosed you see And his Majestie declares himselfe very anwilling to go back to Holmby I have thus given you a true and faithfull account how his Majestie came to the place where he is and how the Quarters of the Army have fallen out to be so neare him what ever by the concurrence of events to make it thus may be suspected of designe therein This is the exact truth of the businesse and I can clearly professe as in the presence of God for my selfe and dare be confident of the same for all the Officers about me and body of the Army that this remove of his Majestie from Holmby was without any designe knowledge or privity thereof on our parts and a thing altogether unexpected to us untill the notice of it came upon the Randezvouz as before neither the Randezvouz or coming hither to quarter with the Army from any purpose or with any expectation to be so neere His Maj. as it happens But the effect is so farr meerly providentiall and to us accidentall but the case being as it is your Commissioners refusing to intermeddle as before and the King to go back I have placed and shall continue about his Majesty such a Guard of trusty men and under such Command Collonel Whalley being chiefe in the charge as I may be responsall for to the Parliament and Kingdome so farre as can reasonably be expected from me by the blessing of God to secure his Majesties person from danger and prevent any attempts of such as may designe by that advantage of his Person the best to raise any new warre in this Kingdome And truly Sir to prevent any such mischiefe as it is my owne most earnest and humble desire so I finde it to be the unanimous desire and study of the Army that a firme peace in this Kingdome may be setled and the liberties of the people cleared and secured accordingly to the many Declarations by which we were invited and induced to ingage in the late war and the Parliaments effectuall and speedy application to these two things I find would conduce more fully and surely to a chearefull and unanimous disbanding And yet what ever may be suggested or suspected I do certainly find and dare assure you you may depend upon it That the sence of the Army is most cleer from any purpose or inclination to oppose the setling of Presbyterie or to have the Independant Government set up or to up-hold a licentiousnesse in Religion or to meddle with any such thing to the advancement of any particular party or interest whatsoever but to leave all such particular matters to the wisdome of the Parliament I shall by the next send you a full Account of the proceeding and unanimous resolutions of the Army at the late Randezvouze being not at present prepared so fully to do it as is fit The letter from both Houses I have received but this night the Quarters of the Army being lately altered before will make the Heath neere Newmarket lesse convenient for a Randezvouze yet I shall take order according to the desire of the Houses to have a Randezvouze either there or nor fame of on Wednesday next I remain Your most humble and faithful servant FAIRFAX Cambridge June 6. 1647.
