A LETTER FROM Newcastle Published for Generall satisfaction SIR THE King being returned from Tinmouth Castle Wednesday the 2. Instant at night His Majesty came to his Quarters in Newcastle Monsieur Belliver the French Embassadour still with him we heare that Montrill is dispatched by the Estates of France but he is not yet returned hither whether he goes first to meet the Lord Digby or not I cannot advertise you But he is expected here On Thursday September the 3. His Majesty had notice that Duke Hamilton the Earle of Craford Linsey the Earle of Castles the Lord Balmarinoth and 6. other Barrons and Burgesses would be at Newcastle the next day with divers papers from the Estates of Edenborough that day His Majestie spent some time in private and tooke a little recreation at Goffe On Fryday September the 4. the Quarters were made ready for the Reception of the Commissioners accordingly as was thought fit and they were received into the Towne with very much gladnesse by many who pray that they may prevaile with His Majestie On Saturday the 5. the Commissioners acquainting His Majestic that they were come from the Estates of Scotland and that they desired that they might have audience which was appointed by His Majestie On the Lords day September the 6. His Majesty heard wholsom doctrine preached unto him addresses of godly Ministers to perswade him to harken to the requests of his Kingdomes The Commissioners had also two of their Ministers preached to them one in the fore noone and the other in the afternoone to give encouragements out of Gods Word to go on in labouring what they may in the work of the Lord assuring them that however they shall not lose their reward On Munday the 7. we had some complaints here that there were Countrie people who had bin at Faires in these parts who had suffcred by som unrulie Souldiers which I know you cannot be ignorant that such things will be where Armies quarter On Tuesday the 8. and so also severall times before that the Commissioners have been with His Majestie and divers passages have fallen between them amongst the rest Yesterday being Wednesday the 9. of this present September 16●6 There were severall speeches made the first was delivered by the Duke of Hamilton who when they were come to His Majesty on the said Wednesday and received Audience His Lordship spake to this effect before His Majestie That they were againe returned to His Majestie from the Kingdom of Scotland and that they were commanded by the Committee of Estates at Edenborough from whom they had received an order for that purpose to desire the King First that out of the deepe sence of the bleeding miseries and calamities of His Kingdomes His Majestie would be pleased to take the Covenant and subscribe to it And 2. That His Majestie will likewise signe the Propofitions that were presented to him at Newcastle by the Commissioners of both Kingdoms it being the onely way to make His Majesty happy and to settle all the Kingdoms in Peace And withall that hee was come partly to cleere himself and that Family whereof he is by reason that there are rumours spread abroad that they sh●uld be the men on whom at this time as things now stand his Majestie did much rely on for the carrying on of his designs against the Parliaments of the Kingdomes against which his Lordship doth protest and therefore further told his Majestie That for his part as the two Kingdomes were joined in so blessed a union against those who have sought to destroy them so he would to the uttermost of his power joine with them to oppose any that should in any kind kinder so great and good a work After that Duke Hamilton had done speaking which he performed with much wisedome gravitie and freenesse The Earl of Lanerick who was then present spake to this effect following That the Transactions of the affairs of the Kingdomes are now gone so farre that they would bee very sodainly put to it to consider what to do with and how to dispose of his Majesty for the Armie being now to go home and that they were to deliver up all the Garrisons in England and all of them to return into their own Countrey of Scotland That therefore they should consider what to doe in this case because when they are going away what could they then do with his Majestie And then making a pause a while his Lordship spake further to this effect That if they should take the King to Scotland they have no place to put his Majestie in but the Castle of Edenborough Th●n the Earl of Calender spake after that the Ea●l of Lanerick had done speaking the substance of whose speech was thus That he desired his Majestie to consider of what evill consequence it is to refuse to hearken to his Parliaments propounding what could his Majestie expect That if any person or persons whatsoever had perswaded him that he had a considerable Partie in this Armie and also at home to joyn with him surely he was much mistaken For the greatest Malignants of them all either in the one Kingdom or in the other have their mouths now stopped in beholding the two Kingdoms now joining ●o lovingly together Divers other passages there were in the Conference too large for me to insert here And at last the Duke Hamilton told the King that hee was commanded by the Committee of Estates to speak something to his Majestie which of himself he durst nor seeing he tendered his Majestie so much yet in obedience to his Commands it was his duty to speak it But his Majestie rose up and said That he knew the businesse very well and that hee would speak of that some other time On this present Thursday the 10. of Septemb The Ministers sent from the Kingdome of Scotland were with the King and spent much time with his Majestie the businesse that they were upon was about Ecclesiastical matters to cleer some points to his Majestie in matter of Conscience which took up some time though very little seeming to be prevalent in what they so laboured for yet they are resolved to do what they can and go on to the utmost in what lies in them and leave the event to God To morrow the Commissioners intend to bee with the King again to confer with his Majestie in point of honour By the next you shall be further advertized from Your Servant to his power E. N. Newcastle the 10. of Septemb. 1646. FINIS
