In my last I made mention of a Letter that came from the King concerning his Answer to the Proportions which being the substant all part of the Letter I shall not vary from the words I received it viz. C. R. In answer to all the Propositions concerning Religion His Maj. proposeth that he wil confirme the Presbyteriall Government the Assembly of Divines at Westminster and the Directory for three yeares being the time set downe by the two Houses so that His Maj. His Houshold be not hindred from that forme of Gods Service which they formerly had And also that a free consultation and debate be had with the Divines at Westminster twenty of His Maj. nomination being added unto them whereby it may be determined by His Maj. the two Houses how the Church shall be governed after the said three yeares or sooner if differences may be agreed Touching the Covenant His Maj. is not yet therein satisfied and desires to respite His particular answer thereunto untill His comming to London because it being a matter of conscience he cannot give a resolution therein till he may be assisted with the advice of some of His owne Chaplains which have hitherto bin denied him and then he will make cleerly appear both his zeale to the Protestant Profession and the Union of those two Kingdomes which he conceives to be the maine drift of this Covenant To the 7. 8. Propositions his Majesty will consent to the 9.

That the whole power of the Militia both by Sea Land for the space of ten yeares be in the hands of such persons as the two houses shall nominate afterwards to return to the proper channel again as it was fn the times of Q. Eliz. K. Iames of blessed memory His Maj. therefore desires that his two houses of Parliament would seriously descend into these considerations and likewise tenderly look upon his condition herein the perpetuall dishonour that must cleave to him if Hee shall thus abandon so many persons of Condition and Fortune that have ingaged themselves with for Him out of a sence of Duty and propounds as a very acceptable testimony of their affection towards him That a generall Act of Oblivion and free Pardon bee forthwith passed by Act of Parliament Concerning the Officers mentioned in the 19.
