reason_n for_o the_o equity_n and_o expediencie_n of_o our_o desire_n but_o without_o a_o treaty_n or_o give_v reason_n for_o assert_v the_o lawfulness_n and_o expediency_n of_o the_o proposition_n to_o be_v present_v they_o may_v be_v esteem_v imposition_n 4._o the_o king_n may_v have_v some_o just_a desire_n to_o move_v for_o the_o crown_n and_o for_o himself_o as_o that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o revenue_n and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o royal_a government_n which_o may_v be_v do_v with_o great_a honour_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o he_o by_o a_o personal_a treaty_n than_o otherwise_o 5._o a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o the_o king_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o beget_v a_o mutual_a confidence_n between_o he_o and_o his_o parliament_n it_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o clear_v his_o doubt_n and_o to_o remove_v all_o difficulty_n and_o it_o be_v the_o absolute_a best_a way_n for_o give_v and_o receive_v mutual_a satisfaction_n 6._o we_o can_v expect_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v grant_v in_o terminis_fw-la whatsoever_o proposition_n shall_v be_v send_v unto_o he_o nor_o can_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o proposition_n be_v of_o that_o importance_n as_o that_o the_o not_o grant_v of_o it_o ought_v to_o hinder_v a_o peace_n neither_o will_v the_o house_n of_o parliament_n give_v full_a power_n to_o their_o commissioner_n to_o make_v alteration_n in_o the_o proposition_n as_o they_o shall_v see_v cause_n upon_o debate_n wherefore_o a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o his_o majesty_n at_o london_n be_v the_o most_o probable_a and_o expeditious_a way_n to_o remove_v or_o reconcile_v all_o difference_n there_o be_v one_o common_a objection_n wherewith_o many_o be_v possess_v and_o prejudice_v against_o a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o the_o king_n and_o his_o come_n to_o london_n that_o his_o presence_n may_v breed_v division_n and_o continue_v our_o trouble_n and_o that_o when_o his_o majesty_n desire_v to_o come_v hither_o from_o oxford_n with_o freedom_n and_o safety_n it_o be_v think_v unfit_a and_o deny_v by_o the_o house_n and_o the_o commissioner_n from_o scotland_n but_o that_o argument_n now_o have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o for_o the_o case_n of_o affair_n the_o king_n condition_n and_o we_o which_o be_v give_v for_o reason_n in_o that_o answer_n to_o his_o majesty_n be_v quite_o alter_v from_o what_o they_o be_v then_o then_o the_o king_n have_v army_n in_o the_o field_n he_o have_v garrison_n and_o strong_a hold_v to_o return_v to_o now_o he_o have_v none_o of_o these_o and_o his_o majesty_n offer_v a_o full_a security_n against_o all_o hostility_n or_o danger_n can_v be_v expect_v from_o he_o by_o grant_v to_o the_o house_n the_o power_n of_o the_o militia_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n during_o his_o reign_n as_o be_v express_v in_o his_o majesty_n late_a message_n from_o caresbrook_n castle_n and_o for_o a_o further_a answer_n we_o desire_v the_o house_n to_o remember_v that_o reply_n to_o his_o majesty_n message_n of_o the_o 11_o of_o september_n 1642._o where_o after_o mention_n of_o their_o chief_a grievance_n they_o say_v all_o this_o notwithstanding_o as_o we_o never_o give_v your_o majesty_n any_o just_a cause_n of_o withdraw_a yourself_o from_o your_o great_a council_n so_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o as_o to_o give_v any_o impediment_n to_o your_o return_n or_o to_o neglect_v any_o proper_a mean_n of_o cure_v the_o distemper_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o close_v the_o dangerous_a breach_n betwixt_o your_o majesty_n and_o your_o parliament_n according_a to_o the_o great_a trust_n which_o lie_v upon_o we_o and_o if_o your_o majesty_n shall_v now_o be_v please_v to_o come_v back_o to_o your_o parliament_n without_o your_o force_n we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o secure_v your_o royal_a person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n with_o our_o life_n and_o fortune_n your_o presence_n in_o this_o great_a council_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o any_o treaty_n betwixt_o your_o majesty_n and_o they_o with_o hope_n of_o success_n and_o if_o they_o be_v esteem_v enemy_n to_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n who_o advise_v the_o king_n to_o withdraw_v from_o his_o parliament_n what_o estimation_n will_v the_o world_n have_v of_o they_o who_o after_o such_o a_o declaration_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o return_v to_o his_o parliament_n when_o he_o offer_v to_o cast_v himself_o into_o their_o arm_n if_o so_o kind_a a_o offer_n shall_v be_v refuse_v and_o the_o king_n drive_v to_o despair_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v these_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v involve_v into_o great_a difficulty_n than_o ever_o and_o therefore_o we_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o admit_v the_o king_n to_o come_v to_o london_n with_o honour_n freedom_n and_o safety_n and_o grant_v of_o a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o his_o majesty_n upon_o such_o proposition_n as_o shall_v be_v agree_v upon_o by_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o both_o kingdom_n be_v the_o most_o probable_a and_o only_o best_a mean_n with_o hope_n of_o success_n for_o settle_v a_o wel-grounded_n peace_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o ready_a mean_n to_o obtain_v a_o just_a and_o last_a peace_n we_o shall_v next_o fall_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o proposition_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o the_o most_o compendious_a and_o succinct_a way_n to_o a_o good_a agreement_n and_o unanimous_a resolution_n upon_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o consider_v and_o remove_v our_o difference_n
