concerning his return to Holmby and ●hat he cannot give his Royall assent for complyance with the said Vote having fully resolved for Windsor and to that end great preparations are making for the entertainment of His Royall Person divers Carriages being already dispatched thither for the better accommodation of his Majesty His Majesty further declared That He desires the Duke of York and the rest of His Children at London may be speedily sent down thither which if granted it will give great satisfaction to his Majesty by reason of his long and earnest desire to see those Princely Babes

Sumpture horses might be forthwith in readinesse which was accordingly performed His Majesty hath further declared that he desires nothing more earnestly then to see this languishing Kingdome setled in peace and unity that so all his loyall Subjects throughout his Majesties Realms and Dominions may enjoy a firme and lasting Peace And for the accomplishing of these his Majesties Desires the Officers and Souldiers under command of his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax hath sent up Propositions for Peace to Both Houses of Parliament for the speedy setling of the Kingdome of England and Dominion of Wales in peace and amity which Propositions are briefly drawn up into 8 Heads as followeth Propositions for Peace proposed to both Houses of Parliament for a safe and well-grounded Peace

Army may be presently paid up equally to those that have deserted it 3 That His Majesties coming to Richmond may be suspended untill affairs be setled And in the mean time no place may be appointed

deserted the Army may be instantly discharged and dispersed and receive no more of their arrears till the Army be first satisfied 6 That both Parliament and City may be speedily and effectually freed from those multitudes of Reformadoes souldiers before mentioned that flock together bout London by a speedy dispatch and discharging of them from the City 7 That such listings or raising of new Forces or drawing together of any before mentioned and all preparations towards a new war may be effectually declared against and suppressed as also all invitations or endeavours to draw in forreign forces 8

setlement and composure By the appointment of His Excellence Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Councell of Warre JOHN RUSHWORTH Secretary In answer to which the Generall hath received the Votes of both Houses of Parliamen which hath given a great deale of satisfaction to the army they being now satisfied in most of their desi●e● Whereupon the Generall presently gave out Orders for the drawing back of the army and the Head-quarters to be at Wickham 27. miles from London And in further pursuance of the said vote the Generall writ a Letter to the Commissioners of Parliament with the army and another to the Commissioners for the City of London for them to acquaint the Parl. and City with the proceedings of the army and their drawing further back from London My Lords and Gentlemen BY the Votes you pleased to communicate to me this morning I find the Parliament hath taken into their consideration the Propositions of the army which necessarily craved some satisfaction before the with drawing of it and that their progresse already made though but in part meets with such a complyance in my Councell of war that it begets in them a generall confidence of the Houses speedy and full answer to the remaining Propositions and therfore to testifie the readinesse of this army to observe the Commands of Parliament they have resolved to remove the army to a farther distance and the head quarters to be at Wickham believing that this forwardnesse on their part to satisfie both Parliament City will not retard but hasten the Resolutions of the Houses with a full satisfaction to the
