This morning early His maiesty being prohibited to attempt comming to London or VVestminster and all his messages and proposalls for peace being denyed and an Army ready to inviron him within the Walls of Oxford was enforced of two inevitable evills to chuse which he conceived the lesser viz. to flye to the Scottish Army then before Newarke for protection thinking by that meanes to preserve his life and more easily to compose these unhapy differences betwixt him and his Subiects About the same time that perfidious Prelate and shame of the Clergy williams the Apostate-Archbishop of Yorke deserted His Majesty put a Garrison in and fortified his House at Purin neare Conway in wales and protested against the Kings Party which he had formerly sworne to maintain May 2. The Parliaments Army commanded by Sir Thomas Fairfax the second time Leagured before Oxford 4. The Treaty began at Newarke The same day the Houses not being yet certainly informed where His Majesty was gone and suspecting Him to be in London concealed by the Major or some other honest Citizen to the end His Majesty should not finde any place whereon quietly to rest his head they passed an Order and publisht it by beat of Drumme throughout the Citie of London and westminster That what person soever should harbour and conceale or know of the harbouring or concealing of the Kings Person and should not reveale it immediately to the Speakers of both Houses should be proceeded against as a Traitor to the Common-wealth forfeit his whole Estate and die without mercy Was it ever heard of before speake you Lawyers that to harbour the Kings Person was or could be Treason 5. But whilst they were searching of the Lord Majors House for him an act beyond president wherein the Honour of the Citie is yet not a little concerned His Majesty arrived at Southwell and from thence was he conducted into the Scottish Army 6. Upon notice whereof the Commons voted that the Scottish Commissioners and the Generall of the Scottish Army should be desired that His Majesties person be disposed of as both houses shall desire and direct And that he be thence disposed of and sent a Prisoner to Warwick Castle And further Ordered that Master Ashburnham and the rest that came with the King into the Scottish Quarters should be sent for as Delinquents c. 8.

His majesty being resolved to comply with the Parliament in every thing that should be for the happinesse of His subjects and for the removing of all unhappy differences which had produced so sad effects c. And that He would take a speedy course for easing and quieting his afflicted people by satisfiing the publique debts by disbanding of all Armies and whatsoever else should be judged conducible to that end that so all hindrances being removed He might returne to His Parliament with mutuall comfort And being desirous to shun tho further effusion of blood and to evidence His reall intentions to peace His majesty further signified unto them that he was willing that his forces in about Oxford should be disbanded the fortifications of the City dismantled they receiving Honourable conditions which being granted to the Towne and forces there His majesty would give the like Order to the rest of the Garrisons The same day began the Treaty at Marston a mile from Oxford 19. It was voted That this Kingdome the Parl. at Westminster had no further need of the Army of their Brethren in Rebellion the Scots in this Kingdome And further that the summe of 100000. I. should be advanced and paid to the Scottish Army c. for Invading and Plundring the Kingdome and for running away from Hereford and Marston-Moore 26.

Carnarvon Towne and Castle surrendred to the Parliament 9. And still to continue their wonted practice of indeavouring to make His majesty odious to the People notwithstanding that His maj had fully freely declared to the Scottish Army upon his comming thither that his repaire to them was purposely to compose the differences betwixt him and his Subjects c. and to settle a firme Peace in these two Kingdomes the
in the ashes This was a happy day for the Excise men Diverse Butchers were apprehended about it and committed to Prison but we heard not of any further punishment 16. His Maj. was led Captive to Holmby 17. His Majesty sent a Message to both Houses wherein he desired to be attended by some of His Chaplaines not only for the exercise of his Conscience but also for the clearing of His judgement concerning the present differences in Religion and therein named 12. Reverend and Orthodox Divines viz. B. London B. Salisbury B. Peterborough D. Shelden Clerk of the Closet D. Marsh Deane of York D. Sanderson D. Baily D. Heywood D. Beale D. Fuller D. Hammond D.

The Apprentices of London Petition againe for Play daies c. 6. His majesty after 17. dayes Expectation of an Answer to His former message of the 17 of February renewed the same and sent it to the Houses at Westminster wherein amongst many other sweet and pious expressions He assured them that He could not as He ought take into consideration those Alterations in Religion which had and would be offered unto Him without such help as He desired because He could never judge rightly of or be altered in any thing of His opinion so long as any ordinary way of finding out the truth was denyed him but when this was granted him His Majesty promised them faithfully not to strive for victory in Argument but to seek and submit to truth according to that judgement which God had given Him c. 10. This day was set apart for a day of Humiliation for the growth of Heresies and Blasphemies c. One would have thought they had been grown to a sufficient number already The Humble-men were much afraid of being interrupted in their devotion by the Independents whom they account the prime Heretiques and therefore they set strong Guards both of Horse Foot throughout the City and Suburbs The same day the Catholique Irish had a generall Rendezvouz at Laughlin bridge not far from Dublin in Ireland 19. Sir John Clotworthy Sir William Waller and Major Saloway received Instructions to treat with Sir Thomas Fairfax about the 8000. Foot and 2000.
