A LETTER Sent by Mr. Henry Iarmin Now resident in PARIS TO Mr. VVilliam Murrey OF His Majesties Bed-Chamber As it was intercepted at Sea by Captaine JAMES MORGAN Captaine of the good Ship called the Mary-Rose of Bristoll Wherein is expressed the full and reall intentions of the said Mr. Iarmin and the other English Fugitives in France against the proceedings of the Honourable the high Court of Parliament here in ENGLAND London printed for James Jobson Ian. 26. 1643. A Letter sent by Mr. Henry Iarmin to Mr. William Murrey of his Majesties Bed-Chamber Honest Will IT will seeme strange to thee to receive any tydings of me from France as it did appeare miraculous to mee to heare the state of all affaires in England from thee by the last Post that intelligence I hope will hope if you care to direct and manage it so that it may meet no interception I would not write back to you by the said messenger lest my letters might have arrived sooner at London to the Parliament than to thee at Oxford and so fortunately encountring a man of Sir Ralph Hoptons at Paris where I am now who brought me some Expresses from his Master out of the West of England I thought best by him both for the securitie and suddennesse of the conveyance to send back by him an answer of thy former letter and my true respects to thee my deare Will whom since my departure I have still worne about my heart I am exceeding glad that his Sacred Majestie is so well and strongly seated as I am enformed he is at Oxford and hope his Councell will advise him there to continue till all the turbulent businesse of the times be reduced to an happy period I hope and so does all the rest of his servants here who suffer in his Majesties cause that Hee will not want strengths at home to settle Him in his wonted Royaltie at White-Hall where wee had all rather be attending his Sacred Person in our former garb and greatnesse than live here like Honourable Exiles at Paris for that is trust mee the best account the French men make of us Concerning the managing your domestick affaires and the prosecution of the present war in England it were a needlesse presumption for me to ●dventure on advising you I know his Majestie hath so many able head-pieces about Him that were I there present I should blame my modesty should I intrude mee on any counsell in the directing those affaires which certainly had my successe answered my intentions or my power my will had by the course I shaped been at far more setled rate than now they are His Majestie had never been driven to these straights nor the Parliaments endevours succeeded so prosperously But they were blasted in the bud of their expectation and progresse and so no more can be said of them but that were like too early fruit easily shaken downe to earth and there betrayed to rottennesse For the services which my selfe and others of his faithfull ministers here in France under the umbrage of banishment have endevoured in the advancement of His Majesties present wars I shall give thee a short and reall account such as may befit the integritie of my heart to the King and my affection to thee my friend I have for mine owne part having by reason of the Queens commends and the interest of my former acquaintances best credit in this Court employed my whole studies to ingage the King of France to the succours of the King our Master as I have by former letters advised thee But during the life of the Cardinall Richelieu who for what cause I know not was still adverse to my proceedings my suits and endevours were cast against the wind and so vanished Since his decease I have found my addresses in that businesse and easilier entertained both by his Majesty of France and his Councell who notwithstanding by a politike pretension of conserving the league inviolable between the Kingdomes of England and France have waved my desires so that have not suted to so full an effect as I aimed them I find this Nation flexible enough I meane the great ones of it to give eare attentively to the King our Masters wants and sufferings but when I urge them home for a supplement to those wants with a complementall courtesie they answer They could heartily wish the differences between his Majesty and Parliament were fairly composed and that to work that composition they would willingly engage their King to employ his utmost powers but still with that clause Saving the amitie between our Kingdome and the Kingdome of England so that verbally I may define ready to serve the King but cordially the Parliament which hath so much afflicted me and discomposed my little patience that I have often in plaine termes intimated to them the great disparagement it would cast upon the dignitie of Kings in generall to bee forced to stand to the arbitrements of their subjects they have answered me flatly they understood not how matters went between the King of England and his Parliament whom they believed to be far better instructed in the lawes of the Kingdome and the prerogative of our Kings against which it was not likely they would attempt any thing then they which were strangers And-when I requested there might be some ayds of men and ammunition sent over by the King of France as testimonies of his love to his Majestie of England they have replyed that with all their hearts they would be yeelding to the transferring any such succours but that they did believe their King could not in his wisdome considering his pregnant necessities being ingaged in severall parts of his Dominions against the powerfull forces of the Spanyard transmit any of his soldiers as auxiliaries hither since he was scarce furnished with men enow to keep the field and maintaine his frontier garrisons against his adversarie that so many ways infested every part of the Realm of France wearyed disheartned with these circumstantiall delayes which were indeed flat denyalls I was resolved to cease any further prosecution of that businesse determining with my selfe to rest my selfe here in a quiet banishment and since I could no other way advantage his Majesties affaires as much as I would by my prayers till now within these late dayes the French and Spanyard both tyred with the tedious expences of their precedent wars began to effect some treaty and overture of peace which if it be once as I hope it will be ratified between them I shall not doubt to procure his Majesty very considerable ayds out of these parts To facilitate the effecting of which I have spared no paines no diligence nor omitted any cost which was within my abilities to the favorites and Minions of the Court of France to endeare their Master to the King our Masters assistance I have remonstrated to them the many indignities which have been offered to his Majestie his royall Consort their Kings sister
