intervene We implyed that by this Arms were not suspended And since their own Votes of proceeding vigorously notwithstanding the Petition and their own actions in sending after their Messengers great store of forces with Ordnance so neer to Vs having before girt Vs in on all other parts and sent men and Ordnance to Kingstone after the safe conduct asked of Vs implied the same Being resolved upon these Reasons That this advancing was necessary and just We were not yet satisfied till We had endeavoured the same day though the interruptions of shooting stopt up the way till the next to satisfie Our Parliament and People of the same and that Peace was still Our desire We to that end directed a Message by John White Esquire which was so received that his danger of being put to death for bringing it and the imprisonment of him and the Trumpeter that went with him in the Gatehouse shewed that the very Law of Nations was by some no more considered then all other Laws had been before A Copy of which Message hereafter follows to shew how little temptation the matter of that gave them for such an usage His MAJESTIES Message of the 12. of NOVEMBER WHereas the last night being the eleventh of November after the departure of the Committee of both Our Houses with Our gracious Answer to their Petition We received certain Information having till then heard nothing of it either from the Houses Committee or otherwise That the Lord of Essex had drawn his Forces out of London towards Us which hath necessitated Our sudden Resolution to march with Our Forces to Brainford We have thought hereby fit to signifie to both Our Houses of Parliament That We are no lesse-desirous of the Peace of the Kingdom then We exprest in Our aforesaid Answer The Propositions for which We shall willingly receive where ever We are And desire if it may be to receive them at Brainford this night or early to morrow morning That all possible speed may be made in so good a work and all inconveniencies otherwise likely to intervene may be avoided ANd to justifie yet further that Our intention was no other then was here profest assoon as We were informed that the Earl of Essex his Forces were departed from Kingstone before any appearance or notice of further Forces from London Our end of not being inclosed being obtained We gave orders to quit Brainford and to march away and possesse that place We cannot but make one Argument more of the truth of Our Profession that this was all Our end and that We had not the least thought by so advancing to surprise and sack London which the malignant Party would infuse into that Our City And that is That probably God Almighty would not have given such a Blessing to Our journey as to have assisted Vs so both by Land and Water as with lesse then a third part of Our Foot and with the losse but of ten men to beat two of their best Regiments out of both Brainfords for all the great advantage of their works in them to kill him who commanded in chief and kill and drown many others To take five hundred Prisoners more Arms eleven Colours and good store of Ammunition fifteen pieces of Ordnance whereof We sunk most that We brought not away and then unfought with and unoffered at neerer then by Ordnance to march away notwithstanding the great disadvantage of Our Forces by the difficulties of the Passages if He who is the Searcher of all hearts and Truth it self had not known the truth of Our Professions and the innocencie of Our heart and how far We were from deserving those horrid Accusations of Falshood and Treachery cast so point blank upon Our own Person that it would amase any man to see them suffered to be printed in Our City of London if any thing of that kinde could be a wonder after so many of the same and how really they desire Accommodation who upon this have Voted they will have none These Our Reasons for this Action This Our satisfaction sent for it and this Blessing of Gods upon it will We doubt not cleer Vs to all indifferent persons both of the Iesuiticall Counsells and the personall Treachery to which some have presumed so impudently to impute it And God so blesse Our future Actions as We have delivered the truth of this The Answer of both HOUSES of PARLIAMENT To His MAjESTIES Message of the twelfth of November TO Your Majesties Message of the twelfth of this Moneth of November We the Lords and Commons in Parliament do make this humble Answer That this Message was not delivered to us till Monday the 14th We thought it a strange Introduction to Peace that Your Majesty should send Your Army to beat us out of our Quarters at Brainford and then appoint that place to receive our Propositions which yet it plainly appears Your Majestie intended not to receive till You had first tryed whether You could break thorow the Army raised for the defence of this Kingdome and Parliament and take the City being unprovided and secure in expectation of a fair Treaty made to secure the City If herein Your Majesty had prevailed after You had destroyed the Army and mastered the City it is easie to imagine what a miserable Peace we should have had and whether those courses be sutable to the expressions Your Majestie is pleased to make in Your Answer to our Petition of Your earnestnesse to avoid any further effusion of blood let God and the world judge As for our Proceedings they have in all things been answerable to our Professions we gave directions to the Earl of Essex to draw the Army under his Command out of the City and Suburbs before we sent any Message to Your Majesty So that part of it was inquartered at Brainford before the Committee returned with Your Answer And immediatly upon the receit thereof that very morning Order was taken that the Souldiers should exercise no act of hostility against any of Your Majesties people We sent a letter by Sir Peter Killigrew to know Your Majesties pleasure whether you intended the like forbearance of hostility But the fury of Your Souldiers thirsting after blood and spoil prevented the delivery of the letter For coming upon Saturday in his way towards Your Majestie as far as Brainford he found them in fight there and could passe no further God who sees our innocencie and that we have no aims but at his glory and the publike good will we hope free Your Majestie from those destructive Counsels who labour to maintain their own power by blood and rapine and blesse our endeavours who seek nothing but to procure and establish the Honour Peace and Safety of Your Majestie and Kingdoms upon the sure foundation of Religion and Justice To the Answer of both HOUSES of Parliament to His MAjESTIES Message of the twelfth of November His MAjESTIE makes this REPLY THat His Message of the twelfth though not
