nulling of all his Majesties Declarations against both Houses of Parliament or any other person that hath offended or seemed to offend the King as also a calling in and nulling of all such as the two Houses have set forth against the King or his Friends as shall be agreed on in the Treaty 35. That all things passed by the Seal made by the Parliament be set into a right order yet so as the Honor of the King Majesty be not touched upon to posterity This is a weighty matter and requires the gravest and wisest heads in the Kingdom to settle and yet it must of necessity be so in regard of after-questions I leave it to the Treaty 36. That during the Treaty which doubtless if the People come with equal hearts to Peace as the King doth upon these Resolutions his Majesty will take such order that none of his Party shal come within so many miles of the Court or who so doth shall be by his especial license and knowledg given to the Parliament and his Majesty to answer for them for the not disturbing the Peacè of the Treaty If your Majesty shall be pleased to add or diminish as you are free This is far from being by me intended other then to shew the heads of so many necessary things for the good of the People which I conceive your Majesty might confer upon your people according to Reason and Religion After these voluntary Offers of Your Majesty to Your People or what You shall please to add me seems it is very necessary for Your Majesty to make these Demands and what other You shall be pleased 1. TO be setled in all your Revenues 2. To be invested in all your Customs 3. The Tunnage and Poundage formerly given to your Ancestors and your self to be continued in liew whereof your Majesty wil maintain the narrow Seas from Pyrates as the Custome was 4.

That the Court of Wards be again setled and regulated if need be or if in the Treaty it be agreed otherwise then to give 150000l per annum in liew of it 6. The titles of Honor of what kind soever your Majesty hath conferred on any person since the beginning of this Parliament not to be disputed but held good for the Honor of your Majesty 7. The naming of all Officers of Ireland in the War for Ireland if it be a War to rest in your Majesty 8. That all your Majesties friends who have any way adhered to you in these Wars or otherwise to possess all their Estates and no man to lose any part of it though given away or disposed by Ordinance of Parliament 9. That the Officers of your Majesties Army and all the Souldiers Arrears be satisfied 10. That the Publick Faith be satisfied 11. That the disbursements for Ireland made by the City be satisfied to them 12. That if your Majesty find a way or means of your own not contrary to the Laws nor opposing the Subject whereby you can in 7 or 8 years redeem the Bishops Lands and pay the interest that the Lands be returned into Your Majesties hands having first satisfied the Debt and Interest payd for them 13. That for the Queens Majesty care be taken for the setling of her Rights and Joyntures and for the exercise of her Religion as it ought in Honor and Reason 14. That the Militia stand as it formerly did before the beginning of these troubles without disputing and if it be thought fit to strengthen it in the hands of the Sheriffs more for the Peoples safety then advantage of the King Peroratio SIR ALL the world now sees that you are the Center of Peace I therefore the most humble and most unworthy of all your Majesties Servants and Subiects having a long time from my very soul grieved the sad condition of your sacred Person your Royal Consort and most Princely and Numerous Issue the sad and languishing Estate of your Maiesties three Kingdoms the horrid and dayly bloodshed of your poor Subjects perpetrated by their own hands after some earnest prayers to Almighty God from whom alone cometh every good and perfect gift to enable me some way to express to your Majesty and the Kingdom something which might at least point out the way to a happy Peace and a perfect and right understanding between you and your People It hath pleased God of his infinite goodness and mercy after some months study to open unto me this door or entrance at least for your Maiesty if you are so pleased to pass through into the Temple of Peace which Temple is only in your Maiesties power to build and in the power of no mortal man besides your sacred Majesty must take the pains to lay the first and the last stone in this building your self must begin and perfect this great work It is you alone that have found the Art of Oblivion as well as you have the power to give an A●t of the highest Oblivion that was ever read of in the Annals of any Monarch whatsoever Your Majesties many Declarations to both Houses of Parliament and to your three Kingdoms have so deeply seized my soul with belief that I am confident your Maiesty will not refuse to do or ofter any thing to your People in your power that may conduce to a safe and well-grounded Peace so as that you are not in the least prejudiced in what you are so great a Master of Reason and so great a Servant to Religion and for this poor Talent which God hath vouchsafed me and which I here with my self most humbly prostrate at your Maiesties Feet I hope you will not find that in the least I have been so presumptuous or proved my self such a Traytor to your Reason or Religion as to have offered any violence in the least degree to either of them If your Maiesty in the perusal shall find it so I know as an Angel of God so is my Lord the King to discern good and bad Therefore Thy Lord Thy God shall be with thee and so shall he for ever pray who is Your Majesties Most humble and obedient Subject and Servant Richard Farrar THE KINGS COVENANT With His PEOPLE JC.

The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of water he turneth it whithersoever he pleaseth I a poor despicable man despicable because poor do presume out of my sincere loyal affection and duty to Your Majesty and my earnest desire for the re-uniting of You with Your Parliament and Subjects of this Kingdom to offer or rather to sacrifice my weak Conceptions to Your gracious Acceptance or Refusal Sir We are all in an Egyptian darkness be You but pleased to cause the Sun-shine of your Mercy and Goodness to break out upon Your poor Subjects of this Kingdom and there is great hope we may soon be delivered from this fearful Confusion whereinto we are faln For my own part I beleeve Your Majesties not being conscious of the misery Your poor Subjects are in in regard of the unkingly restraint You are for the present unhappily under is the cause You cannot be so zealous as otherwise you would to redress it and that your want of knowledg of the present conjuncture of Affairs is that which renders Your People so infinitely miserable that they are ready every minute to precipitate themselves into the Gulf of Despair It is said of Almighty God There is mercy with him that he may be feared and his mercy is over or above all his works And I beleeve without least flattery I speak it that there is abundance of Mercy and Bowels of Compassion with You towards Your poor Subjects that You may be both loved and feared and that Your Mercy will shower it self down to the amazement reproach of those that seem not to beleeve it Did I say Your Mercy yea and Your Justice also even against Your self in the voluntary clouding of Your own Princely Royalty and that Prince who shadows his own Glory meerly for the good of his Subjects is a rare Pattern And the first giver of so great an unexampled Example must needs render himself glorious to all Posterity Sir in the first place I presume with boldness enough I confess yet will I not flatter you so much as to say I beg Your Majesties pardon for it to remember you that Self-Denial is the only way to happiness Temporal here Eternal hereafter and had it been but a little practised on all hands by the three Estates of Parliament at the beginning or budding forth of these unhappy differences although Malice it self cannot but say that Your Majesty acted Your part and the very Lepers of Samaria shall one day rise up in Judgment against some and say that that was a day of good tydings and they ungratefully held their Peace In Your abolishing of Monopolies putting down the Star-Chamber disannulling the High Commission Court outing of Bishops from the House of Peers Regulating the Councel Table granting of Triennial Parliaments and continuing of This not to be dissolved without the consent of both Houses Your Majesty and Your People had not felt Gods heavy hand as You and They have done for these seven years past and yet do but for me to presume to tell Your Majesty what Self-Denial is were a most unpardonable offence And yet for Your Majesty to beleeve that this Peace-Offering which You sacrifice to the good and happiness of Your People in this sad condition Your Majesty is in and the most miserable one They are plunged into can be happily begun without Self-Denial on Your part first and then all the Peoples part also is so far as I can apprehend in Reason and Religion altogether unpossible and by the sequel of my discourse I doubt not but to make good the Truth of it at the Full Sir look into Your own heart and see whether informer times You were not more Your own or others who abused you then Your Subjects universally The word Proprium is of a neer relation and I doubt whether it sits not as close to the hearts of Kings as of Subjects which your Majesty well knows is not compatible with Self-Denial Sir You are a great Monarch true yet You are but a Steward nomine re a Steward of the great House of the Common-wealth and one day it shall be said to You as to the Steward in the Gospel Redde Rationem Give an Account of thy Stewardship And the Accounts of Kings are of a vast extent Sir You are a Sheepherd also a Sheepherd of a great Flock our Saviour calls himself a Sheepherd the great Sheepherd of Israel and he tells you a good Sheepherd will dye for his Sheep he did so And S. Paul Phil. 2. 5. speaking of our Saviour Christ and there deducing him from all eternity to time hath these words Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men And being found in fashion as a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the Cross Wherefore God highly exalted him c. And shal I doubt Your Majesty will imitate our blessed Saviour in all you can I doubt it not He prayed for his persecutors and taught us so to do He forgave his enemies that crucified him even upon the Cross Father forgive them they know not what they do nay he dyed for them who dyed saith the Apostle for the sins of the whole world You are not desired Sir to dye out of the world or to part with Your Soul by a Sequestration of it from your body for then we were miserable Let the greatest curse that ever fell on the head of any man fall on that head that hath but such a wish or thought in his heart All you have to do or suffer is but to part with a sillable or two from one single word a few letters cut off from that Monster as the People call it although there hath been held out to them for a long time a more Prodigious one
