<HEAD>A LETTER
Sent from a Gentleman of Beverley, to one Mr. Holby Gent of London,
CONCERNING
The Entertainment of my Lord of Holland
By the King,
At His Maje&s;ties Court at Beverley,
<DATE>The Fifteenth day of this pre&s;ent July, 1642.</DATE></HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR;</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>_ALl the News I can write unto you at this time, is that of my Lord
of Holland coming to the Kings Court at Beverly, being a choi&s;e
Me&s;&s;enger from the Parliament to the King, my Lord deliver|ing
the Petition of Accommodation from the Hou&s;es, the King
did give him that Noble Entertainment, which was not a little
comfort unto my Lord, for His Maje&s;tie imbraced him in His arms, and bad
him welcome to His Court at Beverly, and drank to him; The King looking
upon the Petition, for his pre&s;ent &s;afeguard, committed him to the Protection
of two Harralds for &s;ome houres &s;pace: But the King promi&s;ed him An&s;wer
upon Sunday night la&s;t at &s;ix of the clock, being the Seventeenth day of this
pre&s;ent Month of July. His Maje&s;tie, upon peru&s;all of the Petition, was gra|ciou&s;ly
plea&s;ed to relea&s;e him, and take him to His own Protection, and pro|mi&s;ed
him an An&s;wer, at farthe&s;t, on Tue&s;day night. In the mean time, my
Lord of Holland de&s;ired of His Maje&s;tie &s;o much liberty, as to write &s;ome
Letters to his Friends; which the King granted, that he might write what he
thought fitting (the effect being An&s;wer of the Petition, as is &s;uppo&s;ed) for the
King gave gracious Acceptance, and told him what in Honour he could yield
unto; the Sequele being an Expectation of Peace, as you &s;hall further hear when
we have the next opportunity.</P>
