<OPENER><SALUTE>_RIght tru&s;ty and right well beloved Cou&s;in, we greet you well.</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>Under|&s;tanding with great contentment that the two Hou&s;es of Parliament have re&s;olved upon a Per&s;onall Treaty with His Maje&s;ty, (one of the particulars pre&s;&s;ed by us in our Declaration of the 29. of <HI>July</HI> la&s;t, as mo&s;t conducing to the &s;ettlement of a ble&s;&s;ed Peace) We have thought fit to ac|quaint you with our &s;en&s;e &amp; de&s;ires concerning the &s;ame, to the end that they may be communicated by you to the Hou&s;e of Peers from us. Fir&s;t, we propo&s;e, That the Treaty be appointed to be in &s;uch place, and in &s;uch manner, as may be&s;t con|&s;i&s;t with the Honour, Freedome, and Safety of His Maje&s;ty, whereby the agree|ment to be made, may not be blemi&s;hed with any face of re&s;traint. Secondly, That the Treaty may be betwixt His Maje&s;ty and His two Kingdoms of <HI>England</HI> and <HI>Scotland,</HI> &s;o as the matters in difference may equally fall under the con&s;ideration of all per&s;ons concerned therein. Thirdly, that during the &s;aid Treaty, there be a generall Ce&s;&s;ation of Armes, to the end that the affections of the people, though engaged in &s;everall parties, may thereby be prepared to meet in amity and bro|therly kindne&s;&s;e, and that no intervening accidents or &s;ucce&s;&s;es may di&s;turb the proceedings in this Treaty. La&s;tly, That an orderly moderate &s;ub&s;i&s;tence du|ring the Treaty may be agreed upon for all Armies and Forces now on foot, and particularly for the Scoti&s;h Army, in &s;uch manner as may be with the lea&s;t pre&s;|&s;ure on the Northerne Counties. And if the two Hou&s;es &s;hall think fit to con|&s;ent unto the effect of what we now propound, as proper to render this Treaty ef|fectuall, we &s;hall with great joy and alacrity interpo&s;e our mediation to the King our Father for the obtaining of all &s;uch Conce&s;sions and Acts of Grace, as by the ble&s;sing of God may mo&s;t conduce to a firm and la&s;ting Peace, and the happine&s;&s;e of His Maje&s;ty and all His People. We farther de&s;ire you to propound to the Hou&s;e of Peeres, That &s;ome equall cour&s;e may be &s;peedily &s;etled for the &s;upport of Us and the Navy with us, whereby we may be enabled to protect the Trade of the Kingdome, and may forthwith di&s;charge all Ships and Merchandizes now &s;taid by Vs.</P>
