<HEAD>THE DE<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">IREE OF THE <HI>Prince His Highne&s;se, to Sir</HI> John Ho|tham.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Worthy Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>WHen the Prince with his for|ces drew neer the Town of <HI><GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ull,</HI> He &s;ent forth a Herauld to Command the Gates to be opened, and to have the town &s;urrendred up; But He found the &s;ame Entertainment which his Maje&s;ty had formerly.</P>
<P>This An&s;wer being returned to His Highne&s;&s;e, you cannot conceive but at &s;o great a Repulle and denyall, he mu&s;t bee
<PB REF="3">very much moved. Wherupon immediat|ly a &s;econd Me&s;&s;enger was &s;ent to the town, at which Summons Sir <HI>John Ho|tham</HI> did pre&s;ently attend his Highne&s;&s;e from the Walls, to whom his Excellencie did deliver him&s;elf in this manner.</P>
<P>That it was &s;trange that he again&s;t his <HI>Oath of Allegeance,</HI> and muth contrary to the tru&s;t and confidence which his Maje|&s;ty had formerly repo&s;ed in him, &s;hould thus ob&s;tinately both again&s;t Equity and Ju&s;tice oppo&s;e his Maje&s;ty, and con&s;train him to u&s;e &s;uch violent means to obtain that, which he thought he might by His Power and Right Command.</P>
<P>And withall enformed him, that now it was no time for di&s;pute, but walled him to &s;urrender up the Town, which he &s;o long had detained from his Maje&s;ty, which if he would do, and &s;ubmit him&s;elf unto his Royall Clemency, happily His Maje|&s;ty, out of his tender Aflection which He alwayes bore to the informities of His Subjects, which he is &s;en&s;ible may be &s;om|times
<PB REF="3">mi&s;led, might indulge the&s;e his yet Contumelious Errours, and in hope of his future amendment forget, and forgive his former Errours, and re&s;tore him to all tho&s;e Liberties and Fortunes he formerly enjoyed.</P>
<P>After His Highne&s;&s;e had thus delivered him&s;elf, Sir <HI>John Hotham</HI> after &s;ome &s;mall pau&s;e, but &s;erious Con&s;ideration, in all humble manner thus expre&s;t him&s;elf un|to his Highne&s;&s;e.</P>
<P><HI>Let your Excellence be plea&s;ed to &s;end a patient Ear unto your mo&s;t faithgull &s;ervants defence, who&s;e Loyall intentions have alwayes beene, and ever &s;hall be mo&s;t zealous to &s;erve your mo&s;t Royall Father, and next ofter him your Excellence.</HI></P>
<P><HI>And I could wi&s;h both my Life and For|tunes certiople, that by the free Expen&s;e of them I might te&s;tifie the Gratitude and Ob|&s;ervance of Duty, which I owe unto your mo&s;t Royall Father, and my mo&s;t Gracious Sove|reign,</HI></P>
<P><PB REF="4">
You cannot taxe me of &s;uch fowle and hainous Crimes, as the <HI>Malignant Party</HI> do object again&s;t me, when you &s;hall rightly con&s;ider that all my endeavours have la|boured for the priviledge of the Subject, and the &s;ecurity of the Kingdom, no wais impugning the <HI>Prerogatives which belong to the Crown.</HI></P>
<P>And certain it is, that both your Roy|all Self, and al&s;o all the world may ju&s;tly condemn me of Infidelity, if I &s;hould tre|cherou&s;ly deceive that tru&s;t, which the Supream and Highe&s;t Court of this King|dom hath entru&s;ted me withall, and in the Breach wherof may in&s;ue the generall Ruine of this Nation.</P>
<P>A tru&s;t of &s;o great weight and high Con&s;equence cannot be deceived, but a heavie di&s;credit mu&s;t of nece&s;&s;ity brand him, who &s;hall give the occa&s;ion of that breach.</P>
<P>So far is from me the very thought of di&s;loyalty, that if it &s;hall plea&s;e that po|wer, who did fir&s;t commit that tru&s;t to me, to con&s;ent with my &s;elf, I &s;hall
<PB REF="4">all freedom of mind, and Loyalty of hart give up both the Town, and my &s;elf, and all that I may properly call mine unto his Maje&s;ty, and humbly pro&s;trate both them and my &s;elf at His Maje&s;ties feet, not doubting, but upon His ju&s;t and ma|ture con&s;ideration, he may not only for|give my Errours, if any in this ca&s;e have bin committed, but al&s;o command my fi|delity, and out of his clemency and good|ne&s;&s;e thinke mee fit to &s;erve His Maje|&s;ty.</P>
<P>Thus Sir <HI>John Hotham</HI> having delivered him&s;elf, but keeping the town, the Prince left him for the pre&s;ent, and we do expect that His Highne&s;&s;e &s;hould levie a Batte|ry again&s;t the town.</P>
<P>The <HI>Pal&s;grave</HI> is gone from <HI>York&s;hire,</HI> into <HI>Lanca&s;hire,</HI> to take up forces, and to repair to <HI>Hull</HI> with all &s;peed he can.</P>
<P>The King him&s;elf is gone from us, and with the next <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> night be at <HI>Newark</HI> upon <HI>Trent,</HI> and from thence he will goe to <HI>Liece&s;ter:</HI> Thus I re&s;t,</P>
