<OPENER><SALUTE>Worthy Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>HAving received your la&s;t, dated <HI>June</HI> 19. I find an earne&s;t expre&s;&s;ion, wher|in you de&s;ire to be &s;atisfied in that great bu|&s;ine&s;&s;e now in di&s;penbe betwixt the King, Parliament, and Army; and indeed, it is a
<PB REF="3"> bu&s;ine&s;&s;e of high concernment, the eyes of the whole Kingdome being fixed upon this great Object.</P>
<P>But &s;ome rumour it abroad, that although we have his per&s;on, we cannot attaine his heart; for it is &s;aid, that his Maie&s;ty hath lately &s;ent a Me&s;&s;age (or Declaration) to the Militia and Citizens of <HI>London,</HI> declaring his re&s;olution and intention concerning the pre&s;ent de&s;ign of the Army; the heads wher|of, I &s;hall briefly communicate unto you, as followeth:</P>
<P N="1"><LABEL>The fir&s;t Propo&s;ition.</LABEL> 1. His Maje&s;ty doth propound, that He hath no de&s;ire to comply with the proceedings of the Ar|my &s;aying, that he admired at their actions, and wondred by what Authority they dur&s;t pre&s;ume to do that which they have already done.</P>
<P N="2">2. That He de&s;ired to re&s;ide no longer at New|market, for he found him&s;elf an ab&s;olute pri&s;o|ner, but with all willingne&s;&s;e, (according to the Votes of both Hou&s;es of Parliament) would take his Journey towards <HI>Richmond,</HI> that &s;o a firme Peace might &s;peedily be &s;etled within the King|dome of <HI>England</HI> and Dominion of <HI>Wales.</HI></P>
<P N="3"><PB REF="3"> 3. That his Maie&s;ty de&s;ires nothing more ear|ne&s;tly, then to joyn with his two Hou&s;es of Par|liament a&s;&s;embled at We&s;tmin&s;ter, that &s;o by the happy uniting of the Head and Body, there may be a &s;peedy compo&s;ure of all differences now a|ri&s;ing within this langui&s;hing Kingdome.</P>
<P N="4">4. That for His Maie&s;ties having any cor|re&s;pondencie with the pre&s;ent de&s;ignes or actions of the Armie, He doth declare to all his loving Subjects the contrary, prote&s;ting again&s;t all their proceedings, and that what&s;oever they heard to the contrary, de&s;ired them not to believe, no, though un|der his own hand, unle&s;&s;e they &s;pake with one who had it from his own mouth.</P>
<P>Thus have I given you the chiefe heads of his Maie&s;ties late Propo&s;itions to the Citi|zens of London for a &s;afe and well-groun|ded peace, I &s;hall now endeavour to &s;atisfie your expectation, concerning the late Pro|po&s;itions &s;ent from the Commi&s;&s;ioners at Newmarket, to his Excellency Sir <HI>Thomas Fairfax</HI> at St. <HI>Albanes,</HI> which followeth in the&s;e words:</P>
<P>1 According to the Votes of both Hou&s;es of Parliament, you are required to deliver the
<PB REF="4"> per&s;on of the King to &s;uch per&s;ons as both Hou&s;es &s;hall appoint, to be placed at Rich|mond, under &s;uch guards, and in &s;uch man|ner as they &s;hall think fit. And &s;econdly, that your Excellency would be plea&s;ed to &s;end a &s;peedy an&s;wer to the Votes of both Hou&s;es, concerning the removall of the per|&s;on of his Maie&s;ty from <HI>Newmarket</HI> to <HI>Rich|mond.</HI></P>
<P>After reading of the &s;aid Propo&s;itions, the Generall &s;ummoned divers Collonels, Lieutenant-Colonels, Majors, and Captains to his quarters, to debate and con&s;ult there|upon; but at the clo&s;e of this Letter, they had not concluded of any thing, divers que|ries being propounded which highly con|cerned the King: therefore, for further parti|culars, I refer you to the inclo&s;ed papers, and remaine</P>

<HEAD><HI>The Kings An&s;wer and Re&s;olution upon the de|livery of the Votes to his Maje&s;ty at New|market, being the &s;ub&s;tance of what was &s;ent by Sir</HI> Peter Killegrew <HI>to the Parliament.</HI></HEAD>
<P>THat his Maje&s;ty is content to remove to <HI>Richmond,</HI> it being nearer to His Parliament.</P>
<P>That to remove from <HI>Newmarket</HI> to <HI>Rich|mond,</HI> is agreeable to what him&s;elf hath al|wayes de&s;ired in his late me&s;&s;ages to the Hou&s;es.</P>
<P>That it being neerer to his Parliament, it is much more convenient for treating with the hou&s;es, and concurring in &s;uch acts as &s;hall be pa&s;&s;ed for the peace and &s;ecurity of the Kingdome,</P>
<P>That on Thur&s;day next his Maje&s;ty may go from <HI>Newmarket</HI> to <HI>Richmond,</HI> according to the Votes of both hou&s;es.</P>
<P>His Maje&s;ty de&s;ires that there may bee &s;uch a concurrence between his Maje&s;ty and the hou&s;es, and &s;o the Army al&s;o, as may conduce to a &s;afe and well grounded peace.</P>
<PB REF="5">
<P> <HI>Sir,</HI> We hear that the Generall hath gave his a&s;&s;ent (together with the Officers and Souldiers of the Army) that his Maje&s;ties Royall per&s;on &s;hall be conducted to <HI>Rich|mond,</HI> there to remain, with &s;uch a Guard, as &s;hall be thought meet by the Officers and Souldiers under command of his Excellency, to perform &s;o great a Charge committed to their tru&s;t, with faithfulne&s;&s;e and fidelity. Wee heare that his Maje&s;ty is upon his ad|vance from <HI>Newmarket</HI> towards <HI>Richmond,</HI> being conducted with two gallant Regi|ments of hor&s;e. The Army is much &s;atisfied with the la&s;t Moneths pay &s;ent down from the Parliament, it having &s;ilenced many, and given great &s;atisfaction to the re&s;t. By the next you &s;hall hear further, from</P>
