<OPENER><SALUTE>Honoured SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>ON Saturday la&s;t, the 22. of Jan. In&s;tant, the Engli&s;h Commi&s;&s;ioners, the Earle of <HI>Pembroke,</HI> the Earle of <HI>Denbigh,</HI> Lord <HI>Mountague,</HI> Sir <HI>John Holland,</HI> Sir <HI>Walter Earle,</HI> Sir <HI>Iames Harrington,</HI> Sir <HI>Iohn Cooke,</HI> Mr. <HI>Crew,</HI> and Major Generall <HI>Browne,</HI> came from <HI>Durham,</HI> hither to <HI>New|ca&s;tle,</HI> with the Gentlemen appointed to wayte upon the King, Collonel <HI>Thomas Herbert,</HI> Mr. <HI>Maxvill,</HI> Mr. <HI>Au&s;tley,</HI> Mr. <HI>Iames Harrington,</HI> Sir <HI>Fouke Grivel,</HI> Mr. <HI>Anthony Mild|may,</HI>
<PB N="2" REF="3">and Captaine <HI>Middleton,</HI> Doctor <HI>Wil&s;on</HI> the Phi&s;ition, al&s;o, and divers Gentlemen more accompanying of them.</P>
<P>Some of the <HI>Scots</HI> Commi&s;&s;ioners, with the Mayor, and the Governour, and other Gentlemen met them, His Excel|lency Generall <HI>Leven,</HI> was then with the King: His Maje&s;ty being then at <HI>Goffe,</HI> whither he never goes, nor any where el&s;e out of the Towne, but his Excellency waytes upon His Maje&s;ty, con&s;idering how &s;trict a charge is layd upon him, by both Kingdomes. There was a fayre hou&s;e in St. <HI>Johns</HI> parri&s;h provided in the Commi&s;&s;ioners quarters, where they are, a good di&s;tance from the Court, The Earle of <HI>Stamford,</HI> Mr. <HI>A&s;hur&s;t,</HI> &s;tay with Major Generall <HI>Skippon.</HI></P>
<P>After that His Maje&s;ty came from <HI>Goffe,</HI> and the Gene|rall had liberty, his Excellency (with the Lord <HI>Lowdoune,</HI> Lord <HI>Belcarris,</HI> Lord <HI>Lothirn,</HI> Lord <HI>Traquire,</HI> Lord <HI>Garthland,</HI> and others of the Commi&s;&s;ioners, and Mini&s;ters of <HI>Scotland,</HI> came that night to the Commi&s;&s;ioners quarters to give them a vi&s;it, Sir <HI>Arthur For&s;ter,</HI> Sir <HI>William Carr,</HI> Collonel <HI>Wel|den,</HI> Lieutenant Collonel <HI>Strangeny,</HI> Lieutenant Collonel <HI>Bal|bibueriwood,</HI> and Lieutenant Collonel <HI>Doglas,</HI> were then <HI>Ho&s;tages</HI> with Major Generall <HI>Skippon</HI> at <HI>Northallerton.</HI></P>
<P>The <HI>Scots</HI> Commi&s;&s;ioners being come to the <HI>Engli&s;h,</HI> there were very free and full expre&s;&s;ions of love and affection, each to other, Mr. <HI>Stephen Mar&s;hall,</HI> and Mr. <HI>Caroll,</HI> Mini&s;ters to the Engli&s;h Commi&s;&s;ioners did lovingly &s;alute each other, and after &s;ome di&s;cour&s;e, and many expre&s;&s;ions of amity, it being Saturday night, they parted, the Scots promi&s;ing to be with them againe on the Munday following; And I mu&s;t not for|get to tell you, that the Mayor, and the Inhabitants expre&s;&s;|ed as much affections to them as could be, and have been ex|ceeding ready and willing to accomodate them with any thing.</P>
<P>On the Lords day Jan. 34. Mr. <HI>Caryll,</HI> and Mr. <HI>Martiall</HI> preached before the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Commi&s;&s;ioners very zealou&s;ly, and divinely, Mr. <HI>Mar&s;halls</HI> text was <HI>Matthew</HI> 11. and the 12. ver&s;e, The words are thus. <HI>And from the dayes of Iohn the Bapti&s;t till now, the Kingdome of Heaven &s;uffereth violence, and the violent take it by force;</HI> out of which he made a very
<PB N="3" REF="3">&s;ea&s;onable Sermon, and Mr. <HI>Caryll</HI> was mo&s;t excellent.</P>
<P>The <HI>King</HI> al&s;o heard 2. Sermons that day, one, by one of the <HI>Scots</HI> Mini&s;ters, and the other by an <HI>Engli&s;hman,</HI> but His Maje&s;ty had as much di&s;like of the one, as approbation of the other; yet both of them were excellent preparatives again&s;t His Maje&s;ties receiving the Me&s;&s;age from the Engli&s;h Com|mi&s;&s;ioners.</P>
<P>Some of the Commi&s;&s;ioners of each Kingdome vi&s;ited each other that evening: but (in regard of the day) nothing was done in a publick way, &s;ave onely the workes of the day.</P>
<P>Ye&s;terday Jan. 25. The Commi&s;&s;ioners of both King|domes met, and had much debate, con&s;ulting of the great af|faires of the Kingdome, and particularly concerning the bu&s;i|ne&s;&s;e about which the Engli&s;h Commi&s;&s;ioners came, (viz.) to receive the King, and to bring His Maje&s;ty to <HI>Holmsby</HI> Hou&s;e, in <HI>Northampton&s;hire;</HI> as al&s;o declaring what In&s;tructi|ons they had received from the Parliament: &s;o farr as was needfull to declare to the <HI>Scots</HI> Commi&s;&s;ioners, and concer|ning them therein, and advi&s;ed with them in relation to the doing therein accordingly. Some part of their debates were a|bout tho&s;e appointed to go with the King to <HI>Holm&s;by</HI> Hou&s;e, and the Engli&s;h Commi&s;: acquainted the <HI>Scots</HI> who they were that the Hou&s;es had cho&s;en, and that they were then with them, onely Mr. <HI>Maul,</HI> was then in tho&s;e parts, (and as they had heard) with His Maj. already. And the Scots Commi&s;: ac|quainted them, that the Parliament of <HI>Scotland</HI> had cho&s;en the Lord <HI>Loudon,</HI> and the Lord <HI>Garthland</HI> to go with His Maj. as Commi&s;. from the Parliament of <HI>Scotland,</HI> to <HI>Holmsby.</HI> Some parts of which debates the Scots concurred immediately with the Engli&s;h, and &s;ome things were to be con&s;idered of; yet &s;o that there is not the lea&s;t ob&s;truction, or di&s;agreement in any thing between them. All things being carried on with a mu|tuall joynt advice, union, and affection; That day the King was acquainted from the Engli&s;h Commi&s;&s;ioners, that they were come, de&s;iring His Maj. Audience to what they had to declare to him from the Parliament; and His Maje&s;ty appoin|ted them to come on the morrow, and that they &s;hould have Audience, and the Commi&s;&s;ioners prepared all things in rea|dine&s;&s;e accordingly.</P>
<PB N="4" REF="4">
<P> This day the Commi&s;&s;ioners went to the King, and have deli|vered their Me&s;&s;age according to their In&s;tructions for receiving his Maj. and coming with him to <HI>Holdenby</HI> hou&s;e; as al&s;o con|cerning other things related, to what is contained in the &s;aid in|&s;tructions.</P>
<P>To morrow, or Thur&s;day next at the furthe&s;t (it is believed) his Maj. will giue his an&s;wer: In the mean time, the Commi&s;|&s;ioners of both Kingdoms meet dayly to carry on the Work u|nanimou&s;ly, and proceed in all things in love, and brotherly affe|ction.</P>
<P>It is conceived, that his Maj. will be delivered to the Engli&s;h Commi&s;&s;ioners on Thur&s;day, Fryday, or Satturday at furthe&s;t, The Scots Souldiery march forwards a pa&s;e, all the wayes are levelled for them to <HI>Barwicke.</HI> There are Guns which they call the <HI>Hammiltons,</HI> are &s;hipped, and much of their ammunition &amp; goods, wives, children, &amp;c. are gone. The &s;ouldiers pa&s;&s;e away dayly, they are all to march out on Saturday: mo&s;t of them goe very willingly; e&s;pecially tho&s;e who are con&s;iderable, though in|deed &s;ome of them are di&s;contented, Gen. <HI>Leven</HI> carryes him&s;elf mo&s;t excellently in the mannaging thereof.</P>
<P>The 100000. <ABBR>l.</ABBR> paid at <HI>Northallerton,</HI> is come &s;afe to the Scot|ti&s;h Army, though with a &s;mall Convoy part of the way, yet afterwards there was &s;trength &s;ufficient: you would not thinke how the bonny Scots laugh &amp; fling up their caps, at the &s;ight of the monies; to receive which, they haue each of them a &s;ingular good will.</P>
<P>The Country (indeed) is deeply taxed by &s;ome, &amp; very great Se&s;ments are laid (which is no more then was expected.) But Gen. <HI>Leven</HI> hath publi&s;hed a Proclamation, upon the Commi&s;|&s;ioners complaint thereof, upon the receipt of &s;ome Papers from the Gentlemen of the Country, to command, that no advance-monies be taken, and hath written to our Commi&s;&s;ioners (there at <HI>Newcastle</HI>) to a&s;&s;ure them, that if any Officers or Souldiers of|fend them, that they &s;hal be puni&s;hed, the grievances redre&s;&s;ed, &amp; the Country haue &s;atisfaction. And moreover, that none &s;hall take any Cattell, or any thing from the Inhabitants, &s;ave what they pay for. Concerning which, his Excellency is mo&s;t full in his Proclamation, and promi&s;e to the Commi&s;&s;ioners, profe&s;&s;ing
<PB N="5" REF="4">by all meanes to u&s;e all po&s;&s;ible care for a faire &amp; friendly part|ing; concerning which, the Commi&s;&s;ioners have received great &s;atisfaction.</P>
<P>The Scots Commi&s;&s;ioners writ to the Parliament of <HI>Scotland</HI> at <HI>Edenburg,</HI> about the di&s;pute they had with the King, concer|ning two Quaeres; concerning his Maj. freedome, and going into <HI>Scotland</HI> in &s;afety, with their An&s;wer. In con&s;ideration whereof, that Parl. have &s;ent a <HI>Declaration,</HI> and &s;ome de&s;ires to the Parl. of <HI>England,</HI> which you haue fuller knowledge of at <HI>London,</HI> then we here. And in an&s;wer thereto, the Parl. of <HI>Scot|land</HI> have al&s;o &s;ent a me&s;&s;age to <HI>Newca&s;tle;</HI> to let his Maj. know that he cannot go to <HI>Scotland,</HI> and that they haue conde&s;cended to the Votes of the Parl of <HI>England,</HI> for his Maj. going to <HI>Holm|by</HI> hou&s;e, and therefore haue appointed the E. of <HI>Lowdon,</HI> &amp; the L. <HI>Garthland</HI> to go with his Maj. as Commi&s;&s;ioners from them, And for his Maj. freedome, that it is not &s;o to be re&s;trained by his Maje&s;ties going thither (though with a guard for the pre|&s;ent) as that it &s;hall be any diminution to his Maj. in his Kingly Government, if he will take the Covenant, and pa&s;&s;e the Pro|po&s;itions of both Kingdoms for Peace, nor any prejudice to his Po&s;terity.</P>
<P>Major Generall <HI>Skippons</HI> Head-quarters is at <HI>Northallerton,</HI> expecting the Scots &s;urrendring of their Garri&s;ons; with him are the Commi&s;&s;ioners of the Army, the Trea&s;urers, Tellers, Ho&s;tages, &amp;c.</P>
<P>The Engli&s;h Hor&s;e &amp; Foot are all quartered from thence, a|bout tho&s;e parts, all on the South &s;ide of Tees, who carry them|&s;elves &s;o fair y towards the Country, that the Inhabitants doe highly applaud them.</P>
<P>And for the Scots, they make no great &s;top in their prepara|tions to be gone, &amp; give very good &s;atisfaction in all things, &s;o far as yet we haue had to do with them. And it is the opinion both of the Commi&s;&s;ioners of the Trea&s;urers, &amp; of the Army, that all things will be faire to the la&s;t; and that it will be as hone&s;t a parting now, as it was the la&s;t time they came into <HI>England.</HI></P>
