I fear &s;uch motions (&s;o little a|dorning the Prote&s;tant profe&s;&s;ion) may occa&s;ion a farther alienation of mind, and diuorce of affections in her, from that Religion, which is the only thing wherein we dif|fer.</P>
<P>I am &s;orry my Relation to &s;o de&s;erving a Lady, &s;hould be any occa&s;ion of her danger, and affli|ction; who&s;e merits would have &s;erued her for a protection among the &s;alvage Indians; while their rudene&s;s and barbarity knows not &s;o perfectly to hate all ver|tues, as &s;ome mens &s;ubtilty doth; Among whom I yet think few are &s;o malitious as to hate her
<PB N="72" REF="42"> for her &s;elf. The fault is, <HI>That &s;he is my Wife.</HI></P>
<P>All ju&s;tice then as well as affe|ction commands me to &s;tudy her &s;ecurity, who is in danger only for my &s;ake; I am content to be to&s;|&s;ed, weather-beaten, and &s;hip|wrackt, &s;o &s;he may be &s;afe in Harbour.</P>

<P>I mu&s;t leave Her, and them, to the Love and Loyalty of my good Subjects; but common civility is in vain expected from them, that di&s;pute their Loyalty: Nor can it be &s;afe (for any Relation) to a King, to tarry among them who are &s;haking hands with their Alle|giance,

<P>Neither of us but can ea&s;ily for|give, &s;ince we do not much blame the unkindne&s;s of the Generality, and Vulgar; for we &s;ee God is plea&s;ed to try the patience of us both, by the mo&s;t &s;elf puni<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">hing &s;in, the ingratitude of tho&s;e, who have eaten of our bread, and be|ing enriched with our bounty, have &s;cornfully lifted up them|&s;elves again&s;t us; And tho&s;e of

<P>The le&s;s I may be ble&s;t with her company, the more I will re|tire to God, and my own heart, whence no malice can bani&s;h her. My enemies may envy me, but

<P>For it was her Maje&s;ties opi|nion and his, that the Parliament &s;hould not be exa&s;perated in any thing wherein they could not be
<PB N="98" REF="55"> over|come (it having been the impru|dence of late time, in great ma|nagers of Affairs, that the people were provoked, when they could not be &s;uppre&s;&s;ed) and that there &s;hould have been no attempt upon the five Members, where there was not evidence enough to con|vict them, and power enough to take them.</P>
<P>After the War began, both ad|vi&s;ed the adjourning of the Par|liament from <HI>London</HI> to &s;ome o|ther place, as <HI>Yorke</HI> or <HI>Oxford,</HI> e&s;pecially <HI>Yorke,</HI> where Sir <HI>Edward</HI> wi&s;hed the Parliament had been called at fir&s;t, by rea&s;on of the Loyalty of the Northern parts, and the ill affection and di&s;temper of the Southern, which time had re|duced to a temper; and di&s;tance had cooled to an accommodation. And in ca&s;e all did not come ac|cording to the Kings command to them, to wait upon him, yet if the greater Number did, and the re&s;t
<PB N="99" REF="55"> had continued in Arms again&s;t the King, that they at <HI>We&s;tmin&s;ter</HI> &s;hould be never owned by the King as a Parliament, and that the King &s;hould never hearken to an accommodation, but upon condi|tion, that this long Parliament was di&s;&s;olved.</P>
<P>And the Queen writes upon this point thus, I under&s;tand to day from <HI>London,</HI> that they will have no Ce&s;&s;ation, and that they treat at the beginning of the two fir&s;t Articles, which is of the Forts, Ships and Ammunition, and after|wards of the disbanding of the Army.
