The King of France HIS MESSAGE TO THE Queen of England: PRESENTED To Her majesty at the Hague in Holland by colonel Goring.  
SIr, I have received your Letter, with the news therein enclosed, for which remembrance of me I thank you, I cannot return you any from these parts, being quiet: I could wish England were as quiet, and in so good a posture of defence; but that cannot be, so long as the Queen is so great an enemy to it; for she says she will be revenged, and told M. Strickland the ambassador from the Parliament, that there should never be quietness in England so long as liberty of conscience was not given to the Catholics. Her Majesty is merry, and by no means would have the King yield to the Parliament upon any condition: she is making ready to come for England, and will bring with her great store of ammunition, money and soldiers. We conceive her majesty's departure will not be too much lamented for.  
Colonel Goring hath been lately at Paris with the King of France, he was accompanied by Monsieur Montgomery to his lodging, and after three days' respite he was sent for and accompanied with divers Lords and Gentlemen to the King's Court, and was bravely entertained, before whom his Majesty delivered a short speech, much to this effect.  Je à considere vostre. Message à le request de ma sore, vostre Roigne & Madam, à que par l'advice de mon Conseil, Je le vou prome autant come Je peu, en be tans excuse moy pour le presant. 
Two weeks after the colonel received his Message, with a Letter to the effect following.  
That his Majesty, the King of France, hath considered her royal intentions, and the troubles and vexations of the Catholics in England, for which in so just, so honourable, and so good a cause, I have by the advice of my Privy council given consent, that what forces may be conveniently spared out of Flanders, Artoys, Normandy and S. Malo, I have given consent that they shall be withdrawn from their garrisons, leaving but a sufficient number of soldiers therein, to that end the King hath sent Letters to the chief governors and Commanders to deliver up both Officers and soldiers that can be well spared. As for Ammunition, colonel Goring hath brought with him ten thousand men's arms, besides all sorts of ammunition, and furniture, with saddles for horse, besides 20. pieces of Ordnance: as for money, the King cannot supply her Majesty for the present, in regard of his vast expense which he hath been at, at the late siege at Arras; but nevertheless, as it is conceived, there shall be a collection throughout the whole kingdoms amongst the Catholics for their liberal contribution in this kind. The Prince of Orange hath gotten great strength at Breda in Brabant. The Prince of Conde at Durmount, who is thought to go for Ireland, and what more for this time, I cannot certify you for truth.  
Hague 29. Novemb. Stilo novo. Your obliged friend, Miles Burlacey.
