GReat are the Distractions of England, and many are the Miseries which are like to ensue and befall this kingdom; unless a sudden Alteration of Unity and Peace be knitted betwixt the Head and the Body, for want of which, this kingdom is like to suffer, and will be become a scorn to foreign Nations. The King's Majesty hath declared, that unless the Parliament will give him Justice against Sir John Hotham, and divers others which have not obeyed His special Command, He will lose His own, Life in Defence thereof. O what a sad and lamentable Ditty is this to sound in the Ears of the poor subject, That His Majesty is intended and fully Resolved to take arms against His Parliament, whose vigilancy and care hath always been very great, both for the defence and safeguard of His majesty's royal person, and the Peace and Liberty of the poor Subject, not having the least thought of taking His majesty's Honour and Dignity from him, but to establish and enact it far greater than any of his predecessors ever had. But his Majesty being incensed against them by the evil counsel which are now lurking about his Royal Court, hath set down his full Resolution and intention to set up his Standard near N●w castle, vowing to have Justice against those which did oppose His Sacred Majesty, keeping him forth by violence from entering into his own town, which His Majesty took to be a great Affront against His royal Person, and a great Disgrace throughout the World to His royal progeny. Wherefore he having set down his Resolution against the said Parties, that Justice shall immediately proceed against them, which if it be denved, His Majesty hath vowed He will take them by force, or else lose his own life therein, being resolved to adventure His royal Person in such an Honourable Enterprise. Moreover, His Majesty sent about 1000 men into Newcastle, the information and Report whereof were related to the High Court of Parliament, it is thought that His Majesty is Resolved to set up His Standard there, if any such occasion be. nevertheless, his Majesty doth Declare, that if the Parliament will revoke their former Orders concerning all levys, and the disposing of the Militia, and give His Majesty justice against those that detain his town and Fort from him, he is content to lay down his arms. It hath been a long while reported, that the Danes hath been divers times coming to Assist His Majesty, yet it hath proved false and contrary; But now it proves too true. For it is credibly reported, that the King of Denmark having received intelligence from His majesty's Court at York, the Differences betwixt His Majesty and the Parliament, and that the King were Resolved by force of Arms to take Justice against Sir John Hotham, and the rest of those which would not obey His special Command, the King of Denmark taking it into consideration, making His counsel acquainted with it, thinking that it would be an ingrateful part of Him not to assist His Majesty with what Forces he could conveniently raise, he referred it to His Counsel, and after some Debate, they concluded that there should be a fleet forthwith Rigged and prepared to be sent with all speed towards the Coast of England, but to what end is not yet known. The which tidings upon the 1. of July were brought to the Honourable Court of Parliament, where it was reported and read in the Audience of both Houses, informing that there was a great Fleet of Ships which lay at Dunkirk ready prepared to lance forth with Men and Ammunition, and all other things belonging to war, which are intended to come for England, and that the Lord Digbie. M. Piercy. Secretary Windebanke, and others that are Delinquents are coming with them, but what their Designs are is not yet known, God grant that they may all turn for the best. The Copy of a Letter which was read in the Dutch Church on Sunday last, being the 3. of July, 1642. ON Sunday last, being the 3. of July, there was a Letter read in the Dutch Church, which came from the States in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that the Queen had provided divers ships for to transport her Majesty and the rest of her Followers to York, they being all in readiness, tarrying only for wind; all which were unknown to the States: but they hearing of it, sent immediately a Commission & Command for the stopping of her Journey, Declaring, that if Her Majesty would be pleased to be transported towards London, they would to the utmost of their power aid and assist her, but for her journey towards York they would not give their Consents. It is ordered, that the Lord Strange be required to deliver that part of the Magazine of the County of Lancaster into the hands of the Deputy Lieutenonts. Ordered that this be printed and published.
