The Queen's Message and Letter sent to the Kings Most Excellent majesty, from the Hague, the eight of October.  
MOst royal and Illustrious Monarch of great Britain, my great, my good and worthy Liege, the most regal object of my loving heart, best affections and utmost endeavours; Be pleased to let this paper in all humility salute your Princely hands, and to give your Princely cogitations some account of my endeavours, (as I am bound in duty, and as I am your Spouse and loyal wife) for your Majesty in my absence, my love having now no other ways left of expectation, but by being Your humble and faithful Agent in accommodating and promoting your high affairs, wherein if my words, the pledges, and earnest solicitors for the improvement of Your present Fame and glory, may carry in them any strength of persuasion, I would earnestly incite your Princely thoughts to a remembrance of your majesty's Resolution to carry forward your designs until they grow to a famous maturity and ripeness: maintain and continue your cause and complexion in the hardy prosecution of your affairs without any mitigation, unless an honourable satisfaction may make you disbandon and raise your former Intentions: Now you have a large field given you, wherein the illustrious virtues inherent in your royal Person may be actually expressed, and give the whole Christian world which are now spectators, and the eye of all Christendom upon your Person, a clear approbation and testimony that Your Majesty merits that noble attribute annexed to your royal Title, defender of the Faith: for by such like actions as these, Princes live when they have paid their debt to Nature, and will be their own monument which shall be everlasting, and more durable than that of Marble. Be therefore constant in your Princely resolutions, full of your own Cause and your Majesty shall never want external accommodations and foreign compliances, which by my earnest endeavours and solicitations have of late been somewhat advanced, having obtained a list from our Brother the Prince of Orange, from whence as the special merit did distinguish them in worth, I have selected out of that number some choice, well experienced and serviceable soldiers, such as shall be forward with courageous affections to maintain Your Princely affairs, and to amplify your renown and glory in the engagement of present actions: and out of these deserving men, I have sent fifty stout Commanders, who will be always be ready to do your majesty service in your Army, and that I might further supply and serve your present occasions, I have caused 400. barrels of powder, and 10. pieces of ordnance; to be conveyed to your Majesty, besides good store of all other ammunition, necessary upon all warlike occasions. The compliance of our noble Brother the Prince of Orange is so settled in a firm complexition, sympathising, and affectionately agreeing with the present condition of affairs, that he hath by many demonstrations given testimony thereof, and by raising divers sums of money for my use, hath endeavoured the inclination of his particular affections, amongst other accommodations lest your majesty should be any ways necessitated, I am to certify your Majesty, that the jewels of your Crown are for present receipts engaged to some certain Jews of Amsterdam. Moreover I am to give your highness' cause to esteem the cheerful undertakings and forward alacrity of our Brother the Prince of Orange, who will with all careful vigilancy be ready to take all opportunities for your majesty's advantage, and will with clear intentions wherein you may repose trust, be ready to express himself in all Christian Offices: My acknowledgement of Prince Robert's valiant courage and love expressed in personal actions, & those adhering to your majesty, being arrived to my knowledge by a letter lately sent to Mr. Jermin, must needs deserve my approbation and highest commendation, since his worth and noble actions are of such transcendent expression of Princely merit. Amongst the other endeavours of my affectionate desires, the States have been earnestly solicited for their aid and assistance, which as yet cannot be induced upon them to grant, nor can I by any persuasion obtain the effect of my urgent motion, though I hope my Letters sent unto my Brother the French King, shall infuse a royal flame into his breast, and make him through accompable fullness of your highness' Cause, give such aid unto your Majesty, as may express him royal in his thoughts, and tender of his regal relation unto your highness; but if my Letter should be so unhappy as not fully to inflame and instigate his mind to awake his power in Your aid and defence, I cannot nor will not see your actions brought on with so much expectation any way disanimated, but since the Ages hopes must be the production and business of Your weighty affairs, my personal solicitation shall at my going into France induce and incline my most Christian brother to appear in promoting and assisting your majesty's cause and actions, which are so full of honourable Justice: though absent till we be resident in your Princely heart, and believe my affections and endeavours are ever ready to serve your Majesty.  
Sir, I am and always shall be your most dutiful wife and liege woman. HENRETTA, MARIA,   

The Declaration and Petition of the Prince Palsgrave of the Rhyne, and the Queen his Mother, disclaiming and discountenancing Prince Robert in all his uncivil actions which he useth in this kingdom, desiring both houses of Parliament not to stop their annual pensions due to them for his cause which they cannot help.  
Their Protestation and Declaration, &c.  
WE do in the presence of Almighty God, and to all the whole World, and in the sight of all good men, in no manner approve, allow, give consent, or any way countenance the unjust and unruly actions of my Son Prince Robert now in England; and so do I the same with the Queen my dear mother, by the same vow disrelish and hate all those outrages and cruelties of my brother Prince Robert, and it grieves us at our very souls for his unhnmane cruelties we hear he commits, whose passion we cannot confine, and whose hot spirit we cannot calm nor dissuade him from acting, by all the lawful means which we have used, as by Letters, Messages, and intimate friends.  
And our petition and desire is to the honourable houses of Parliament, that our annual pensions may be duly paid us, which is our chiefest livelihood under God, and that we may not suffer and languish for his sake, whose actions and behaviour we cannot help. Hoping that both Houses of Parliament will speedily consider of our petition which we have sent unto them, having continually found that favour from this kingdom of England, for their real loves in our distress, that we are bound to assist you & your Nation both with our prayers and thanks, which is only acceptable and best pleafing unto God, and to all righteous men.  
And for my particular, I take God to witness, so long as I was in England with his Majesty, I laboured for peace, and a Reconciliation betwixt his Majesty and his Parliament, but finding that I could not prevail, but I was overborn by a strong faction who had his majesty's care, I took my leave, and went from Holland, obeying and harkening unto my dear mother's counsel, whom I shall willingly obey and abide with.  
From the Hague 5. Octob. 1642.
