SIR, The King Commandeth Us to acquaint You, That he observeth all the Differences and Causes of Complaint, alleged by Your Highness, seem to be Referred to a Free Parliament.  
His Majesty, as he hath already Declared, was Resolved before this to call one, but thought, that in the present State of Affairs, it was adviseable to defer it till things were more Composed.

And to prevent any Cause of Interruption in it, He will Consent to every Thing that can be reasonably required for the Security of all those that shall come to it.  
His Majesty hath therefore sent Us to attend Your Highness for the adjusting all Matters that shall be agreed to be necessary to the Freedom of Elections, and the Security of Sitting, and is ready immediately to enter into a Treaty in Order to it.  
His Majesty Proposeth, That in the mean time the respective Armies may be Restrained within such Limits, and at such a Distance from London, as may prevent the Apprehensions that the Parliament may in any kind be Disturbed, being desirous that the Meeting of it may be no longer delayed than it must be by the Usual and Necessary Forms.
