Prince rupert's Resolution to be gone to his Mother, who hath sent for him.  
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 Rupert 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 any brother Prince Rupert, and it grieves us at our very Souls for his unhuman cruelties we hear he commit, whose passion we cannot confine, and whose 〈◊〉 spirit we cannot calm nor does … him from acting, by 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 paydus, 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 savour from this Kingdom of England, for their real loves in our distress, that we are bound to assist you and your Nation both with our praser & thanks which is only acceptable and best ●l●●sing to God and to all righteous men 〈…〉 And for my particular, I take God to witness, so long as I was ●n 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 over borne by a strong faction who had his Majesty's care, I took my leave, and went for Holland, obeying and harkening unto my mother's counsel whom I shall willingly obey and abide with.  
Prince Rupert began to declare his resolution to the Kings most Excellent Majesty, and the rest of the Nobles, attending upon his Royal person, which was to this effect.  
That he had in or mation by letters from Holland that his Royal mother was much discontented and troubled in mind for his residence here in England, and way very desirous that be should take leave of his Royal. Oakle the King of England, and to go to Hosland to her, whereby she might impart her mind unto him, be bring willing to fulfil his mother, desires, and sorry for his first comening over, declared his resolution to his Majesly that he was now resolved to leave England, desering his Majesty not to be displeased thereat; and that according to the utmost of his power, he would endeavour to send over such able Commanders, as should finish what be had begun.   

His Majesty's Royal intentions declared to joynewith his Parliament in a treaty of Peace.  
WE will not repeat what means we have used to prevent the dangerous, and distracted estate of the Kingdom, nor how those means have been interpreted, because being desirous to avoid effusion of blood, we are willing to decline all memory of former bitterness that might make our offer of a treaty less readily accepted.  
We never did declare, nor ever intended to declare both Our houses of Parliament traitors, or set up our Standard against them, We utterly profess against it before God and the world, and further to remove all possible scruples which may hinder the treaty so much desired by us: we hereby promise, so that a day be appointed by you, for the revoking of your Declarations against all persons as traitors, or otherwise for assisting of us. We shall with all cheerfulness upon the same day recall our Proclamations, and Declarations, and take down our Standard. In which treaty, we shall be ready to grant any thing, that shall be really for the good of Our Subjects, conjuring you to consider the bleeding condition of Ireland, and the dangerous condition of England, in as high a degree, as by these Our offer. We have declared Ourselves to do: And assuring you that Our chief desire in this world, is to beget a good understanding, and mutual confidence betwixt Us, and Our two Houses of Parliament.   

The particulars of the high Court of Parliament drawn up to be sent to his Majesty for peace.  
THe House of Commons spent much time in debating upon His Majesty's Propositions lately sent to the House concerning an Accommodation, there being usually in the House at this debate at least two hundred of the Members, besides many there be which are employed upon special service of the Kingdom in several Countries, by which it appears that the Parliament are not so few in number as some disaffected persons do report they are; and at last it was voted to this effect, viz. 

1. That there should be a speedy disbanding of both Armies.  
2. That the Armies in the Northern and Western Counties and other remote part, shall be disbanded by the first of March.  
3. That the Armies at Oxford, Redding, Windsor, and the parts adjacent, be disbanded by the tenth of March.  
4. That Messengers be sent to the King, to treat of the true and manner of disbanding, and that a cessation of arms shall be assented unto, in reference in the dishanding.  
5. That presently after the disbanding of both Armies, a committee shall be sent to attend His Majesty by an humble Treaty to give him satisfaction concerning the propositions sent to them from the King and likewise those Propositions wh●●● were presentied from the Parliament to His Majesty.     

An order by the Lords and Commons for direction in the Army.  
Whereas there have been divers complaints made unto us of many disorders, committed by the soldiers; in their marching, and in such places wherein they have been quairered and billered, which disorders (as is informed) have been partly occasioned by the neglect of their Officers to go along with them: It is therefore ordered by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, that the Lord General be desired to give command to all the officers, that they take care to attend, according to the duty of their several pl●●●s, that the soldiers thereby may be hereafter kept from straggling up and down the Countries. And to that end to lay his command upon the Officers of each Company, both in the marching, quartering, and billeting, to be in person amongst the soldiers, to prevent any disorders whatsoever, and punish such as shall offend.   
FINIS.
