Certain uncertain Proposals from Freeborn Subjects of England, to his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax; as they were presented, Aug. 9 1647. at Croyden in Surrey.  
WE earnestly desire the Kings most Excellent Majesty may immediately be brought to London with honour, there at pleasure to reside with safety and freedom according to promise, and our just expectation.  
WE likewise desire, that a firm and lasting Peace may be speedily settled in this Kingdom, which cannot be if the King be spoiled of his indisputable Rights, and not restored to his wished greatness.  
We desire that such members of Par. as have vented any speeches seditious & Treasonous, may besuspended from sitting, in the House & tried according to the known Laws of the Kingdom; For we have no cause to believe the subject shall be Righted in their freedom, if there be not high regards had to the King's Person and Honour.  
'tis for the Honour of our Nation, to bear our King high; To make him glorious, is to render him formidable to other Princes. 'tis much for the honour of Sir Thomas Fairfax, in whose power it is alone to raise him to such splendour and height, that his clouded and discountenanced Subjects receiving a gracious influence from the sprightly beams of his Sacred Majesty; may be revived and cherished; And we acknowledge Sir Thomas Fairfax as the beginner, so the perfecter and finisher of our Peace and Happiness.   

These are our Desires, our Fears follow.  
WE justly fear, that while his Excellency contended to bring his Majesty to London, whether the Parliament and City would or no; and they Declaring and Voting him to come, whether his Excellency would or no: The King in the Agreement will be left unconsidered, and we forfeit our hopes and Expectation.  
We likewise fear, (as we have too sad occasion) that a new war will be settled in stead of an old Peace; And our lost dispirited Island embark in a second adventure on a Sea of Blood, till we suffer shipwreck and utter Ruin.  
We sadly fear the bad design of these that so boldly assume to themselves  
We sadly fear the bad Design of these that so boldly assume to themselves a liberty to traduce his Sacred Majesty, and the worse Effects it may take on some desperate villains, while such remain unpunished, unquestioned.  
We fear the danger the delay may bring, that a Peace so coldly followed, may give advantage to a diligent and overactive party to imbroil in a second more fierce and terrible war.  
We fear the worst, that our Peace is not nigh, that we are not rightly qualified to entertain her, nor yet brought low enough to receive so high a blessing.  
We fear, that if the King be not settled so well as the Kingdom, there is no good intention to either.  
We fear God, we Honour and Obey the King.   

Certain Hopes to sustain Comfort, and confirm a timorous and fearful mind.  
WE Hope the worst is past.  
We hope Sir Thomas Fairfax will according to his promise bring the King to London with Honour, safety, and Freedom; we hope to see it suddenly, without which we can hope for no good.  
We hope it is not the intent of this al-conquering Army, to diminish, much less to extinguish the Glorious Lamp of Majesty, being so well assured, if the King burn dim, his People will go out like the snuff of a candle: If Majesty be defaced in the Royal stamp, his Subjects will not pass for currant Coin.  
We hope to see the King in his full Greatness and Splendot, and that his Excellency will add to his Glory, not Subtract, nor clip the wings of Majesty.  
We hope his Excellency will make good all his promises in his Declaration and much more: We hope to see it performed speedily without delay; And were it not for these hopes, our hearts would break.   

Certain Pertinent and Necessary Queries.  
Q. Whether the Freeborn People of England will ever tolerate any Toleration of Covernment in this kind: Or they will not be impatient of any thought to destroy Monarchy, whose yoke is easy, and burden light?  
Q. Whether Monarchy can be destroyed in the Person of the King; Whose numerous issue gives Assurance we cannot be happy in any other Government?  
Q. Whether the whole world would not rise to revenge any violence done to his Majesty's Sacred Person, as hath been often threatened? And whether every good subject hating the impious thoughts of so horrid an Act, ought not to endeavour the bringing of such to Condign punishment?  
Q. Whether it be not the best way to settle the Kingdom in a firm Peace, first to seat and establish the King in his Royal Throne? without which our preposterous Peace cannot be lasting.  
Q. Whether the People's Peace and Happiness depends not altogether on the safety and Honour of the King?  
Q. Whether there be not a necessity of his Majesty's speedy coming to London? And whether there can be any composure of the present distraction, and satisfaction to the People without this?
