HIS majesties farewel SPEECH unto the Lords Commissioners at Newport in the Isle of Wight.  
MY LORDS,  
You are come to take your leave of me, and I believe we shall scarce ever see each other again: but God's will be done, I thank God, I have made my peace with him, and shall without fear, undergo what he shall be pleased to suffer men to do unto me.  
My Lords, you cannot but know, that in my fall and ruin, you see your own, and that also near to you; I pray God send you better friends than I have found.  
I am fully informed of the whole carriage of the plot against me and mine; and nothing so much afflicts me, as the sense and feeling I have of the sufferings of my Subjects, and the miseries that hang over my three kingdoms, drawn upon them by those who (upon pretences of good) violently pursue their own interests and ends.  
These words His Majesty delivered with much alacrity, and cheerfulness, with a serene Countenance, and a carriage free from all disturbance.  
Thus parting with the Lords, leaving many tender Impressions, (if not in them) in the other hearers.
