CHARLES REX, RIght trusty and well-beloved councillor, we greet you well,  
and have thought good hereby to certify that we did the third of January last, deliver to Our attorney certain Articles of Accusation engrossed in paper, a copy whereof we have sent here enclosed, and did then command him in Our Name, to acquaint Our House of peers, that divers great & Treasonable designs and practices against us and the State had come to Our knowledge; for which we commanded him, in Our Name, to accuse the six persons in the said paper mentioned of High Treason, and other high misdemeanours by delivering the paper to Our said House, and to desire to have it read, and further to desire in Our name, that a Select Committee of Lords, might be appointed to take the examinations of such witnesses as we would produce, and as formerly had been done in cases of like Nature, according to the justice of the house, & the committee to be und racommand of secrecy as formerly, and further in Our Name to ask liberty to add & alter if there should be cause, according to justice: and likewise to desire that Our said House of peers would take care of the securing of the said persons, as in justice there should be cause: we do further declare that Our said attorney, did not advise or contrive the said Articles, nor had any thing to do with, or in advising any breach of privilege that followed after, And for what he did in obedience to Our commands, we conceive he was bound by oath, and the duty of his place, and by the trust, by us reposed in him so to do: And had he refused to obey us therein, We would have questioned him for breach of oath, duty, and Trust.  
But now having declared, that we find cause wholly to desist from proceeding against the persons accused, we have commanded him to proceed no further therein, nor to produce nor discover any proof concerning the same.
