THE KINGS MAJESTIES LETTER TO THE queen CONCERNING The proceedings betwixt England and Scotland. &c.  

WORTHY SIR,  
LEast new discoveries should cause old actions to be forgotten, in remuneration of your former courtesies, I thought it no less then part of my duty, in a brief manner, to put you in mind of some few particulars, whereby you may the better satisfy yourself and others in things of this nature; not that it is any way pleasing to me to me to ripp open old offences, after renewed repentance, but obstinacy and perverseness deserves no less then sharp reproof wheresoever it is found.  
Therefore, I desire you to consider of the enclosed Paper, being entitled, A Letter from the King to the Queen, but intercepted. However, mistake not my meaning in perusing of it, who am  
SIR, Your unfeigned friend and Servant, T. WILSON. Cowes-Castle, 24. Febr. 1647.  
Postscript.  
SIR,  
Vpon the close of this Letter, I thought meet to put you in mind of some few Copies to be sent down into these parts, to be dispersed amongst the Inhabitants in the western Counties, that so the true sense of former actions, may be made apparent to the weakest capacity, I remain  
Yours to serve you, T. W.   

A perfect Copy of the Kings Letter to the Queen, intercepted, and sent to London,  
dear HEART,  
I Will be ever constant to the rules and grounds thou left● with me, not dassenting in the least from my former principles, but commending thee for thy dexterity and activity, and I think none more fit to be a means of a glorious peace then thyself; and without thy company I can neither have peace nor comfort, for I value thy love above all earthly things, and that is my contentment; for all my actions are inseparably joined with thine, and shall ever tend to serve and please thee, and no danger of death or misery, shall make m do any thing unworthy of thy love, and I hope the difference between the Scots and the English will increase, and the dissen●ions at London, are rather increasing then ceasing; and be confident, I will not desert the Papists, mine and thy best friends.  
And fear not, I will not engage myself before I have an answer from thee, nor consent to go to London before the disbanding of the Army, or a firm peace be settled.  
And I conceive France, is the best way for transporting the Duke of Lorraines Army over into England. And I give thee power in my name, to promise to whom thou think fit to trust with so great a secret, that I will suspend all Laws against the Roman catholics in England and Ireland, as soon as God shall enable me I will take them away by a Law, so as by thy means and favour I may have so powerful an assistance against my Rebels of England and Scotland, as may deserve so great a favour, and enable me to do it; and also to promise them in Ireland, if you can have it no cheaper, that I will join with their Forces against Inchiqueen, &c. And if I had had but two of my mind, I would never have called them a Parliament; and the argument that prevailed with me, that the calling of them did not aclowledge them to be a Parliament▪ upon which consideration and condition I did it, and no otherwise, and accordingly it is registered in the council book, with the councils unanimous approbation: and I pray consider above all earthly things, that my contentment is inseparably joined with thine, for all my actions shall ever tend to serve and please thee. I remain eternally thine.  
C. R.   

Certain Proposals to the kingdom of England, touching the late proceedings of the King.  I. COncerning bleeding Ireland, That not long before the Rebellion in that Kingdom broken forth, there was often private meetings at White-hall, by several great persons, who since proved the most bloody Actors in that detestable war. II. That when the King first heard of that horrid Rebellion, and of the massacre of one hundred thousand of his Protestant Subjects( he being in Scotland) divers standards by then did discover by the Kings several questions to the messengers, and by his gesture, that he had little sorrow for so horrible and treacherous a massacre. III. That at the first beginning of the Rebellion, his Majesty was often pressed to publish a Proclamation against them by the Proclamation of England, and to be red in all the, Churches of this Kingdom, but could not fully accomplish it, having only a grant of 40. to be printed, and none issued out, but by his Majesties special command. IV. That by the countenancing of the Irish Rebellion, the Rebels in all their Papers and transactions of business, styled themselves the King and Queens Army, saying, they had good warrant under black and white for their proceedings, and crying out against the English Parliament and Puritans, as the Kings enemies and theirs, and divers depositions and papers, extant and in paint to that purpose, before these unnatural wars began, that they have the bread seal for their warrant. V. That his Majesty granted a strong Commission to Geneneral Oneal, General of the Irish Army, as did appear by the great controversy betwixt the said Oneal, and General Monrose, that he who could show the best Commission from the King should submit to each other. VI. That the Kings designs and welfare do much depend upon the good success of the Irish Army under command of the Lord Taffe, as appears by the Lord Digbie, touching the late battle betwixt the said Taff, and the Lord Inchiqueen. VII. His employing the Lord Taff in England, and many other Irish in his Army against the Parliament of England, and their Army. VIII. That divers strange Chaplains, not long before these troubles began, were authorised to preach at White-hall, for the raising up of the Kings Prerogative; and set before him, by way of emulation, the broken Parliament of France, and that he was Lord of all the kingdom, and that all mens estates were his. IX. They also declared, That if the King, like Nebuchadnezar, should set up a golden Image to be adored, the people if they refused that Idolatry, are bound to suffer death quietly, and not resist the King, as if whole Nations were made for the pleasure and will of a King, and be subject to him, as the Beasts were to Adam: and such men as these generally were preferred by the Bishops, which when they had another head the Pope, the matters of State many times went very justly for the interest of the Common-wealth; but of latter times were mere servants to Prerogative, and against all interest of the Common-wealth. X. That King Charles hath often said, that Parliaments were factious, because they were ever opposite to Tyrannicall Prerogative, and Court-designs. XI. The under-hand dealings wath the King of Denmark, as appeareth by the Kings own Letters and practices with the Army raised against the Scots, and with the Scots Army.
