PROPOSITIONS Agreed upon By Both HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT TO Be sent to the King's Majesty, for PEACE, And for settling of the Church, and Kingdom, that his Majesty may come to London, and sit with his PARLIAMENT.  

Die Veneris 27 August 1647.  
THe House of Commons this day desired a conference with the Lords, about the Propositions to be sent to the King's Majesty, And accordingly their Lordships met them in the Painted Chamber.  
This conference was managed by Mr. Lisle of the House of Commons, who made a learned speech before the Lords and Commons there present.  
Mr. Lisle declared that he was commanded by the House of Commons to acquaint their Lordships, that they do adhere to their former Votes in passing those Propositions agreed upon by both Houses of the Parliament of England, and the Parliament of Scotland, with as little alteration as may be.  
Mr. Lisle also moved that the right Honourable the Earl of Salisbury may be one of the Conservators for the Peace of the Kingdoms, in the place of the deceased Earl of Essex.  
Two Reasons were delivered at the Conference for the passing of the Propositions, to be sent to the King's Majesty, with no more alterations, then what must of necessity be.  
I. THat thereby they may be the speedier dispatched, for to make much alterations, more than what must needs be done, would be an occasion to make it longer before they can be dispatched, the speeding of which is of great consequence to the settling of the peace and safety of the Kingdom.  
II. That they have already passed both Houses, and there is the consent of the Kingdom of Scotland; and therefore may with more speed be dispatched, without alterations more than must of necessity be.   

Die Veneris 27 Aug. 1647.  
AFter this conference both Houses of Lord and Commons sat; And agreed upon the Propositions to be sent to the King's Majesty for a safe, and well grounded Peace, in which Propositions, there are very few alterations from those that were delivered to his Majesty at Newcastle both concerning Religion, the Covenant, the Militia, Ireland, and all other things therein expressed, The greatest alterations being only about the sale of Bishop's Lands, and some other particulars which the change of the present state of things doth necessarily require.  
Those Propositions (with the alterations) so passed both Houses of Parliament are to be communicated to the Scotch Commissioners at Woster House in the Strand, by Commissioners from the Houses, to desire their concurrence to the Propositions that so they may be speedily sent to his Majesty to be passed.  
THese Propositions being passed by his Majesty will (through God's blessing) conduce much, to the settling of the Kingdom in an happy Peace.  
And so soon as the Commissioners of the Kingdom have given their consent, they are to be dispatched away to the King.   

The Copy of a Letter from his Majesty's Court at Hampton Court  
SIR,  
WE are yet here at Hampton Court, The Headquarters of the Army are removing to Putney, and then I suppose the King will remove from hence nearer London.  
It is supposed that the King will remove on Tuesday next, but whither is not yet resolved; We have many flock to the Court, every day more than other, ten, sixteen, and twenty Coaches in a day; And we perceive the coming of divers Malignants hither.  
The King is very merry, but the old late Bishops, and Delinquent Clergy, are much dejected, by reason of the General's Excellencies stopping of their designs, and by the Ordinance of the Parliament, which hinders them from accomplishing their hoped ends to have crept into their live again, by their late stratagem The Propositions from the Parliament (I suppose) would now come very seasonably to his Majesty The Lord direct his Majesty's heart to pass them, for the settling of the Church, and Kingdom, that his Majesty may come to London to sit with his Parliament. God direct all to a firm and lasting Peace, to his glory and the comfort of this poor distressed Kingdom, and of  
Your unworthy Servant, WILL. CORBET New-market 26 of August 1647.
