JOYFUL NEWS FROM NEWCASTLE Being a full Relation of the proceed of the King's Majesty, concerning his coming to LONDON.  
THe darksome Cloud which hath for many years appeared and hung over the heads of the Inhabitants of England doth now begin to show its self with a most clear and perfect resemblance, and in stead of countenancing a dismal show, doth demonstrate i●s self in her full lustre, giving us some glimpse of the apparent light, which beginneth to shine upon us, and the most happy and welcome appearance of that bright and glorious Cloud, which attends its motion, for the crowning of the Well-willers of the Peace of Zion, with unity and prosperity, as will manifestly appear, by these bright stars and shining Comets, which I shall here faithfully represent unto you, as followeth:  
The gallant proceed, and most happy concurrence of the Commissioners of the kingdom of Scotland, with the Parliament of England, doth cause the hearts of all true subjects to rejoice, instancing unto us, the blessed unity which the Inhabitants of England and Scotland are now each other to embrace; for all things being concluded of, betwixt the Parliament of England, and the Parliament of Scotland, and their Armies to departed this Kingdom in a quiet and peaceable manner (of which I shall have occasion to speak more at large in the conclusion) the chiefest object that we now look upon, is, the safe arrival and happy return of the Kings most excellent Majesty, to his great Council the honourable Houses of Parliament, that so His Royal heart may be united and knit fast to them, whose faithful endeavours, and unwearied pains, have always tended to the preservation of the person of his Royal Majesty and his posterity, the advancing of his Crown and Dignity, the maintenance and preservation of the truth and purity of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and the safety and liberty of all his Majesty's Subjects.  
And for the accomplishing of this, we are given to understand, that his Majesty hath an earnest desire to come to London, and to unite himself with his great Council, that so the streams of blood, which hath for many years gushed forth within the bowels of this bleeding Kingdom, may be stopped and prevented, and this distressed and languishing Kingdom settled in peace and prosperity.  
Some supposes that his Majesty will take his Journey from the North about a month hence, and others fancy his Majesty to be here about New years day.  
But we daily expect his Majesty, and it is supposed he will be here suddenly.  
What a terror will this be to the raging and potent enemy in Ireland, to see the happy uniting, and firm knitting of the Head & Members, which hath for many years been separated and divided. Nay, what a sting will it be to other Foreign enemies, to behold so gallant a uniting; whose former pride, were in boasting of ●nglands calamities, and laughing in their sleeves, to see our unnatural Divisions.  
But now for the general satisfaction of all people, I shall think it meet to insert some remarkable Observations concerning the disposal of his Majesty's person, viz.  
First, that the honour, safety, and freedom of the Commonwealth, may be settled, & then the honour and safety of his Majesty's Person, so fare as the latter may stand with the former, and no otherwise.  
Secondly, that when his Majesty were pleased to cast himself upon his Subjects of Scotland, the honourable houses of Parliament were pleased to wot their disposal of him, to prevent that harm which might befall his Majesty, residing in the Scottish Army in England.  
But afterwards this personal being of the King with the Scots begets a Nationall dispute of his disposal between the Kingdoms.  
The Scots claiming a right of coacting with the Parliament therein; yet declaring their opinions, that his going into Scotland is not the safest.  
It was also intimated, that seeing they approve best of his being in England; who shall take care for the good of the Kingdom, & the safety of the King's person therein, but the Parliament of England, in whom the power is for treating and concluding for the good & safety of the Kingdom, though the King be with their Army in England, and propound otherwise.  
Thirdly, the Parliament out of their great desire to have the King to come and remain with them, sent to his Majesty Propositions from both Kingdoms, and agreed for their pay and marching home.  
Which, for satisfaction of the whole Kingdom, I will here faithfully impart the manner of their departure, as followeth:  
That the 200000 l. to be told at York 100000 l. to be paid at North-A●erton, within fi●e ca●es after it is told. That when the money comes to Topcliffe the Scots shall give hostages, that they sha● quit all their quarters possessions and garrisons on the South ●●de Tyne. Newcastle & Tinmouth, with all the arms etc. within ten days: Upon performance the hostages to be redelivered.  
Upon the delivery of the Garrisons on the South side of Tyne, and of Newcastle, Tinmouth, etc. the Kingdom of Scotland shall have Hostages upon redelivery of theirs, for assurance that the other 100000. l. shall be paid on the Northside Newcastle within a mile of the works, within 8 days after the quitting Newcastle, Tinmouth, etc. and all the Forces to be drawn on the North side Tyne.  
For the payment of the other 200000. l. the Scots Commissioners desired, that it might be paid out of the sale of Delinquents estates, or some other particular security.  
The house considered of this business, and ordered to adhere to their former Vote, which was to give them the public Faith of the Kingdom for the same.  
And upon further debate thereupon, the house ordered that the sum of 900. l. should be allowed to the tellers of this first 200000. l.  
They likewise ordered, that the sum of 1600. l. should be allowed for and towards the defraying of the charges of the carriages, and conveying of this 200000. down to York. The Committee of both Kingdoms were likewise ordered to treat with the Commissioners of Scotland how their Forces should or may march for the best advantage of tho●e parts, and that they may pay their quarters as they march into their own Kingdom.  
And in case any miscarriage should be in the carriage of the said moneys to York, that the loss should be born by the whole Kingdom.  
FINIS.
