The Queen's PROPHECY Concerning Prince CHARLES AND The three Crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland; With Her Letter, Advice, and Proposals, to His Highness at the Hague in Holland. Honoured Sir. THe Queen of England is much perplexed and sore troubled in mind, the Fountain and Rise whereof, taking its first derivation from the present streams or head of the Royal Offspring at the Hague; for having sent a Letter to her Son Prince Charles, to advise him to a Treaty with her Majesties and to meet her at Amians in France, but hearing that his affections had taken Centre another way, and that he could not meet her there, she resolved not to make any further address unto him, but returned bacl to Paris, condoling much the loss of her late endeared Sovereign, and the present proceed of the Prince, in reference to the work in hand touching his restauration: And after some few days spent in serious meditations watering her Princely bed with tears of sorrow, she desired a conserence with Mr. Henry Jermin, at which she declared, That she had received several Diciate in a Dream, and that many things were revealed to her thereby, by Apparitions and Visions, to wit; First, that if her Son Prince Charles did any ways alienate his affections from going to Ireland, and cast himself upon the Kingdom of Scotland, He was a lost Prince, and that they would serve him as they had done his Father, to sell him for a sum of money, and so deprive him of all Earthly felicity, which might abundantly flow from his three Crowns and Kingdoms. Secondly, That if his vigilancy were not perspicuous to those in power, in playing of his Game at Sea, that his Design would be soon frustrated, and all hopes of restauration wholly expiated, etc. Having dictated unto him these prophetical expressions, Her Majesty desired, that they might be forthwith communicated unto his Highness, which was asserted to, and a messenger immediately dispatched from thence to the Hague: Leyden 26. April, 1649. Another new Proyhfie. A Yorkshire Gentlewoman coming out of Cleveland to present some things to the House of Commons, delivered a paper to Lieut, Gen. Crumwell, containing matters which she faith she had in command from God in a Vision, viz. 1 That the Parliament reform the Clergy, & only settle such Ministers as promote holiness and the glory of God. 2 To make the Laws of the Land plain and just, grounded upon the Word of God. 3 To make speedy and effectual provision for the poor. 4 That differences be composed at home, before the breaking out of further distractions abroad. These things she saith that she being as dead for a time) were revealed to her by God, she beholding the glory of Heaven and the Almighty Jehovah. Sir, Our dependence here is, what his gracious Majesty will do, all desire his coming hither, but the professed downright Royalists would have him come with a force for there instituting him in his Right; the other party, such as real for Presbytery, would also have him come with a new heart. We hear that the vulgar sort of people do cry him up exceedingly; and say they must and will have a King though it cost them never so much: here are daily rise in several parts of the Country, the marquis of Huntleys' Son is again in arms with 2000 Gourdons to revenge his Father's death, they have declared for Charles the second, and have set forth their Invitation for all persons to come in to their assistance. Col. Car, and divers other English Officers, are likewse very active in raising or Forces, and have sent Letters of invitation into Northumberland, Cumberland, and Wer●merlund, for others to come to them, promising great matter of preferment, but it is more than they are able to perform, for the well affected party are both vigilant & active in suppressing of them. BerWick 24 Arpil, 1649. SIR, THe Prince of Wales hath had several conferences and disputations with his grand Counsellors at the Hague; they press hard for his going into Ireland, but he seems very unwilling to give his assent thereto, and hath delivered several Reasons at the Council table (in the presence of the Lord Cottington, and others) wherein he remonstrates the apparent danger that may befall his Royal person, if once he should set footing in that Kingdom, by reason of the falling off of his Subjects of Scotland, who are determined to act upon new principles, if once he appears in the head of that Army. And therefore, he was resolved to make that place his chiefest Centre for some certain time, having alienated his affections either from England, Scotland, or Ireland, till he saw an opportunity, for the playing of his Game with more facility and surety. Montrosse (during this respire of time) seriously minding the dissenting expressions of the Prince, arose from the table, and with an austeer countenance, said, That if his Majesty (for so is he called at the Court) would not hearken to the good Council now attending his Royal person, in all probability, he might become the most deplorable Prince in Christendom, and in stead of the enjoyment of the prerogative and felicity of three Kingdoms be forced to contain himself within the bounds and limits of the Territories of one Naiton. The Prince replied, That one Crown firmly and universally set, upon his head, might produce greater tranquillity and felicity to himself, and the rest of the Royal Offspring, than three that should stand in a tottering and unstable motion, &c: So that in all probability it is conjectured, that he will decline his Centre both from England and Ireland, and wholly cast himself upon the Kingdom of Scotland; for he hath declared, That he will cast off the Earl of Montrosse, and all those who are conceived Enemies to peace and truth, and apply himself to those particulars propounded from the Estates of Scotland, which are conceived to be the voice of the people, and the advice of that Kingdom. He seems to make little preparation against England, in reference to Warlike affairs, rather taking his late Father's advice and admonition, to gain it by the way of reconciliation and treaty, then by the power of the bloodthirsty Sword. But yet notwithstanding he is much pressed to the contrary, and the two Extraordinary Ambassadors from the King of Denmark, and the Queen of Swethland, hath saluted his Highness, and at a conference condoled the death of his late Father, intimating that they would use their utmost endeavours for the reinvesting of him in his just Rights and Dignities, and restoring of him to his Royal prerogative and Birth right; and to that end, have delivered their Representation and Invitation to the most high and mighty Lords, the States of the United Provinces, to join with them to assist, the said King to obtain his Birthright; but it is said they have declared their resolution, to be offensive nor defensive against either parties: So that it is verily believed, that the States will act as Neutralists, and neither meddlewith one side, nor the other. For they have declared, that nothing shall be wanting in them for the preservation of a right understanding with the parliament of England, and that they will endeavonr the union and peace thereof against all opposition whatsoever. Brill 20. April, 1649. Postscript, Sir, Since the writing of my last, the two extraordinary Ambassadors from Sweden and Denmark have had audience with the 〈◊〉 King of Scotland, representing the personal appearance of their Masters, and promising him assistance for the obtaining of his Birthright. But truly we cannot discern any visible Force as yet in Arms, and the Prince's Propositions to the old Soldiers of the United Provinces are much slighted and rejected, having unanimously declared, that they will not any ways intermeddle with the affairs of England, in relation to the erecting and setting up of Monarchy or any other Government whatsoever. Here is a great demur happened, at Court, by reason of the Parliaments Navy putting forth to Sea, which causeth many who at first seemed very forward to promote the Royal Design, to desert any further Engagement, taking a precedent by the late headless members, who acted against the Common, wealth of England.
