The queens majesties Declaration to the states of Holland, June 20.  
AS the Faces of all britain show their hearts and inclinations, so if their hearts were glazed with a crystal, they would appear fearful of the future were not the Representative Body of the State careful to cure the present malady, purge the distempered humour, and save the much gangred body, by cutting some rotten and putrifide members of which infect, insest, and invade the republic, those are the greatest Incendiaries which now lie lurking about about this Kingdom, who adhere and join with the malignant party, and those are the greatest part of our Distractions and ruins, they being the greatest cause of all our Distempers at this present.  
Which Times are like to prove very dangerous to the Common-wealth, unless God of his infinite mercy be pleased to prevent their Damnable Designs.  
For it is reported, that the Malignant party which are about His Majesty, doth now begin to assemble in great Multitudes, striking terror and fear into the hearts of His Majesties loving Subjects; especially, about the Countries adjoining to Yorkshire.  
For it is divulved openly, that some of the Lords doth now begin to seize upon Towns in the North parts, but God grant that this Keport may prove false, and that we may not live to see such dreadful Times as those, to have dissensions and Civill Wars amongst ourselves; For we may see the beginning, but God knows who shall live to see the ending.  
In Richard the 3. time, when the Civill Warres began to increase in this kingdom, there was many a great and bloody battle fought in this island, thousands of men being slain therein; even so may it prove now, unless God of his great mercy prevent it.  
These Rumours hath been divulged through many Nations, which hath been a great encouragement both to our foreign and home-bred Enemies.  
These sad and woeful Distractions our most gracious Queen took into consideration, daily heating of the Discensions which were betwixt His Sacred Majesty, and his Great council the High Court of Parliament, which caused great Discontent to arise in her royal breast, and considering seriously with herself shee thought it meet and expedient to make her Desires known to the States, and to propound these Propositions unto them, declaring Her Resolution concerning the Parliament of England.  
On Wednesday the 22. of this month, there was a Report made to the House of Commons, 〈◇〉 the ●●een took Order, That the States of 〈…〉 should meet together, and desired them to use what means they could to mediate between the King of England, and His Great council the Honourable Court of Parliament.  
The States hearing of Her Majesties Desires, gave their assents thereto, and appointed the time to have a general meeting, where being met, they sate a great while in debate, and could not agree, returning an Answer to Her Majesty that they were loathe to intermeddle with the affairs of another State.  
Her Majesty receiving this Answer she earnestly desired to speak with some of them, and sent a Message to them, desiring them that they would be pleased to grant to the aforesaid Propositions, wherein she declared her Desires, entreating them to give their Consents to her Requests.  
The States hearing how importunant Her Majesty was for the performance of Her Demands, they most graciously gave their Consents to what she desired, and ahpointed that the young Prince of Orange, Duke Robert, and Gustavus Horn, should immediately be dispatched for England with a Message to the King and Parliament, to use means to join the King and Parliament in Unity and Concord together.  
Which God grant they may, That so this Kingdom may flourish in its purity of Religion, the Laws of this Realm be Established, and Enacted both by King and Parliament; the Which being assented to and performed, His Majesty will be settled in His royal Dignity, and his Crown so fastened upon His head, that all foreign Powers hereafter cannot remove it.  
Both Houses received Letters from Holland, that divers ships were going towards the North, but they were resisted and kept from going by the English navy.  
The Lords declared at a Conference, that it was very requisite the Earl of Liecester should go into Ireland, to which M. Pym made answer, that the Earl of Liecester was very willing to go, but that many weighty and just occasions hindered him.  
There came divers Propositions from the Commissioners of Scotland, concerning the moneys which they had formerly laid out.  
Desiring that His Majesty would be pleased to assent to the Ordinance of both Houses, agreed on by them, &c.  

Ordered by the Honourable House of Commons, That this shall be printed and published through the whole kingdom, by the Consent of the High Court of Parliament.
