THE True Copy of a Letter, sent from John Du Plosis, Cardinal Richleie, Cardinal of France.  
Most illustrious Princess,  
THe News of your absence from England, and your arrival in Holland, did cause most wonderful astonishment in your Royal Brother's Breast, and did beget a passion correspondent to the Excellency of his Affection and Person.  
We do conceive the cause to be the denial of your Liberties of Religion; wherein the greatest part of that discontent must of necessity redound unto our Royal Musters Dishonour.  
The Conditions which were promised when you were first thought worthy to be joined to England's Monarch, are violated, and the most weighty privilege which then was entreated of, and allowed, is now abridged you, and denied you, His propriety of Nature cannot be extinguished by the Remote distance of your Royal Person; Neither will He wink at your wrongs, wherein himself must, and will slain a particular share. Your Excellency may still believe, and shall find, that although we have lost the splendour and presence of your Person; you have not lost the faith and truth of your Servants, whose Lives and Fortunes, shall always be prepared in an Honourable Cause to serve your Highness.  
The Cause of your remaining now in Holland may need no other demonstration unto us, than what the Information of the Occurrences of the Affairs in England doth instruct us withal; by which we can apprehend the great affronts and injuries offered unto your Excellent Majesty, in the abridgement of your Liebrty of Conscience, and the tequestration of those Persons from your Presence: in whose Loyalty you were pleased to receive some satisfaction and content.  
I beseech you, let not your Grace be by this sudden storm any way discouraged, but shine with your Native glory in despite of your Enemy's prohibition, which must not last long, but like a thick Cloud will be blown over and dissolved.  
Your Glorious Constancy to your Faith, and exemplary patience in your sufferings, will be both remembered and revenged.  
The same Almighty God, by whose providence you were born, and preserved unto this height of Dignity, will also according to the merit of your Faith, preserve you therein, and reward you abundant devotion, and constancy. They deserve not the victorious Crown, who desist in the heat of the battle, and whose timorous spirits aim at a victory without opposition. But I hope that rather pleasure and desire of seeing those parts, rather drew abroad, than any conceit of discontent, unto your Royal Person, for it cannot be believed, that His Majesty Your Royal England's King, would permit or conjure at the least Dishonour which should be imagined to disquiet your sacred peace.  
I beseech your Excellency to pardon, if in devotion of my engaged service I have slipped forth any unbeseeming Language, in Clemency vouchsafe to look upon my Errors, and Infirmities, if at this time any have rudely pressed into Your Grace's privacy, and wink at them as the dutiful mistakes of  
Your Highness' most faithful Servant, Joh. Richley. Paris, April 1642.   

His Majesty's second Message to the Parliament, concerning Sir john Hothams' Refusal to give his Majesty Entrance into his Town of Hull.  
WE are so much concerned in the undutiful affront (an indignity all our good Subjects must disdain in our behalf) We received from Sir john Hotham at Hull, that we are impatient till we receive Justice from you; and are compelled to call again for an Answer, being confident (however you would be so careful, (though without Our consent) to put a Garrison into that Our Town, to secure it and Our Magazine against any attempt of the Papists) that you never intended to dispose and maintain it against Us your Sovereign: Therefore we require you forthwith (for the business will admit no delay) That you take some speedy course, that our said Town and Magazine be immediately delivered up unto Us, and that such severe exemplary proceed be against those persons (who have offered Us this unsupportable affront and injury) as by the Law is provided: And till this be done, We shall intent no business whatsoever (other than the business of Ireland) For if we are brought into a Condition so much worse than any of our Subjects, that whilst you all enjoy your Privileges, and may not have your Possessions disturbed, or your Titles questioned, We only may be spoiled, thrown out of our Towns, and our Goods taken from us; 'tis time to examine how We have lost those Privileges, and to try all possible ways, by the help of God, the Law of the Land, and the affection of Our good Subjects, to recover them, and vindicate ourself from those Injuris. And if we shall miscarry herein, We shall be the first Prince of this Kingdom that hath done so; having no other end, but to de … The true Protestant Profession, The Law of the Land and The Liberty of the Subject: And Ood so deal with Us, as we continue in those Resolutions.
