April the 10 th'. 1645.  
Translated out of French into English: And Printed by their Excellency's Order. STEPH. TAYLOR. Secretary  
Right Honourable.  
TWO things have moved Our Lords and Superiors to send Us their Ambassadors Extraordinary into this Kingdom, viz. Their Duty, and Your Service.  
The first, consisted in their Power, and in the resenting of the present Distractions. The other, being altogether in Your choice to accept, if You should like of it.  
We have long ago, and divers times spoken unto Your Honours of the one, and the other: as likewise unto the King, who hath honoured so much Our State, as to have accepted the offers of Our Interposition. But We are still with Your Honours upon the same terms We were at the beginning, without any certitude, or likelihood to be accepted.  
We have already obtained Our leave from the King, and have left His Majesty full of good will, and disposition for a just and reasonable Accommodation: Likewise We parted from Him well satisfied, concerning the point of the Evangelique-Protestant Religion, upon the Offers He hath lately permitted us to make.  
And as concerning the Royal Rights or Prerogatives, the Liberties and Privileges of this Kingdom, and the Parliament, and of all the Subjects, no doubt when that His Majesty shall be satisfied, His Majesty will also satisfy every one.  
But Sirs, We can stay no longer here, unless Your Honours accept of Our Interposition, without which We are useless: And from hence it is, Our Lords and Superiors have charged Us, in such a case, to take Our leave, and return to Our own home. In performance of which last Duty, We are here come before You; Assuring You, We shall never cease to wish unto this heretofore flourishing Kingdom, an Accommodation and Peace; which is, and ever will be as profitable, as necessary.
