CHARLES R.  
HIS MAjESTY looking with grief of Heart upon the sad sufferings of His People in His three Kingdoms for some years past, and being afflicted with their Distresses and unquiet Condition, through the Distractions about Religion, the keeping of Forces on foot in the Fields and Garrisons, the not satisfying the public Debts, and the fears of the further Effusion of blood by the Continuance of an unnatural war in any of these kingdoms, or by Renting or Dividing these kingdoms so happily united; And having sent a Gracious Message unto both Houses of Parliament, and the Commissioners of the Parliament of Scotland, expressing the necessary Causes of His coming from Oxford unto the Scottish Army,( without any intention to make a Division, where He is in freedom, and Right Capacity to settle a true Peace) and containing such Offers as He conceived would have been accepted, with a general Clause of complying with their Desires; And being impatient of delays, and not acquainted with the particulars which may give Contentment to them, His MAjESTY doth earnestly desire, That the Propositions of Peace so often promised, and so much expected, may be speedily sent unto Him, That upon Consideration of them, He may apply himself to give such satisfaction, as may be the Foundation of a firm Peace. And for the better and more speedy attaining thereto, His MAjESTY doth further propound, That He may come to London with Safety, Freedom, and Honour, where He Resolves to Comply with His Houses of Parliament in every thing which may be most for the good of His Subjects, and perfect what remaines for settling both kingdoms and People in a happy Condition; Being likewise most confident, That they, according to their reiterated Declarations, and solemn Protestations, will be zealous in the maintenance of His Honour, and Just and lawful Rights. And His MAjESTY desires the Houses of Parliament, To disburden the kingdom of all Forces and Garrisons in their power, except such as, before these unhappy Times, have been maintained for the necessary defence and safety of this kingdom; So He is willing forthwith to Disband all His Forces and Garrisons within the same, as the enclosed Order herewith sent will evidence. And if upon these Offers His MAjESTY shall have such satisfaction as He may be confident a firm Peace shall ensue thereon, His MAjESTY will then give Order for His son the PRINCE his present return.
