Now there began to be an understanding between some here and the Scots for their delivery up of the Kings Person to the Parliament Both Houses agreed to appoint a Committee to ask some questions of the Duke of York touching the Kings Letter to him for his escape and to refer to the Committee of both Kingdoms a Letter newly come from the King to both Houses much to the same effect with his former desiring to come to London or to some of his Houses thereabouts with Honour and safety and that the Letter be communicated to the Scots Commissioners The Scots Commissioners had sent to the Lords to acquaint them with their speedy going away from hence to Scotland and desired to know what further service the Houses had to command them to the Parliament of Scotland Both Houses agreed that the Committee of both Kingdoms should return the thanks of the House to the Scots Commissioners for all their pains and good service taking notice of this their last respect to the two houses Orders for five hundred pound for Col. Blake for disbanding some Forces and for Sir Ben. Ayliffe and Sir William Wingfield Prisoners to be bayled 25. Though Christ-mas day the Houses â—ate ordered a Collection for the poor The Commons concurred with that part of the Vote of the Lords That the Kings coming to Holmeby shall be with respect to the safety and preservation of his Majesties Person and in preservation and defence of the true Religion The question was put whether words according to the Covenant should be passed and it pass'd in the affirmative 26. The Commons agreed with the Lords That after his Majesty was come to Holmeby house and attended by such as both houses shall appoint and that the Scots are gone out of this Kingdom the Houses will do nothing but what shall be for the preservation of the Peace and Vnion of both Kingdoms This with the rest ordered to be sent to the Lords Many Citizens attended impatiently for an answer to their Petition 28. Both Houses conferred the Searchers place of Sandwich and Dover upon Col. Mainwaring of London and other competitors were referred to a Committee to find out something for them An Ordinance pass'd at Sir Henry Vanes request to enable him to make a surrender of his place of Treasurer of the Navy Both Houses agreed that there should be no further Treaty with the King and the Commons voted That the King coming to Holmeby House and the Scots Army gone out of the Kingdom the two Houses will then joyn with the Scots in using all possible means to perswade the King to pass the Propositions and if he refuse that then the Houses will do nothing that may break the Vnion and Affection of the two Kingdoms but to preserve the same Upon this and the other Votes a Declaration was pass'd and sent up to the Lords and with them the Ordinances for Sale of Bishops Lands and for taking away the Court of Wards to be sent to the King as additional Propositions A Conference of both Houses about Compositions of Delinquents and that Lawyers and others who had taken Oaths to attend at the Terms might not be made Sheriffs who take an Oath to attend the County Affronts offered to the Parliaments Commissioners and to their Officers and Soldiers in Ireland Great wants of the Protestant Forces there so that a Soldier had but six pence and a six penny-loaf of Bread in a week to live upon 29. The Lords agreed to the Ordinances and declaration yesterday sent up to them but the Houses did not agree to a Clause added by the Lords for giving one hundred thousand pound per An. to the King in lieu of Wardships Mr. Mynnes after proofs heard and examinations was voted a Delinquent and four thousand pound due to him in the hands of Sir Humfrey Forster was ordered two thousand pound thereof to Sir John Merrick in part of his Arrears and the other two thousand pound to Whitelocke for his Arrears and Charges Order that Mr. Minnes do bring in his Deeds evidences c. for Sir Humphrey Forster and that he be indempnified for his paying the Money according to the order of the Parliament Orders for the payment of Hull Garrison for Sir Jo. Hippesley's disbursements for the State to be audited and paid To some Queries propounded by the Parliament of Scotland to the Assembly of their Kirk the Assembly gave this Answer The Quere supposeth the Kings coming into this Kingdom which we humbly conceive should not be put into the question and therefore desire your Lordships to go about all means for the present preventing of it as a matter of most dangerous consequence to Religion this Kirk and Kingdom and to the King himself and his Posterity But if the question be stated If the King be excluded from Government in England for not granting the Propositions concerning Religion and the Covenant and for not giving a satisfactory answer to the remnant Propositions whether in that case it be lawfull to assist him for the recovery of the Government or if it be not lawful being put to it we cannot but answer in regard of the ingagement of this Kingdom by Covenant and Treaty Negative The Parliament of Scotland pass'd these Votes 1. That Scotland shall be Governed as it hath been for the five last years all means being used that the King may take the Covenant and pass the Propositions 2. That the taking the Scots Covenant and passing some of the Propositions doth not give warrant to assist him against England 3. That upon bare taking the Covenant we may not receive him 4. That the Clause in the Covenant for defence of the Kings Person is to be understood in defence and safety of the Kingdom 5. That the King shall not execute any power in Scotland till he hath granted the propositions concerning Religion and the Covenant and given a satisfactory answer to both Kingdoms in the rest of the Propositions presented to him by both Kingdoms at Newcastle 6. That if his Majestie refuse to pass the Propositions he shall be disposed of according to the Covenant and Treaties 7. That the Vnion be firmly kept between the Kingdoms according to the Covenant and Treaties 30. The Fast day divers new Members took the Covenant and voted that all such Members who have not taken it shall take it the next Fast day or be suspended the House 31. Instructions for the Commissioners who are to take possession of the Garrisons upon the departure of the Scots and for the Hostages agreed upon and a Letter to General Leven that the Scots may lay no Assesments nor take any free Quarter upon their March after the first hundred thousand pound shall be paid Order for the Ammunition in Berwick and Carlisle to be brought to New-castle Debate about the City Petition and Crowds of Citizens attending to know what was done in it In the afternoon they sate again and till
now delivered The Treaty upon the King's Propositions as well as upon the Commissioners going slowly on and their Instructions being strict and such as they could not shew to the King when he desired it he thought fit Apr. 12. to send a Message to the Parliament during the Treaty to this effect That as soon as he was satisfied in his first Proposition and as soon as the Members of both Houses should be restored and that his Majesty and both Houses may be secured from tumultuous Assemblies which he conceived could not otherwise be done but by adjourning the Parliament to some place twenty miles from London such as the Houses should agree upon His Majesty would consent to the Disbanding of the Armies and would return speedily to his Parliament This being intimated to the Commissioners they disswaded the sending of it as that which they feared might break off the Treaty and the improbability that the Houses would adjourn and leave the City of London their best Friends and Strength and put a discontent upon them Yet the King was prevailed with to send it and upon the Receipt of it by the Houses they presently resolved to call away their Commissioners and sent their Orders to them to return to the Parliament which they obeyed and so this Treaty having continued from the 4. of March to the 15. of April was now dissolved and all their labours and hazards become fruitless and of no effect and all good English men lovers of the Peace of their Countrey were troubled and disappointed The Earl of Northumberland demeaned himself with much courage and wisedom and was full of civility to the other Commissioners and the port they lived in at Oxford by the Earl's direction and managed by his Officers was full of State and Nobleness Mr. Pierpoint acted his part with deep foresight and prudence and was exceeding courteous to his fellow Commissioners Sir William Ermyn was a Gentleman of good understanding and conversation and would give his opinion upon good reason Sir John Holland a Gentleman of excellent parts as well as person shewed a very good Judgment and testimony of his Abilities Mr. Whitelocke was put upon very much labour and had both from the Earl and the rest of the Commissioners a great share of favour and respect When they were come to the Parliament they gave them a particular Account of all their Negotiation wherewith they were so well satisfied that they ordered the thanks of the House to be given them and by vote approved of all their proceedings The Lord Brooke having seised the King's Ammunition at Northampton marched from thence to Warwick and so to Stratford upon Avon where he beat out of the Town the Forces of Colonel Crocker and Wagstaffe and coming to Lichfield the Earl of Chesterfield and his Forces left the Town and betook themselves to the Close But in the fight one of his men shooting at the Window of the Lord Brook's Chamber where his Lordship was the Bullet pierced his Eye and my Lord instantly died At which Brook's Souldiers inraged recollected themselvers renewed the fight and took the Close with the Earl and all his Souldiers and Ordnance Shortly after the Earl of Northampton with part of the King's Army enters Lichfield and drives the Parliaments Forces into the Close and Sir John Gell and Sir William Brereton coming with 3000 Horse and Foot to relieve them were fought with and defeated but the Earl was slain in the head of his Forces Afterwards Prince Rupert fell upon the Parliament Forces there under Colonel Russell who rendred the place upon honourable conditions April 17. General Essex sate down before Reading where he made two attempts and was beaten off The King marched from Oxford to Wallingford to relieve Reading and Essex his Forces encreasing they worsted and killed many of the King's party at Cavesham and they furiously playing upon the Town Fielding the Lieutenant Governour Sir Arthur Aston being hurt with the fall of a Brick surrendred the Town to Essex Fielding for this was sentenced by a Council of War to lose his Head but was afterwards pardoned May 3.

Monsieur Harcout came Embassadour from France to mediate an Accommodation but effected nothing The King drew to his assistance the Irish and the Parliament brought in the Scots to whom they swore the Solemn League and Covenant This was long debated in the House of Commons whether the Members of Parliament should take it or not and carried in the Affirmative and those looked upon as ill affected who were backward to take it And after that upon a new and great Debate it was ordered to be taken by all persons in the City and Countrey and those who were known to refuse it were branded with the mark of Malignancy Sir Ralph Hopton at Launceston drove back Chidley and his forces but by a pannick fear in a tempestuous Night they fled back to Launceston Yet shortly after they defeated the Parliament forces Chidley revolts to the King and defeated the Cornish May. 27. The Parliament forces gained a Victory at Wakefield against the King's forces Colonel Nathaniel Fiennes discovered a Plot of Yeoman's and others to betray Bristol to the King for which they were sentenced by a Council of War to be hanged and though the King wrote to the Magistrates and General Ruthen to Colonel Fiennes the Governour to spare their lives yet they were executed In the end of this Month of May died Mr. John Pym that eminent active Member of the House of Commons and it was believed that the Multitude of his business and cares did so break his Spirits and Health that it brought his Death June began with the Arraignment of Waller a Member of the House of Commons Tomkins Challoner and others for conspiring to surprize the City Militia and some Members of Parliament and to let in the King's forces to surprize the City and dissolve the Parliament Waller a very ingenious man was the principal Actor and contriver of this Plot which was in design when he and the other Commissioners were at Oxford with the Parliaments Propositions And that being then known to the King occasioned him to speak the words to Waller when he kissed his hand though you are the last yet you are not the worst nor the least in our favour as is before remembred When he was examined touching this Plot he was asked whether Selden Pierpoint Whitelocke and others by name were acquainted with it he answered that they were not but that he did come one Evening to Selden's Study where Pierpoint and Whitelocke then were with Selden on purpose to impart it to them all and speaking of such a thing in general terms those Gentlemen did so
midnight about the City Petition and some perhaps were a little awed by the multitudes of Citizens attending at the door of the House They agreed upon a Declaration against all such Persons as take upon them to Preach or expound the Scriptures except they be Ordained And this gave much offence to those of the Independent Judgment January 1646.

and that the Armies Forces streighten the Town The General Council of Officers of the Armies and Fleet of the three Nations sat dayly they voted That a Parliament be called before February next to sit and act according to such Qualifications as are or shall be agreed upon and may best secure the just rights liberties and privileges both Civil and Religious of the People of this Common-wealth 11. Intelligence of attempts of Insurrections in Sussex but defeated So was a design to surprize the Tower A Commission was sealed to Whitelocke and several other Gentlemen of Bucks for the Militia in that County 12. Intelligence that Monk was come to Berwick and that he wrote to Lambert for a Pass for his three Commissioners to come thither to him which caused suspicion of his further delay 13. The General Council of the Officers agreed upon seven Articles 1. That there be no King-ship 2. No single person as chief Magistrate 3. That an Army be continued 4. No Imposition upon conscience 5. No House of Peers 6. The Legislative and Executive powers to be in distinct hands 7. Parliaments to be Elected by the People The Resolutions were committed to a committee of the Common Council 14. The Council of Officers signified their Opinions to the Committee of safety that the best way to satisfie and appease the present distractions would be to have a Parliament forthwith summoned without a King or House of Peers Thereupon the Committee agreed upon a Proclamation to be issued declaring That a Parliament should be summoned to meet January next according to Qualifications And the Proclamation was sealed which gave satisfaction to many Orders by the Common Council of London for preserving the Peace Intelligence of Alarms taken by Monks Forces and that he had taken many Scots into his Army And that Newcastle was resolute for Fleetwoods party that they suspected Monk's design to be to bring in the King 15. The Proclamation for a Parliament was solemnly published Whitelocke did much further it At the General Council of Officers of the Armies when they considered of Qualifications of the Members and way of Electing them Whitelocke informed them that some things propounded were expresly contrary to the Law and to the Oath which he had taken as Keeper of the Seal And therefore if those things should be insisted upon he could not without breach of his Oath and Duty Seal Writs for a Parliament after that manner Some of the Officers said That if Whitelocke would not do it they would Seal the Writs themselves Whitelocke replyed that he was ready to deliver up the Seal to them and that it was there ready for them if they pleased to take it from him Another Officer said That it could not be well when in such a time as this a Lawyer should be intrusted with so great a charge as the keeping of the Great Seal And that it were more proper for some who had endured the dangers of the War and adventured their Lives for the service of the Common-wealth to have the keeping of the Seal than for a Lawyer to have it who had not undergone dangers as others had Whitelocke replyed again that the Gentleman who disparaged Lawyers might remember the services done by Ireton Reynolds Jones and other Lawyers in this War and that Whitelocke had been in such dangers in the service of the Common-wealth particularly in his Swedish journey as the Colonel had never been in and therefore desired that such reproachfull language might be forborn Fleetwood and others justified Whitelocke and his Profession and silenced the Colonel 16. The General Council of Officers of the Armies desired the Committee of safety that Writs might be issued out for Election of Parliament men 17. Lawson and his Officers set forth a declaration that the long Parliament should sit again whereupon Vane and others were sent to him to inform him better The Forces lay still about Portsmouth some designs of an Insurrection at Bristoll were prevented 18. The like designs of the King's party at Colchester were prevented 19. No quiet was enjoyed by any party all were at work and the King's party very active And every man was guided by his own Fancy and Interest those in employment were most obnoxious to trouble 20. Many wished themselves out of these dayly hazards but knew not how to get free of them the distractions were strangly high and dayly increasing A design of a rising in London laid by the King's party but discovered and prevented and many of the Conspirators taken 21. Letters that several of the Forces which Fleetwood sent to reduce Portsmouth were gon into the Town and joyned with them some of Colonel Rich's men and others 22. That the Isle of Wight was come in to the Parliament party Letters from Vice-Admiral Lawson and his Officers to the City and others to the Militia of London declaring for restoring the Parliament And from Haslerigge Walton and Morley from Portsmouth to the City acquainting them with their success there Most of the Souldiery about London declared their judgment to have the Parliament sit again in Honour Freedom and Safety And now those who formerly were most eager for Fleetwood's party became as violent against them and for the Parliament to sit again These passages perplexed Whitelocke as well as others if not more he alâ— along suspecting Monk's design The Lord Willoughby and Alderman Robinson M. G. Brown Mr. Loe and others came to him and confirmed his suspicion in this particular and propounded to him to go to Fleetwood and to advise him to send forthwith to the King at Breda to offer to bring him in upon good terms and thereby to get before hand with Monk who questionless did intend to bring in the King Whitelocke upon serious thoughts of this went to Fleetwood and they had a long private discourse together wherein Whitelocke told him That by the desire of his Brother Sir Will. Fleetwood and of the Lord Willoughby M. G. Brown Alderman Robinson Mr. Loe and others he was come to discourse freely with him about their present condition and what was fit to be done in such an exigency as their Affairs were now in That it was more than evident that Monk's design was to bring in the King and that without any terms for the Parliament party whereby all their lives and fortunes would be at the mercy of the King and his party who were sufficiently enraged against them and in need of repairing their broken fortunes That the Inclinations of the Presbyterian party generally and of many others and of the City and most of the Parliaments old friends were the same way and a great part of the Souldiery And that these here were revolted from Fleetwood as those in the North under Lambert and those at Portsmouth and other places That Monk would easily delude Haslerigge and the rest of the old Parliament men and that
