That the said Master Denzill Holles during the late Warre in prosecution of the evill designes expressed in the generall Heads or Articles formerly exhibited contrary to the trust reposed in him contrary to his Oath taken in June 1643. and contrary to the Ordinance of Parliament dated in October 1643. hath assisted the King in the late unnaturall Warre and held correspondence and intelligence with the Enemy against the Parliament in manner following viz He the said Master Holles being one of the speciall Commissioners for the Parliament to present Propositions of both Houses to the King at Oxford did privately and contrary to his Instructions at severall times make his addresses unto the Kings Party there then in Armes against the Parliament namely unto the Earle of Lindsey the Earle of Southampton the Lord Savill and others and did secretly plot and advise them against the Parliament and did intimate unto them or one of them That the said Propositions then sent unto His Majesty by the Parliament were unreasonable And the said Master Holles being demanded what answer he would advise the King to make to the said Propositions he the said Master Holles did advise that the King should demand a Treaty however and then declare how unreasonable the Propositions were and that yet for the peace of the Kingdome His Majesty would treat upon them but withall wished the said Treaty might be in London whither the King himself should come upon security And he the said Master Holles adding that there was nothing in the world that the violent party meaning the well-affected party to the Parliament against the Enemy did so much feare as his Majesties comming to London which would be a certaine dissolution of their Authority and Power And the said Master Holles bad those said persons or one of them assure the King that if His Majesty knew as much as he the said Master Holles knew His Majesty would take his Horse and be at London the next day or words to that effect And it being againe demanded whether if the King should be willing to come it would be accepted of he the said Mr. Holles thereto answered that certainly it would be much opposed but yet he the said Mr Holles was confident that he and his Party meaning some of the Members above-named and others should carry it and wished the King to put it upon that tryall And the said Mr. Holles was desired by the said Earle of Lindsey Earle of Southhampton and Lord Savill or one of them that he would be pleased to draw such an answer in writing to the said Propositions as he desired the King should send and the said Earle of Southampton who was that night to lye in the Kings Bed-Chamber would perswade the King to condiscend unto it and thereupon the said Master Hol●es withdrew and either the same day or the next day following the said Master Holles accordingly carried in his hand unto the said Lords or one of them a paper ready written which as he said was such an answer to the said Propositions as he had drawne for the King to send to the Parliament which was taken by the said Lords or one of them and carryed to the King to be considered of and so much thereof as advised the Kings comming to London was laid by the King fearing to adventure himselfe but the rest of the said Paper the Lord Digby who writ the Kings Answer to the Propositions made use of in the same words as the said Master Holles had set downe And the said Master Holles to ingratiate himselfe with the Kings Party did about the same time revile the well-affected Members of the House of Commons declaring unto the said Kings Party at Oxford or some of them that those well-affected Members which to render them the more odious as he conceived he named the violent Independant party had ill intentions and great aversenesse to peace and that nothing would be more pleasing to them then for the King to refuse the Propositions
