YOu are hereby to take notice That the two Houses have considered his Majesties Answer to their reasons concerning the Cessation wherein there are divers expressions which reflect much upon the honor and Justice of the Houses and might occasion particular Replies Yet at this time they desire to decline all contestation their wishes and endeavours being earnestly bent upon the obtaining a speedy peace For which cause they do not think good to consume any more of that time allowed for the treaty in any farther debates upon the Cessation concerning which they find his Majesties expressions so doubtfull that is cannot be suddenly or easily resolved and the remainder of the time for the whole treaty being but seven dayes if the Cessation were presently agreed it would not yeild any considerable advantage to the kingdom Wherfore you shall desire his Majesty That he will be pleased to give a speedy and positive Answer to their first Propostion concerning the disbanding that so the people many not have only a shadow of peace in a short time of Cessation but the substance of it in such manner as may be a perpetuall blessing to them by freeing the Kingdome from those miserable effects of War the effusion of English bloud and desolation of many parts of the Land For the obtaining of which happinesse The Lords and Commons have resolved to enlarge your power That if you shall not have fully agreed upon the two first Propositions before Friday night you may notwithstanding any former restraint proceed to treat upon them according to the Instructions formerly given you although the Articles of the cessation are not agreed upon And those two first Propositions being concluded the two Houses will thereupon give you further instructions to proceed to the other Propositions that so the whole treaty may be determined within the twenty dayes formerly limited to be reckoned from the 25. of March last which can admit no alteration or enlargement without manifold prejudice and danger to the whole Kingdom John Brown Cler. Parliamentorum The Paper to the King upon the Instructions for disbanding Received April 8. 1643. BY Instructions this day received from both Houses of Parliament we humbly conceive that we are to acquaint Your Majesty That they have taken into consideration Your Majesties Answer to their reasons concerning the cessation wherein there are divers expressions which will occasion particular replies which at this time they desire to decline their wishes and endeavours being earnestly bent upon the obtaining a speedy peace for which cause they do not think good to consume any more of the time allowed for the treaty in any farther debates upon the cessation concerning which they find your Majesties expressions so doubtful that it cannot be suddenly or easily resolved and the remainder of the time for the whole treaty being but 7 dayes if the cessation were not presently agreed it would not yeeld any considerable advantage to the kingdom Wherfore we are required to desire your Majesty to give a speedy and positive answer to the first proposition concerning the disbanding that so your subjects may not only have a shadow of peace in a short time of cessation but the substance of it in such manner as may be a perpetuall blessing to them by freeing the Kingdom from those miserable effects of War the effusion of English bloud and desolation of many parts of the land Northumberland

And that if those Rights which he received from his Predecessours were really so formidable That would have beene more feared before which is now feared so much and his Forts and Castles would either not have been attempted or at least have enabled him to defend and keep them and have kept this from being a Question now between them Which since they could not do his Majestie if he had as much inclination as he hath more right to Feares and Jelousies might have more reason to insist upon some addition of Power as a security to enable him to keepe his Forts when he hath them then they to make any diffcultie to restore them to him in the same condition they were before But as his Majesty contents himselfe with so he takes God to witnesse his greatest desire is alwaies to observe and maintain the Law of the Land and expects the same from his Subjects and beleeves the mutuall observance of that rule and neither of them to feare what the Law fears not to be on both parts a better cure for that dangerous disease of Fears and Jealousies and a better means to establish a happy and a perpetuall Peace then for his Majestie to devest himselfe of those trusts which the Law of the Land hath setled in the Crowne alone to preserve the power and dignity of the Prince for the better protection of the Subject and of the Law and to avoid those dangerous distractions which the interest of any Sharers with him would have infallibly produced Falkland The Papers concerning the Ships March 27. 1643. To that part of your Majesties first Proposition which cencerns your ships we humbly give this Answer That the Ships shall be delivered into the charge of such a noble person as your Majestie shall nominate to be Lord high Admirall of England and the two houses of Parliament confide in who shall receive the same Office by Letters Patents quàm diu se bene gesserit and shall have power to nominate and appoint all subordinate Commanders and Officers and have a●l other powers appertaining to the Office of high Admirall which Ships he shal imploy for the defence of the Kingdom against all forraigne Forces whatsoever and for the safeguard of Merchants securing of Trade and the guarding of Ireland and the intercepting of all supplies to be carried to the Rebels and shall use his utmost endeavour to suppresse all Forces which shall be raised by any person without your Majesties authority and consent of the Lords and Commons in Parliament and shall seize all Armes and Ammunition provided for supply of any such Forces Northumberland W. Pierrepont J. Holland W. Armyne B. Whitelocke March 28. 1643. HIs Maiestie expects that his owne Ships bee forthwith delivered to him as by the Law they ought to bee And when hee shall please to nominate a Lord high Admirall of England it shall be such a noble person against whom no just exception can be made and if any shall be his Maiestie will alwayes leave him to his due triall and examination and grant his Office to him by such Letters Patents as have been used in the meane time his Maiestie will governe the said Admiraltie by Commission as in all times hath been accustomed And what ever Ships shall be set forth by his Maiestie or his authoritie shall be imployed for the Defence of the Kingdome against all Forraigne Forces whatsoever for the safegua●d of merchants securing of Trade guarding of Ireland and the intercepting of all supplies to be carried to the Rebels and shall use their utmost endeavours to suppresse all Forces which shall be raised by any Person whatsoever against the Lawes and Satutes of the Kingdome and to sieze all Armes and Ammunition provided for the supply of any such Forces Falkland March 29. 1643.

Pierrepont Will. Armyne Iohn Holland B. Whitelocke April 5. 1643. HIs Majestie conceives his former Answer of the 28. of March concerning his Ships to be so full that he can adde nothing thereunto in any part of it His Majestie conceiving it all the Justice in the world for him to insist that what is by Law his own and hath been contrary to Law taken from him be fully restored unto him without conditioning to impose any new limitation upon his Majesty or his ministers which were not formerly required from them by Law and thinking it most unreasonable to be prest to diminish his own just Rights himselfe because others have violated and usurped them Falkland April 10. 1643. BY Instructions yesterday received from both Houses of Parliament we are commanded humbly to insist upon the desires of both Houses expressed in our former Papers concerning the Ships And both houses of Parliament doe observe in your Majesties Answer not onely a deniall to all their desires but likewise a censure upon their proceedings Northumberland W.

HIs Majestie for the present forbears any farther Answer touching his Ships desiring first to receive the Answer of both Houses to his Message of the twelfth of this moneth But his Majestie will howsoever before their departure hence give them a further Answer Falkland April 15. 1643. HIs Majestie gave so cleare a reason to justifie what he insisted upon in the point of the Ships that he cannot but wonder to see the same againe prest to him and yet both the reason he gave left unanswered and no other Reason opposed to weigh against it His Majesties end in this was not to lay any censure upon their proceedings but it being necessary to the matter in Question for his Majestie to say what had been done and the matter of fact being such as it seems could not be repeated but it must appeare to bee censured his Majestie did not thinke himselfe bound to bee
