Letters from the Isle of Wight say That his Majesty begins to grow exceeding discontented and melancholy and feareth much the present Overtures of the Army touching their seizing on his Royall person which hath occasioned many sundry contemplative expressions from his Majesty who saith that if they execute their wills on Him by spilling of his Royall bloud He feareth divers more will follow These dismall Representations causeth much sadnesse and mourning throughout severall corners of the Nation But it is thought that some new addresses will be made from the severall Counties to the Parliament and Army in behalf of their dread Soveraign the King Other Letters from the Isle of Wight say that his Majesty hath solicited Col. Hamond Governor therof that none may have the power and protection of his person but himself and those who were intrusted formerly by his two Houses but the said Colonell hath declared to the contrary being weary of so great a charge and hath sent a Letter to the House of Peers which was this day read humbly desiring their Lordships to take off from him the care of the Kings person and to make such provision for him as they in their wisdoms shall think fit to the end that he may be discharged of the said trust or imployment And the said Letters further make mention that his Maiesty hath againe debated the heads of the Armies Remonstrance and doth declare a very ill sense thereof protesting that he had formerly a good opinion of them and little thought that they would have ever acted so contrary to his expectation and their former promises and therefore desireth the omnipotent God of Heaven to whom vengeance doth belong to repay them according to their own deserts and to act by them as they intend to deal by Him VIVAT REX
