Tho Fairefax SIR YEsterday the Generall Lieutenant Generall Commissary Generall Ireton Lieut. Gen. Hammond and divers other Officers of the army went to the Lady Cuts house according to His Majesties desire the day before when they came there they were according to the usuall manner received by the King but with little respect after some generall di course of things The King went into the Garden and the Generall and his Officers and the Commissioners went together and conferred upon the whole carriage of the businesse The Commissioners seem'd to be much unsatisfied whereupon the King comming up againe the Generall and the Commissioners came to Him and Cornet Joyce who was the man that managed that action of securing the King was called before them all The King charged them with saying He had the commission of the whole Army for what He did and by consequence had the Generalls Hee being the principall part of the Army The Cornet replyed and did avow He told His Majesty he had not the Generalls commission when the King did particularly demand it of him and that the King askt him by what commission he did come to secure Him He answer'd the King if He pleased to looke about he might see his authority meaning the Troopers that were ready mounted whereupon the King publiquely said to the whole company That it was true indeed He did say so and it was likewise true all the Gentlemen that were mounted on horse back did cry out ●●●●ng their approbation to what He said but saith the … g I was notwithstanding perswaded that he could not … are to attempt such a thing as to bring me away but he had the countenance of greater persons Then M. Crew and Sir Iohn Cook extreamly prest against Cornet Ioyce That he deserved to loose his head for what hee had done and that he had injured the Parliament the Generall the Army and the Commssioners with the King and had brought them away without their consent whereupon Cornet Joyce replyed That the King gave his consent to come and said He would go whether the commissioners would or no and that the commissioners also gave their consent to go and that he told them He would not bring them without their consent and desired them to go for the better accommodation of His Majesty I said the King and the Commissioners you told us That we should go and then it was in vaine for us not to consent But saith the King now I am come I had the promise of those Gentlemen to be conveyed to Newmarket I take them to be men of their words and were I a meer stranger met upon the high way and stopt from going on none in civility but would provide conveniencies for Me here I have none therefore I expect to go to morrow morning to Newmarket and desire Sir Tho. Fairfax and his officers to confer together about it for the commissioners say they have no power at all further to dispose of Me for their power ended at Holdenby and was limitted to that place though the commissioners be the same Whereupon the Generall and the Officers withdraw and confer'd together and afterwards returned to his Majesty and told Him as they did at the beginning he was removed from Holdenby without their private knowledge or consent yet notwithstanding since he was unwilling to go back if the Commssioners present with Him would condescend The Generall would not be against his going to Newmarket saith the King This is a flat deniall for the commissioners say they have no power and therefore you will not shew your power if you will not do it I will try these Genlemen that brought Me I suppose they are tender of their reputation and will not fayle to waite upon Me to Newmarket The Generall promised to go to Cambridge and returne him a positive answer the last night There was variety of discourse besides this too large to mention I shall onely observe this in generall That the King is politique and subtle to lay hold upon any thing for his owne advantage either to comply with the Army or Commissioners to be against either as He sees it worke for his ends and very high and positive in his expressions and demands The last night after his Excellency came back to Cambridge he sent this inclosed to Col. Whaley after some debate with the Officers by way of Answer to His Majesties desires according to promise and ingagement This day accordingly His Majesty went from Childersley he intended by the way of Cambridge but his Excellency perceiving some inconveniencies would happen upon it sent to Col. Whalley to guard Him to Newmarket some other way and so he went by Trumpington Here was much preparation for His Majesty by strewing the streetes cutting downe of boughes and preparing for benefiers The E. of Nottingham and the other Commissioners lay at Puckridge last night they sent to the Generall to day to know where to meete Him the Generall desired at Cambridge by reason the Randezvouz is deferred till to morrow and then to be upon Triploe-heath and not at Newmarket heath by reason of the Kings being there Sir J rest Your humble servant T.
