To all the Faithfull and Loyall Subjects of ENGLAND . AS sinister ends are the subversion of true peace , so nothing but Iustice executed can establish it ; to recapitulate the one , may rather hurt then heale , rather prove a Corasive then a Cordiall ; to point a way unto the other , ( being the onely present object of popular gaze ) may doubtlesse whet your endeavours to attaine it ; wherein all by-thoughts post-posed , our highest aimes unfeignedly contend for your preservation . To pretermit the unparallel'd injuries and reproaches wherewith our innocence , with the innocence of our Royall Parents hath been aspersed by such , whose Ambition is to measure Government by will , out of a perverse antipathy , rather then any necessary enforcement thereunto ; whom we Cordially forgive , as we expect forgivenesse from the Highest , or a blessing on our endeavours for the recovery of our Fathers and our unjustly deteined Rights : Yet we cannot but with deepest sense apprehend , and with sorrow of Spirit publish to the world , the bold affronts and intollerable sufferings committed against , and pressed upon the Person & Honour of our dearest Father , together with His Subjects servitude , who are individually espoused to Him both by Law and Nature ; the only causes that engage us to re-arme , and make our way to Equity by the Sword . For though it hath been too apparently suggested into the opinion of the Vulgar , ( by those who disguise their Actions with the specious colour of pretence ) that our Fathers entring into a war-like posture ( meerly defensive ) was the sole destructive to the Kingdoms Peace ( the glory of a King being utterly inconsistent with the ruine of His People . ) VVe doubt not on the contrary , but that now palpable experience proves them figments , ( though ( for a while ) of prevalency to work upon strong Natures , even to the captivating the Iudicious ) its influence having dissolved those Catarhs ( which policy had bred in the eye of their understanding ) that now with ease they can discerne their errour . And now it is high time , and we resolve ( seeing the sense of your accumulated miseries hath revived your courage to an unanimous and generall vindication of your Lives , your Lawes and Liberties out of the iron first of Tyranny ) to give you our assistance both by Sea and Land ; and make your Cause our own in equall interest . For it were too black a guilt upon our Honour to stand by , and see the Crown pluck'd from our Fathers Head , and the Scepter wrested out of His Hand , and not betake us to a rescue , especially when God presents us with so fair an opportunity ; the tie of Nature , the deep distresses of our King and Father , the relief of an enthralled people , ( lost by love , and made miserable by their Loyaltie ) each being of force to awaken our just revenge , and whet our Sword to your deliverance . And whosoever shall assist us either with Money , Horse or Armes , or any appointed ( in Commission ) by us , we do engage our Honour so soon as it shall please God to re-invest our Royall Father in His Throne , to see them fully satisfied with interest ; and all those Gentlemen of what rank or quality soever , who through misguided zeal or otherwise , ingaged against our Father in the former VVar , if they shall come in unto us , and engage with us , VVe do faithfully promise in the word of a Prince , not only to receive them into favour , but to advance them unto honour with a respect answerable to their merits ; and what arreares are , or shall be due unto them either for their past or future service , we promise to see them fully ( at the least contentedly ) discharged . And furthermore we declare unto all His Majesties Liege people and faithfull Subjects , that we shall make it our greatest care to preserve them from violence and oppression , either of our owne Armies , or our Fathers enemies ; and whosoever shall chance to suffer in this expedition ( bearing allegeance to His Majesty ) when God shall please to crown our resolutions with prosperity , we shall endeavour a recompence to their losses , and give them satisfaction . And now we call heaven to witnesse our integrity , and the justnesse of our Cause , which we intend to prosecute , though with the losse of our dearest blood ; beseeching no further a blessing on our wayes , then we resolve them to the Almighties Glory ; and begging the prayers of all good people for the preservation of our Armies , the deliverance , safety , and glory of His Majesty , the recovery of our Lawes and Freedomes , the establishing of true Religion , and the finall dissolution of War and discord , in the joyfull acclamations of a welcome Peace . A Letter from the Prince , unto Sir Marm : Langdale , and Sir Tho : Glemham . TRusty and well-beloved , I greet you well , requiring you to communicate the inclosed to the publique ; I rejoyce your affaires prosper , I hasten to be with you : engage not too far before I come ; yet make the best advantage of opportunity . Use the Country with all civility ; refuse none that come in upon submission : Keep the Soldiers from committing violence , and God prosper your proceedings . S. Jermans , Jun. 18. 1648. C. P. Sir , IN the behalfe of his Highnesse the Prince of Wales we recommend unto your care the publishing of what is here inclosed , giving you hearty thanks for your constancy and fidelity to his Highnesse , not doubting , but ere long you will have the happinesse to kisse his hand . Our affaires goe on prosperously here , God grant the like to you . As we were writing unto you , a Messenger came to us from his Highnesse , who is ready at Callis to take shipping for Holland , so that within this week we expect his presence here . We have nothing of consequence to impart at present unto you , but that we are , Sir , Your humble Servants , M. L. T. G. FINIS .
