HIS MAJESTIES LETTER To His EXCELLENCY THE LORD GENERAL MONCK , To be Communicated to the OFFICERS OF THE ARMY : Brought to his Excellency from His MAJESTIES Court at the Hague , By Sir THOMAS CLARGES . CHARLES R. TRusty and Wel-beloved , We greet you well :

You will easily believe that your Letter of the fifth of this Moneth , by Sir Thomas Clarges , was very welcome to Vs ; And that as We must alwayes acknowledge the infinit mercy of GOD Almighty , in disposing the hearts of the Army in such an entire obedience to you , for the promoting and carrying on Our Service , and the Peace of the Kingdom , so We can never be without a just esteem of such a great and well disciplined Army , upon which the eyes of the World are so much fixed . We must desire you to return Our very hearty Thanks to the Officers and Souldiers for their Affection and Obedience to Vs : And to assure them from Vs , That We shall alwayes have an entire confidence in them , and ever acknowledge them to be the great Instruments of restoring Vs to the Nation , and the Nation to Vs , and Peace and Happiness and Security to Vs All : And therfore they may not only with all imaginable confidence assure themselves , That We will punctually perform whatever We have promised to them in Our Declaration or Letter , but that We will take them into Our particular Care and Protection . And if the Licence and Distemper of the Time shall so far transport any men , as to presume upon memory of former Animosities , and of what is past , to use any Reproaches towards them , We will look upon such persons as disturbers of the Peace and Security of the Kingdom , and shall cause them to be prosecuted accordingly . And towards this Settlement and Composure , and for the prevention of many Inconveniences which may fall out , We think nothing so necessary as Our presence with you , by which ( in a very short time ) every member of the Army , who shall faithfully adhere to you in advancement of the Publick Peace , would , with the blessing of GOD , finde himself secured and provided for to his satisfaction : And longing for that Blessed Time , We bid you heartily farewell .

Given at Our Court at the Hague the 16/26 day of May , 1660. in the Twelfth Year of Our Reign .

To Our Trusty and VVel-beloved General MONCK , to be communicated to the Officers of the Army .

Rochester , May 24. 1660.

I Do appoint Mr. Henry Muddiman to ca 〈…〉 this LETTER to be forthwith Printed and Published .

GEORGE MONCK .
